Loner

It's weird, but I cant wait to go back to Canada and the only reason for it, it's because I get to spend so much time alone. I love my friends and my family and I really did missed them, but I'm kinda oversaturated with all the socializing. Is not that I dont like spending time with them or any of that, is just that sometimes I dont want to be with anyone and especially I dont want to be talking at all.
I miss being in my quiet lonely apartment, it's kinda funny because when I'm there I miss people and all that, but now I feel so ready to go back.

 

i feel you, lady. time to chill w/oneself is fucking fabulous, but friends and family get a lil urked and don't quite seem to understand sometimes. they mean well.

 

I'm the same, I have times where I love being around people, but that can get too much and I just want to be back in my flat on my own! I love my own company and always find something to do, I love going for walks on my own.

 

I love them too, they seem to make music of all the static in my mind.

 

Yeah, I seem to be able to think everything through and work everything out just by going for a walk on my own. Sometimes I just need it, and head out somewhere without even thinking about it!

Drives me crazy to be surrounded by people 24hrs a day!

 

I'm the same way.

 

I really need my alone time in order to recharge, I'd go insane without it.

I love having 3 weeks off right now, because I'll be seeing my friends pretty much everyday when I get back to college in January.

 

I've been seeing my friends for a week now. I was not pretty sane before, but now I've seen how much worse it has gotten. It's too much crazyness combined, I can see how we are better off sepparated :tongue:

 

I thrive on alone time. It's a major reason I'm still single- as I seem to attract women who want to smother me and I pull away almost on impulse.

 

I'll probably be one of those people who will stay single for a whole lotta time.

I just cannot possibly have another person next to me all the time. It would drive me completely fucken insane.

 

I used to be VERY like that and I still think I kinda am the same way, but I've also discovered that with the right person around, it doesnt really matter.
When I was younger I was the kind of girl to say to guys, "why do you want to be here all the time?" and "go, do whatever you want. Please!". I dont know, I just got very bored of people, but I guess it really depends on the person.

 

Yeah I'm like that, I can't be with anyone too intense - drives me crazy.

 

Yes, it's good sometimes to be able to spend some time with yourself.

 

Choosing to be alone is cool.

Feeling alone(lonely) is not.

But it is nice to be able to be by yourself and still have the company of good friends when you want it.

 

So true. It's important to feel good about yourself.

 

True, but you could be surrounded by hundreds of people and stil feel lonely.

I think a bit of the two is brilliant!

 

Yeah, feeling alone in the company of others is probably the worst.
I don't understand people who need to be surrounded by people all the time though. After a while, I need a break.

 

Perhaps people need to be surrounded by others to feel good about themselves and not have to think about things, or maybe they just crave attention. Or they could just loke being around people!

I can be very sociable, but there comes a time when I disappear for a while and do things on my own. I once disappeared to Manchester because I felt like having to do something alone!
