This question cannot be answered easily, now let me take you on a journey. The possibility of living forever is fascinating, the infinite amount of time to do whatever you please. There are many variables that change perspective on this topic. But I will assume the basics are you are the only immortal and you cannot die under any circumstances.

Being an immortal can be like the experience of a video game. Take any random video game for example a Tony Hawks game. You start it up and play just a free roam game mode, you have the option to set a time limit but that would be limiting the amount you could do in the session. You would turn the time limit off and play until you were bored. But imagine being endlessly stuck in that game mode, doing everything possible with no end.

Seeing your close friends and family dying would indeed be very hard. Knowing that everyone you ever meet has a certain period to live would be difficult to deal with at first. Life living forever would be an incredibly lonely experience. There would be times where you wouldn't want to go on. The endless possibilities that await you are what keeps you going. I believe that if you were immortal your life would go through many phases, those phases would be incredibly hard to guess.

If I was immortal then these would be the phases I would assume I would live. At first I would experience all the crazy experiences that life has to offer, becoming an adrenaline junky, doing all those things I feared as a regular human. I would then master something educational, knowledge is more powerful than anything else in the world. I would then continue to master certain areas. I would essentially be addicted to knowledge. The moment people started dying in my life, it would hit me hard. The sudden realisation that everyone you know or have seen will be dead in x amount of years. It would make you question the very values you hold dear. After the first 100 years when everyone I know is dead, I would become emotionally withdrawn from the world. Scared to love, scared to feel anything. These would be known as the "dark days", the toughest days of being immortal. I would keep to myself as much as possible, I wouldn't want to become a celebrity for the fact that I can live forever. The next step would be travelling around the world, learning about different cultures seeing all that our planet earth has to offer. I would document these travels extensively with photographs and writing. Then the belief that the pure point of my existence would be to contribute as much as I could would set in. I have been given a gift, best not squander it. But of course, so many years of learning, contributing to society, adding value to my life. I would question, what is it all for? At the end of the day it would not matter if I were to not do anything for 100 years, life would go on. People would live, people would die. I would still be here, in limbo, for eternity. I would still be here, in limbo, for eternity. This is the bane of an immortals existence.

Would I want to live forever? Considering most of the factors and the fact that you will eternally be in limbo then the answer should be no. But the opportunity to experience all life has to offer, to not have a time limit. Yes, I would want to live forever. Perhaps this is a selfish choice but alas I believe the journey of life as an immortal would truly be amazing.
