So I prefer being alone, anyone else share the same opinion ? ?

Question

Well let me start by saying I'm a college student, I just started college 3 days ago and I'm quite content of being alone. Basically for as long as I could remember I've always liked the solitude life, I'm not sure why, but it's just me and ever since I'm just enjoying keeping to myself.

I've never had that many friends throughout HS and grade school, I've had a few but I'm by no means popular and that's the way I like it.

I like doing my own thing, you might find this weird but there are people out there who prefer being alone, they find they can get more things done and in the end they feel better.

Perhaps a main reason why I prefer solo life, is because of the fact that 1) I'm not much of a conversationalist and 2) I don't consider myself a people person......

However I'm quite happy with the outcome and perhaps one day I'll change my mind, however as it stands now I'm loving the alone life/single life....

How do you live your life ? Do you prefer companionship or being alone ?

Answer 1

there's nothing wrong with that..you're probably not ready to share yourself but that's ok...having someone for you to share your everyday life is tough sometimes...cause when you need your space they won't let you alone...but it's also a blessing to have someone there for you whenever you may need...doing things on your own does get the job done quicker but sometimes it takes two...

there's nothing wrong with the way you feel ... you're just INDEPENDENT  

Answer 2

I can understand where you are coming from.  I think I would consider myself a social person but I definitely have days where I like to be by myself, not bothered by anyone.  And I think that is normal to want your own time and space.  It's easier to concentrate and get things done.  However, I think unless you have at least a couple good friends to rely on when you want to go hangout or do something you might soon be lonely.  Especially at a college where friends are a big part of the lifestyle...I wouldn't seclude yourself too much.  But I think it's awesome to know you are just a person who would rather be alone and I respect that.  Just make sure you are having fun and doing what you really want to do and not what what is easier.

Answer 3

Although I prefer companionship it's been about 3 year's that I've been alone since my girlfriend of 14 years decided to go back to her husband with out telling me, you can image the hurt I felt after being a wonderful man all those year's, doing everything for her. I kind of gotten accustom to staying by myself and that's the way it will stay until perhaps the right lady will come my way.Right now I have peace of mine being alone and in a way I'm happy.

Answer 4

I love to be alone and I am 29 years old. I go out an can accomplish so much without having to worry about someone else. On the rare occassion I take my best friend with me somewhere, you always have to leave when they want to, and can't leave when you want.

I love the freedom of being alone, its refreshing

Answer 5

hey if that's you're thing so be it!!! but, abandonment issues due tend to sneak up on ya or manifest into something else.......and then again, hey drive on! if you're cool with it that's all that matters.  I personally need some interaction with people just to not feel alone.  

Answer 6

i do both. im an extrovert and kind of a noisy person. but at times i like to spend time alone to.

sometimes during projects i find it better to do things myself, coz sometimes and most of the time the result or outcome of what others do, dont meet up to my expectations....  :)

Answer 7

I am comfortable being alone but also like to be with people who are special to me. I don't like crowds or groups and prefer a one to one.

I sometimes overanalyze why I like being alone and give myself a hard time about it. I guess I should just accept it.
