I call myself a "social loner". I like company and also like being alone. Paws

After 8 months of being surrounded by mother and my pouty ex, hell yeah I wanted solitude! There are days now where I prefer to be alone...even though i spend that alone time on my Mac...hmmm....but it makes me most happy when I'm walking around Vienna with just my dog.

Antsy, your career keeps you associated with many people at one time. Do you feel OK with that or do you see it as a necessity ? Paws

I love what I do and I love to help people and teach people how to train properly so no it doesnt bother me - its more a case of the people around me - friends and family who love me wondering why I prefer my solitude. Yhey know what I am like and dont take it personally but I see everyone else I know craving company and not being happy with their own company 24/7 and I know Im not like everyone else in that respect but sometimes I wonder if I have a heart or the same feelings about spending time with others as my loved ones - if that makes any sense!

Being alone is one of the highest goals in most eastern religions. It's the only route to one's true self. You may just be a more highly evolved person. Now whether you're happy that way may be another story. Paws

I think that the reason that I enjoy solitude is that I grew up as an only child. Being alone and finding ways to amuse myself became normal to me.

I love to entertain...parties..houseguests....

But I'm best when I get some apart time.

I love being by myself. It took me years to get there. To me it shows that a person is comfortable with themselfs.
I love company, being around my friends but I soooooo love my own space.

Then that's their problem. You're not a product nor a commodity. They want you, they like and love you. I can see why. The more distant or unavailable you are to them, the more they'll seek you out or label you as something that can satisfy their needs. Paws

Definitely. More and more, I prefer to be onmy own a great deal of the time. However, the desire, or even need, for contact is felt. Isn't that why we're here, to a degree? And intimate contact would be nice, if it didn't eventually infringe too much on the solitude.

Good question.

Dbert, in a universal way, yes that's likely the healthiest way to go. We humans crave as children do. We haven't grown up yet, no matter what our age. On a deeper level we may all be together, just have to learn how to tune in. Think that's were "soul-mate", came from. A universe of fragmented souls attempting to re-unite. Paws

I'd love to spend time alone with you. I mean that in an inquisitive way. You are a very interesting person. Most of us on here are alone, when we laugh, cry, whatever. How sad is that ? Well that's up to each one of us to feel and decide. I'm here for the company, the strokes and compliments. We all need that. Alone or not. You may need it less, but it still feels good when you experience it. You are intelligent, witty, beautiful and charming. Be proud, be yourself and we may learn from your honesty. Paws

Yup..and, being aquarius is a part of it...
I do want intimacy, and more...but, being alone is a must for me at the same time...
Antz, I understand that alot.
Love helping, and peole. But, am a loner.
If I could have an ideal? A relationship that has trust, and respect for who we each are, and love...
I wander off sometimes...lol. Just get absorbed inwhat I'm doing...
