Hate that I'm always referred to a loner

Not a day goes by when I'm not questioned about 'being a loner or feeling lonely'. Why?
Members of my family continue to ask this. WHY?!

YES I have NO real friends.
YES I have NO social life.
However, I do not feel lonely.
Reasons: I am surrounded by people (in uni and outside of uni) I communicate with those around me (in uni and outside of uni) I do social things with people (whether it's with my class-mates at uni or with my cousin's friends that I get a long with).
You do have a social life and you do have friends. Even if they're not 'real' friends, I'm sure you'll make and meet up with some. Just because your family members forces their opinions as to what you are doesn't necessarily you are that person. You're not a loner and that's the exact reason why you don't feel lonely. If you want, explain to your family members who you really are and shut them down.
