solitude

Post Reply New Topic

99% of the time i would rather be alone then be around people, its the 1% of the time that i WANT to be around people but am alone that annoys the hell out of me

Yeah, this is me....but from time to time I do want to be social --(being in a room of talking people while I mostly listen is my idea of socializing )--since loneliness catches up with me sooner or later; then it's back to the safety of my room. Being in solitude is the only time I feel like myself.

Yup, I think that's the same for most of us here.

One of my favorite quotes: "I don't wanna be lonely, I just wanna be alone." - Daniel Johns of Silverchair

I like being alone. Although I'm very used to having a family by now I don't feel they drive me crazy any more. DH is very similar to me I can say anything to him, so he doesn't really feel like "other people". My kids are both autistic, don't say much and each enjoy playing alone. We really don't bother each other very much and live quite contently. We have three floors and a computer for each of us. Everybody gets enough alone time.

I still can't take too big a dose of other people, so I try to space that out.

The times i feel the most alone i am usually either with many people or with just one in a very close setting.
I feel less alone around animals

yes, I think so.

Solitude is nice, but I do have a need to talk to people as well. When I am in a larger group of people where you are suppose to just 'mingle' I feel completely left out, ignored and lonely. I feel more accepted and appreciated when I am only with one or two people.

Agree with that one. I feel like to be surrounded by peoples... from Mars. I have no idea what to do, what to say, I remain there saying notting and observing those weird aliens.

I doubt that such a person exists but, yeah, hypothetically, it sounds nice.

I agree, but as we all know, there's a huge gap between theory and practice.
