I can't pretend to know what your circumstances are of course, but you should consider trying things out on your own if you're capable. It's a scary thing I understand, but worth it...I think you'll find you're around people more than you want to be. lol.

I'm not willing to change my mind, BUT...I think what I actually meant to say was THIS:

I would move into a 2-bedroom apartment and my roomate and I would each have our own room... We would share the rest (living room, bathroom, kitchen, etc)... I could still "be by myself" when I want to!!

Just you wait. It's actually easier to get along with family than complete stranger roommates having done it twice myself. They will not give you space, they are noisy and always have a different schedule than you and many will steal or borrow your stuff or eat your food. Get your own studio apartment!!

Don't worry that's not a problem unless you do that when surrounded by people. There's a gal at work that argues with herself as she walks up and down the hall. Now that's a problem!

Our Spanish teacher talks to herself as well. She's very open about it, and it's actually quite amusing (but then she's an amusing person, so that might be why).

I generally enjoy being alone. In fact, the best moments in my life happened when I was alone and "chatting" with my nonstop brain monologue. But when it gets too depressing, I really want to have someone to distract my attention from myself. Which happens lots of times.

Alone is a strange concept. If I am talking on the phone, I can be physically 'alone' but not socially alone. What bothers me is when I am a 'ghost'. You know, you walk into a room, say 'Hi!' or ask a question, and no one responds. They don't look at you or talk to you. It's like they can't even see you - you are a ghost. You can hear them, but they act like they have headphones on - they don't respond.

When this happens, and I know I am just being ignored, I don't push it (a.k.a. yell, nag, get in someone's face). I just get depressed. Because of this, I guess I pay special attention to others when they talk (even to people other than me). I sometimes 'intercede' on their behalf (sort of say, "Hey - he/she is talking to you!"). I think I'd like it if someone would do the same for me.

I too hate it when people just ignore me when I pay them special attention. It feels as if I'm not "worth" listening to or that I'm boring or annoying. It hurts a lot when someone you like doesn't like you that much when you like them, or if you don't know if they actually have any interest in you when you have interest in them (as in a platonic sense). I sometimes feel lonely while alone but I find it helpful at times to be alone so I could get things done faster, as someone has already mention in group activities. I could understand that being alone is sometimes not lonely when we want to be alone for various reasons, but I also find that being alone or being the only one to have certain interests or commitment can lead to loneliness and not just being physically alone in itself. Anyways, that was a little off topic; I just hate it when people ignore me! lol

I do feel lonely on occasion when I am by myself but when I´m surrounded by NT´s at work or a party then I really feel alone and helpless.

I am a loner.

I've had plenty of friends, though mainly out of necessity (to appear normal or make-due in high school), than out of a real desire. I never call(ed) my friends ever. I enjoy being alone so long as I have something to keep my mind busy, and the times I feel really alone are when I'm surround by people all small-talking around me.

I don't like to be alone, too much. When I start to feel lonely, I go out with some friends.
