Do you enjoy being alone?

One thing has taken me years to finally figure out. I've known it all along, just never faced it. I HATE being alone. I don't even know what I enjoy, never did. Video games, school, work, drinking (daily now) have just been ways to pass time to forget about the fact that FUCK I don't know what I even like in life anymore.
After my recent break up, I have a lot more "alone" time. With summer school, it's even more apparent because I have some friends who hit me up to hang out but I just can't. So the down time I do get, I spend pissed off most of the time lol.
Netflix, drinking, video games, listening to music alone in my room... is not a healthy or even fun lifestyle anymore. Idk if it ever was.
What the hell do you fools do for fun when alone? Do you really enjoy your alone time?

I enjoy it until it hits like thursday or friday then I get really anxious to do something. I honestly haven't been enjoying my alone time much either. It consists of being on my computer or watching TV. It's also really hard to find much to do when it's triple digits outside.

I am alone almost 90% of my time.
Even when I am with people, I am alone.
It seems fine, but I am slowly losing my mind,

I wonder how similar we all truly are, damn.
I was hoping to hear like "Hell ya man, I love being alone. I can do what I want."
My buddy told me that recently. Instead of being all sympathetic towards my break up he tells me he's jealous that I'm "living the dream."
SOme dream lol.
I don't like bars as I imagine you all don't. I DO like group events, but not like that. Shit I rather do lazer tag or something dorky like that than go to a bar. There's even lazer tag with BYOB around me here.... I don't have enough friends (willing friends) to ever plan shit with.
I go to shows alone now. I pretty much have to do everything alone, unless it's smoking weed then I can always find a friend -.-

Yes!
Tonight has been the first night in a while that I've been alone.
I thought I hated it, but I've missed it.

I LOVE being alone!!! It actually seems to drain my energy just being around people for too long even if we're not doing anything.
I like to read, meditate, play my guitar...I used to enjoy hiking alone when I could or kayaking down the river and just listening to nature.

I live alone, out in the desert.
I love people, as much as I hate them, I need them to live.
Being alone has really inflated my ego, because there is no-one to "check" me.

Ive pretty much gone drifter. Being in a new place sucks when you dont know anyone. Id rather know everyone and then just be by myself. Hella mind game right there. I tend to associate with a rather select crew who stand by a rather select code of conduct. Friends for me usually happen by chance.. I dont go to a bar and just "make" friends.
That said Im probably 70% loner, 30% social.

you need to find a way of balancing the two. on weekends I do my best to see a concert or go to a bar, you can meet people if you really put yourself out there I think.
But i love drawing/painting/reading. those things makes it worthwhile to be alone.
personal growth is done alone.

Up until recently, I had a lot of alone time as well. That time was usually filled with drugs and the internet

I think I am too, or at least I have been told that I am countless, countless, times. After a certain point tho, you begin to crave human interaction. Even the slimiest of conversations can make such huge impacts.

I agree, when one spends enough time alone, they will being to truly understand ones self. And once one understands one self, they can begin to change ones self.

Yeah man. I love being alone. Especially on hikes and thangs... Fishing or just enjoying nature...
The only thing is, after a certain point you wanna turn to someone in a great moment and say "isnt this cool" and theres no one there. its very healthy to have a certain degree of aloneness though I think

I'm cool being alone, at the moment. Times and preferences change.
I just got done living in a barracks style housing dealy where I was in a room with like 6-10 other dudes at any time.
Being alone right now is fuckin' the bee's knees.

yeah, when you dont have a lot of alone time and then when u do get it everything seems much more important and whatever you do just automatically feels good cause you feel you earned it, in ur mind its an event for celebration, its a chemical reward response
