Prefer to be alone or with people?

Post Reply New Topic

Usually I prefer to be alone.

I prefer to be alone. I do have people I like to be around.. people I value and enjoy. Still, it can be a lot and I cherish my downtime to be alone and rest/recharge. I have to prepare for being around them and decompress after. Alone is when I'm most at peace and okay. Alone is when I hit the internal reset button.

It's easier to be alone. No need to try to act like someone I'm not, no need to please others, no need to worry about how I'm coming off. It's lonely but I would rather be by myself, just hanging out with my pet cat.

Recently my roommates had a party and it was a good time. But some girl posted me on her social media asking people "do you think I could take this b**** in a fight?" (she deleted it). I found this out from my roommate who still follows her, so I went on her account and messaged her asking why she posted it. She basically sent a paragraph, and said someone told her that I was making "b****y comments and making faces". She also said, "idk if you're just not good with new people". Sheesh. I never said anything about anybody, I don't do that. As for the faces, I'm not sure what she meant. We all were laughing and had a good time. I try to be nice to everybody and I don't talk about people bc that's lame.

Stuff like this just solidifies my need to be alone.

Alone

I am physically alone very nearly 24/7.
.

It depends on what I'm doing.

Working, reading email, reading a book, generally being on my computer: alone.

Watching movies or TV, traveling, or hiking: with a close friend or small group. I also enjoyed gaming with a small group, including LAN parties back in the day.

Eating: depends. Sometimes I enjoy dining with someone or a small group for the conversation. Other times I need a break to decompress. I want to sit quietly reading my book while waiting for food and eating it.

I refer to life as a a two-player game some people play solo.

I've lived alone most of my adult life. I think I would enjoy living with a partner who also needed a certain amount of space.

Alone

People don't get me anyways and see me as a weirdo

I prefer to be alone but still want to socialize from time to time. Being with someone all the time drains me.

No specific preference.

Most of the time, I feel somewhere in between of wanting to be around people, and the preference of being alone - go figure!

Alone about 80% of the time, 20% with people is a nice balance for me.

Times where I like being alone but I do like being around family, I have had to help out before with the other aspies in my family from my experience

i prefer to be alone most of the time.

i dont mind one other person being around though.

I prefer to be alone

I prefer to be with person.
Not people. Just person.
Alone is pretty terrible.
Other people are pretty terrible.
But having that one person that you can just vibe with, all day, every day, is immaculate.

^ s**t, well said.

Alone feels like the natural state; with others feels like fish out of water.
