Can you be alone and not feel lonely??

I have a friend who hates to be alone, EVER, and it may destroy her marriage. Even when she and her husband are in the same room together they have to be doing the samething. She can't stand it if he is on the computer while she watches t.v., and both the computer & t.v. are in the same room! ! If her husband is out of the house, she will invite friends over or she will drop in on a friend or go to her club. She ALWAYS has to have someone around.

I have tried asking her about this but she never wants to talk about it.

How about you are you afraid of being alone??

I am quite happy being alone at times,being lonely is another thing,at least for me.

I enjoy sharing my time with oters just as much as I enjoy being on my own,depends on the day and the mood.

Having someone in my back pocket would drive me crazy.laugh

wave Hi there Scottishlass: I love being alone, I could not have someone around me all the time. I hope your friend gets some counselling because,yes, it could destroy her marriage. I would think he is probably being smothered by this type of marriage. How sad!!sigh dunno handshake

Some people are just like that. Sounds to me like it would benefit her greatly to have a bigger family in her household. If she worked, goes to church, hangs out with friends, cares for some kids, spends some time with hubby, takes in a boarder, volunteers, etc... day after day after day... I bet in time she'd actually start needing some alone time.

When I say I don't like being alone, it's not in the context of your friend. Everyone needs time to do their own things. I have an uncle who's like that though, expected my aunt to do everything with him, to be in the same room...drove her a little nuts. As far as I know he's doing it with his second wife (my aunt passed away a few years ago).

I guess my not liking to be alone falls more on the being lonely side. If I ever get graced with a new boyfriend (who becomes new spouse) it wouldn't be a requirement for us to do the same things. Or even in the same room all the time for that matter. If he wanted to work on something out in the garage & I'm in the house...fine with me...I can always go out & see how he's doing & if he needs anything. He can watch football while I read or crochet (very possibly in the same room..lol)....Being a couple doesn't mean you're attached at the hip.

I like to be alone...In fact sometimes I need to be alone to center and think when I'm stressed...Some days the only sound I like to hear...is the sound of peace and quiet!!!!!!!!!

"The trouble is not really in being alone, it's being lonely. One can be lonely in the midst of a crowd" Raven to Mikhail in Christine Feehan's "Dark Prince".

I don't mind being alone. I enjoy it sometimes. It's being lonely that's hard.
