Being alone can be ok but took a really long time for me to really be ok with, though I'd much prefer to be in good company,
it's so much better than being alone. When it comes to social situations I get sad when things come to an end, I almost feel
like it is easier to be alone. People can be really awesome and I don't think one could have as good of a time alone than in
good company, even if the people you are with are strangers, as long as it is a good set and setting things seem just better.


Though I still enjoy being alone- one can run into the danger of getting lost if left in solitude for too long.

It seems fine, but I am slowly losing my mind,



This^^^ I find drinking and tripping keeps me sane in the mundane bullshit eternity we call life. If I didn't have psychedelics I think I would actually go crazy. Being alone sucks but once I'm in a relationship I realize that sucks just as much so I'm like always chasing after the thing I don't have which drives me up the fucking wall :sad:

Depends on what you mean by being alone. Do I feel the need to be surrounded by people/friends? No, I actually prefer to just be left alone in that respect. But if you mean single, no I don't enjoy it.

I'm the definition of anti-social. Yes I enjoy my time alone. I'm content to binge watch TV shows or play video games. I don't have some unfulfilled desire to go out partying to hanging out with friends. I can't stand most people, I'm guessing because I'm so different from everyone. It's not really common people come across someone as anti-social as I am and that's to be expected. So they don't really understand me. This leads to plenty of difficulties and misunderstandings. In my earlier years I tried to maintain friendships and shit, but I eventually realized it's not who I was or what I wanted.

The life I chose does suck sometimes. It's a lot harder to find a job without having friends who can get you hired on. It's harder to get loans or something without references to put down. But for the most part I'm fine with it. I've found most people will steal you blind and stab you in the back if given the opportunity. I was always a very trusting and open individual (to compensate for my anti-socialness) and it's done nothing but come back to bite me in the ass.

I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today.
Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear.
I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear.

yeah, i kind of have to.

i have a great family, but dont get out much anymore. probably 80% of my waking hours are alone. i can only drive if its first thing in the morning, before i have a drink, and dont have long to be out before i start w/ding

so unless i have a driver available, i'm stuck at home

its such a bitch to make friends anyways. everyone wants to use you, for everything, all the time.
id rather talk to strangers

when it comes down to it, you're just a 'resource' to most of your 'friends'

I don't drive myself much either, I drink too much.

So I feel it, I 100% feel it, I get a lift to work and back and thats about it.

and fuck the people I work with, I've lived too far different of a lifestyle to relate much.

It is the best of times, it is the worst of times. 

Overall yes.  I need to have both alone time and social interaction to stay sane though.  I'm just most comfortable when I'm alone.

im used to being alone, i have been for most of my childhood, adolecence, teens, and adult life.

it's just great isnt it, to have SO MUCH time to just think about things. because i just LOVE to think of how i dont mesh very well with people.

its fantastic to leave the house with no objective to just travel around alone and come back home alone to bed and stare at the computer and walls and shit.

love it, wouldnt change a thing/10


oh and its super great to deal with depression alone and to deal with having no real meaningful interpersonal relationships with people i can touch.


i'm so content with it you dont even know

You can only really be yourself when you're alone.

i like being alone. doing absolutely nothing on a weekend and just chillin at home is fine with me


theres certain things i just cant deal with so its fine. like these days i straight up dont even wanna hang out with someone if theyre drinking. drunk people are annoying as fuck and i just cant deal with it anymore. so nowadays i see a lot less of my old friends than i used to. all they do is fuckin drink and its annoying as fuck

There are 2 things I love in this world. Solitude and silence. Preferably together.

Very much

I appreciate silence

and people not constantly crying about their life, whining, nagging, always talking about trivial bullshit

I do and at the same time I don't

I was in a close relationship for quite a long time and during that period of my life my happiness basically revolved around her/being around her

But that was a long time ago I've kinda forgotten what it's like to not be one with my thoughts all the time

Having someone special to talk to about things that were bothering me was always nice but I think my time spent alone has been worthwhile because it has allowed me to begin to find peace in who I am

Its not too bad ime

I can be pretty social when I wanna be. When my girlfriend is outta town I just go to bars my myself and I always end up finding a group to hang out with. I definitely need time to recharge my batteries though. Some weeks I'll go out Thursday Friday and Saturday and some weeks ill just sit at home and play video games, or watch Netflix with my girl. You gotta have a balance of both

Just got outta a pretty klingy relationship. During i found myself hating it always with the girl always her whining about the things i did this and that, i was whipped i treated her like a queen and she didnt appreciate shit. i was wishing to get some days apart from her to myself, i enjoyed my alone time. Now its over i kinda miss having her around.

During the week i really do enjoy my alone time, but on the weekends im calling all my dudes and spend the entire weekend partying. I was pretty solitary person before that relationship. Now i find myself slightly more outgoing when i choose to be.

Still miss that damn bitch tho, nice having someone to cuddle with and watch movies on boring rainy days. I even miss the nagging, sad to admit it..... Atleast now i have time to grow mushrooms, play guitar, wrench, go riding, work out, get on shroomery, all kinds of things my girl hated me doing i dont get why. Thats right she even had a strong hate for the shroomery, fuck that bitch.

My dudes are so happy im done with that. They even told me they contenplated killing her so they could get me back :lol:.

i prefer being alone. I love it.

I could stay inside my house for years straight and be fine without talking to anyone.

I hate having to go anywhere.

I have always been introverted.

Some people can't stand being alone. Like my parents, constantly in a relationship their entire adult lives. Bouncing into a new one as quick as possible after break ups. (they're divorced)

I'm not too concerned though. I view life as an inner-journey more than anything anyways
