Anyone else like being alone?

http://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/200703/field-guide-the-loner-the-real-insiders

I really enjoy my own company. I have a couple of friends that I hang out with regularly, but I'm happiest when I'm alone. I'm not a shy person or anything like that, I can be social when I want to, I just rarely have the desire to. Does anyone else feel this way?

I do too.

So you're not alone in liking being alone. :P

I need my alone time, but I also really enjoy social interactions.

I hate being alone. I let my wandering thoughts get the best of me. I create scenarios in my head that depress the heck out of me and get so worked up that eventually I begin thinking they are true. I love being with friends even if we aren't doing anything productive because at least I'm in company that could be my mind occupied. This is why I usually love being really, really busy.

Depends on my mood, really.

I greatly enjoy the presence of other people, but I hate interaction with them, wherever that puts me.

And this is the internet; let's not even consider being surprised the majority are introverts.

You're a loner, so am I. No big deal.

Glad to hear there are others out there. I just think its interesting how some people desire a lot of social interaction and others dont.

I hate how introverted people are potrayed. It seems scociety finds us weird, what is the first thing they bring up when a kid goes crazy and shoots up his school? "He was a loner" as if all loners are sad, creepy people that hate eveyone. What does him being a loner have to do with it you know?

i prefer being alone, because I can't stand the idiotic people who inhabit New Jersey.

Sometimes :P

no not really

People constantly drain me. They take energy and effort to be around. So I'm not so much sure if I'm introverted or just plain lazy. I don't have the energy to bother most of the time.

You're introverted. The link I gave is to an article that talks about loners and it brings up that feeling you're talking about. I feel the same way to after a full day of socializing with people, it really is mentally draining.

[QUOTE="Darthkaiser"] There are many others mate, I am a very social person, I can get along with people really easily. But I must say I do enjoy my time alone, and I'd rather be alone that with anybody else but it's not like I hate social groups.PernicioEnigma

Thats true, and there is definetley a difference between the two.

I like my alone time, but I also like social interaction.

Yes I do, or with one other person. Any more I cannot really enjoy.

Being alone tends to feed my internet addiction I try not to do it too much, but when I get depressed I don't go out much. When I get manic I become super social. I will go days where the only time I am alone is when I sleep.

Yes, I do. I'm an intra-personal leaner, so go figure. Alone time is very important to me, but I love spending time with friends.

not really,i feel out of place when im alone

Sometimes, yes.

There was a time in my life when I always wanted to be alone, that wasonly a year ago.I still like my "me" time once in awhile.

Well, I enjoy being alone sometimes and I enjoy being social sometimes. Just depends on weather I can be bothered getting out of bed or not. XD
