being a loner

Post Reply New Topic

I can be a loner at times but at the same time I crave human contact occasionally too. The two aren't necessarily mutually exclusive, and what is most important is to have a balance between the two: to not become too lonely, and to not be too social to the point where you never have any time to yourself. I could go a day, two, or three days even without a lot of people around me or social interaction. Then I get bored and start feeling miserable, and need some social situation. I get a strong sense of regression when I do nothing... but feel overloaded if I do too much.

Balance is key. Balance, balance, balance. It's okay to be a loner sometimes, and it's okay to be social sometimes. But be one of these 24\7 and it might just break you up one way or another.

I spend my weekends studying, reading, and writing. I don't feel bad about it... it's just the way it is. The usual weekend of going out, partying, etc, doesn't seem interesting to me and I don't buy into the worship of that lifestyle.
