serene56: Do you enjoy being alone Be honest


To think, then yes I do.

But in general, not really. Did you know that during WWII they specifically chose asocial types who preferred being alone to be the guards at concentration camps? It's nice to know that forum poster's here would have fitted right in amongst the Auschwitz staff(and to be honest, I can see why).

Anyway, I really don't think the online world is good for people at all. I think it just reinforces reclusion, exclusion and asociality.

Bogart_1960: alone I enjoy, lonely not at all .

I never consider fill out “loneliness” with someone to fill that “space”. if I do that, definitely it will grow into being lonely. I think understand and know what it is that we want… in life is the key.

“Lend yourself to others, but give yourself to yourself.”.

I like being alone. I never feel lonely.

I have friends when I need to meet someone, and family also. But most of the time I am very content in my own company.

It's difficult for me to be alone, having me, myself and I around all the time? conversing

Do I enjoy having some time to myself, spending quiet moments reading or daydreaming? Yes I do. Do I have to remain single and alone to have these moments? A resounding No!

I have learnt to be alone, and certainly prefer being alone to being with the wrong partner. But loneliness, that empty, hollow feeling is always there when something good happens in my life and I want to share the joy of it, or when I arrive home from work to a dark and empty house with no one to give me a hug or listen to my day's woes, or someone to snuggle with under the duvet on cold rainy nights.

I'd give up my solitary existence in a heartbeat to be with the man I fall in love with and who loves me in return.

Yes. It gives me time to reflect on things and to fully appreciate everyone I have in my life.

Been alone for most part of nearly 5 years now...so comfortable with myself, yes....I have wonderful company! laugh

Problem is when you talk to these fandangled physiatrists & they ask you:
Was the cat at the door when you got got home?
Were the dogs at the gate.... " " " "?
Do you talk to your plants today? doh
Did they lean towards ya? OMG!

I could not have said it any better. I tried twice to get out of that seemingly eternal emptiness and hollowness. I figured that anyone was , had to be better than no one. I just crossed my fingers and hoped that somehow things would work out. 'Things' didn't but not being lonely was relished while it lasted.
Now I no longer care. I have lived alone most of my life, childhood included. No one wanted me and though I tried to adjust and accept that , it is at times still hard but futile to hope, especially when I see how happy others can be and those that are. Thank God not everyone is not as I am; not so unwanted.
