Can you be by yourself? Do even like being by yourself?

when i am around other people, i always feel self conscious, and that i have to be fun and witty, otherwise i have no place.

alone, i dont really care. unless i am in a mirror.
 
^Why, may I ask

I enjoy having company, and I love to talk. I also like just being around people who make me feel happy even when we're not talking. Other people also make many activities more fun. I overall consider myself to be a friendly and social person. I'm also someone who likes physical contact...I enjoy a hug from a friend and physical affection from my boyfriend. The boyfriend also introduces another companion aspect. Aside from the relationship norms, he also makes me feel safer than I sometimes would feel by myself.

I am perfectly content being by myself- just to an extent. After a while, I tend to get bored. However, sometimes there's nothing better than making myself something yummy, putting on some comfortable sweats, and watching a movie by myself. Alone time is definitely important.

Cool--nice reply :woot: Thanks for taking your time

nope. most definitely am not.

You can't catch anything :funny:
 
I'm ok with being by myself, but I talk too much, and when I say shut up, sometimes I don't shut up.

I dont mean to be an ass, but whats that like? Loving to talk and be around people. What makes you want to be near someone? I'm the kind of person that works best alone, so needing company is kind of an alien concept to me.
 
I have always been a loner and a hermit, with lots of friends who are always trying to contact me and share my company. I'm friendly with everyone, and I love meeting new people and socializing, but I need a LOT of space. I deliberately avoid numerous friends and family on a regular basis. I am often drawn to other loners. I prefer small groups and one-on-one conversations. I enjoy my private time more than most parties or social situations. When I'm alone, I'm am content. When I'm with others, I am content. However, I do cherish my solitude...I need it in large doses.

That goes for me too. With the job I have, I DEFINITELY need as much time alone as possibly.

I consider myself to be a friendly person but I still prefer to be a loner that's the only time I can truly be comfortable, not to mention that I have very low tolerance for people and large crowds; that's why I've never been to a concert before.

What's a concert?

Yeah, I'm a loner.
 
I love being alone. Most of the day I am around other people and after work I am pretty much dragged out of my apartment to go out and socialize... so when I have a moment of solitude I relish it.

When I am alone I can:

  • Think about cleaning my apartment... just think though
  • Force myself to finally clean my apartment
  • Feel that my apartment is too clean so I mess it up again
  • Waste my free time away reading information that will only be brought up in pointless conversation
  • Ignore everyone's IMs... go get a life whydontcha?
  • Smoke a billion cigarettes
  • Get really inebriated and socialize on this glorinormous forum!
  • Feel sad and empty about socializing on this highly lacking personality forum :csad:
  • Try and find out where that rotting smell is coming from in my apartment
  • Wonder who's panties those were that I found underneath my bed when I first moved in
  • Walk around nude, nude, nudity... skin n ****
  • Photoshop Bamfer's face onto various hobbitses and laugh at his inadverdent manloveliness
  • Make stupid lists that nobody reads nor cares about but I enjoy making them anyway because they are mildly therapeutic while being somewhat disturbing at the same time showing that I don't really care what people think but knowing that Chaseter is a mongoloid who is secretly in love with Pedo-Bear... haha... yuck
  • i'm le tired
 
I like being by myself. Reading and writing, two of my favorite activites, take silence and concentration so solitude is a must.
 
Not really a fan of alone time. I get bored pretty easily after a while. Even if it's just comfortable silence I like at least having someone there. Otherwise I end up talking to myself a whole lot which isn't cool with me. Hard not to be alone when everybody's either in class or working two jobs though. It's like I'm the only guy left that gets weekends off.
 
The only downsize about being by yourself is that sometimes time tends to go by pretty fast to where you can't enjoy it that much.

Honestly, I don't think it's something that can really be described any more than I already did. The desire to be near someone is just that- a personal desire. If it's not something you've ever experienced, you won't be able to understand it through words :csad: Maybe try to think of it like this: say you're in a good mood. For me, being around people I love would likely enhance that mood. If you don't like company, though, I'm guessing you wouldn't feel the same way. Have you ever been in love? That's the strongest example of desiring another person's company that I can think of.
 
I like to balance it out. Sometimes I really need to be alone, and I love my alone time. Then sometimes I just need to be out with friends or around my family or something. I balance it out.
