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 -.-

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.

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

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.

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

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.
--------------------
With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. 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. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

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'

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

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 .

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

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
