I have a small group of friends I hang out with periodically; otherwise, I stick to myself. Truthfully, I find it difficult to meet people that interest me, platonically or otherwise. Plus, I rarely "go out" where it doesn't involve some objective like climbing a mountain, snowboarding, seeing a show, etc. so that makes it kind of difficult to meet new people. Just going out to troll the bars is boring as fuck. To that end, I am content being alone must of the time. I love to read and kick it by myself playing my instruments, watching netflix, thinking about stuff, etc. I find it to be very rejuvenating.

Snowboarding is probably the only thing I have going on for me now. Going to the bar or club seems dull as fuck and I would rather just buy my own beer and drink with friends at home, but none of my friends do anything exciting.
I want to take up surfing just to have something to do when it's hot out, but I'm pretty broke right now.

I have a considerable amount of friends but it's an inconvenience in that I'm always making decisions about who to chill with.
I love being alone, but if it's for more than 3 or 4 days I get stir crazy. The freedom to just say fuck it and cruise around at ones own whim with no consent or contribution of others is great.

I'm the same way. It's nice to have people to hang out with but sometimes it just gets to be too much. I find I need at least a few days if not a week to myself after a weekend of hanging out with everyone. Sometimes it's just so nice to walk out into the woods and just be alone and listen to nature.

I like a little of both. Too much alone time makes me start over thinking and can get me depressed. Too much being around people can get frustrating especially when its people who are self centered. As far as relationships I enjoy being in one

Someone asked me a similar question today. They didn't believe my answer, which is fine.
I love being alone. I like my friends and we do stuff together a fair amount, but for the most part I find them to be a inconvenience. I have lots of hobbies all of which I prefer to practice alone. I love my job and I like working on different projects, alone. I love outdoor activities like hiking and biking, and when I do them with friends, I look behind me and I'm miles ahead, alone. Everyone does everything too slow, and I hate to go slow. Everyone wants to talk over the experience and film it on their phone and I feel like I'm the only one who actually experienced anything. We walk through the forest and I know the name of every plant, and they are talking about anything except what we are doing, I'm not even convinced they realize we left the couch.
I find everyone in my life to be boring. Everyone I talk to day to day, in many different places, they're boring. Chit chat is boring. Parties are mindless and boring. TV is mindless in boring. Texting and facebook is mindless and boring. The things that others find to be important, I find to be mindless and boring.
I like to help things grow. I'm into plants and worms and bacteria and fungus and soil and outer and inner space. Do you know what a totipotent cell is? It's a single cell from a organism that has the capability of recreating EVERY OTHER PART OF THE ENTIRE ORGANISM IT CAME FROM. WOW! How can I care what happened on game of thrones? How can I play games? How can you go through life not knowing what you are looking at? How can you live life through a cellphone? How can you be excited for fucking Jurassic park and not even know how to do something simple like make cheese or milk a goat? I have to be alone, because until I find a person in this life, that is interested in paying attention to where they are, and what is going on in this immediate time and place, and has actual thoughts and ideas about REALITY and not a manner of fantasy world.... I cannot find you anything but absolutely boring.
I know it doesn't sound like it, but I am very easy to get along with in social settings or anywhere else. But when you ask me, hey do you wanna hang out after work? Some friend are coming over tonight to play cards, wanna come? We're going to the movies to see the same shit remade for the 7th time, we got a extra ticket for you! I have to decline, because its boring, and your boring, and I'd rather go count bats or play with my chickens.
Am I taking crazy pills? Does anyone else feel this way?

Angel I sympathize with you. I hope you can find some joy in what you're doing. I feel pretty damn alone right now. Always wanting more true friends or a girl or both. Right now I spend 99% of my free time alone. I work and my coworkers are fun but they are coworkers and I get bored of them. I'm house sitting this amazing place with a heated pool and jacuzzi and I have no one I want to invite over. Talk about harrowing loneliness.

You sound really fucking lame. Just because someone doesn't like the same things as you, you automatically dissmiss them as boring and lame?
I avoid pretentious douchebags like you at all costs. Have fun playing with your chickens i
