After work, I only want to stay at home, watching TV or surfing the web, I can take talking to friends or family every few days, maybe go out with friends every a few weeks. But for the most part, I just want to be left alone and do my own things at my own pace without having to take into consideration other people's position, feeling or ideas. The mere thought of going out for "night life" every day or even every other day makes me feel tired. Am I old or is my inner geek at work?
Age is really just a number. I've seen 90 year olds with more energy than me and I'm 29. You sound more like you have depression, poor diet, or possibly something else going on. I would suggest getting some new hobbies and exercising.

You could be just tired. Have your thyroid checked. Seriously. You might be depressed, too. Talk to your doctor.
I can tell you from experience that being alone too much is dangerous. Since I retired my friends drag me out of the house a couple of times a week. Otherwise, I would just stay put and read and mess with the computer. It is not wise for those of us who really enjoy our own company to enjoy it to the exclusion of others. We need other people. Make time for them even if you have to force yourself to do it.
People like you. You need people to keep your life balanced. You don't have to "party" if you don't want to but meeting for dinner is a nice option or going to the movie.
p.s. This had nothing to do with age. Believe me, I know.

maybe going to bars after work isn't your thing. Nothing wrong with that - it's not mine either.
I don't know, going to bars usually turned out to be good experience for me. The thing is, somehow mentally I need alone time pretty much everyday. There are only 24 hours a day, I can't do anything to the work part. If I spent my after work awake hours in bars, concerts or on some other noisy activities, I'll have to stay up really late to compensate my loss of alone time, even if I were totally wasted, which of course means loss of sleep and lousy feeling the next day.
There is nothing wrong with enjoying being at home and not being bothered with other people. If I didn't need an income, I doubt seriously I would ever leave the house. People are too much of a disappointment.

You sound alot like me, you're probably an introvert also. Mrs. Chow and I are discussing which family members we need to see this weekend and I'm already exhausted just thinking about it
So I don't necessarily think you're old.
We bust our asses during the week and I'm resentful of having to "waste" the weekend doing things I don't want to do.
Yeah I know sounds selfish but can't help it.
