Re: Does it bother you to be alone or do you value solitude?

Being alone has never bothered me. I prefer to have my pets with me but I don't need to have another human in the house.

Re: Does it bother you to be alone or do you value solitude?

I enjoy being alone,I recharge and get centered when alone.I can be social but too much time spent with other's can be very tiring to me. There was a time in my life when I had to interact with other's but now I can choose,I value solitude. I'm not anti-social,I enjoy the company of other's but I must have time alone. I learned very early in life to enjoy my time alone without feeling lonely.

I enjoy my solitude whenever I have some!   I of course enjoy my husband and children and grandchildren but when I am alone is when I truely relax!!

I am getting used to being alone, since this is my new chapter in life. I am adjusting and enjoying it.

I'm half and half.  I do not mind being alone at all, but I also enjoy being around others (most if the time).

I enjoy time alone.  That being said, I hope alone time never becomes the norm for me.

Being alone is like being in a sanctuary.  I just love it.  I think I always have.  Thanks, @minkbunny , for starting this thread.

 

All of a sudden I feel like getting us all together for lunch!  Is that odd?

 

Edited to add:  I take it back.  It's not odd.  I'd love to spend lunchtime with you all, but then I'm going home to rest and recharge and be alone again!!

Re: Does it bother you to be alone or do you value solitude?

I love my alone time. My car is where I get a chance to be alone.  I let it go ... music, bad words, silly stuff.  It's my time and I can do as I please.  When I was alone, I did the same, plus I had time to read, craft, etc.  Alone can be good when you know how to use it.  Will I want to be alone again?  No, but we make it work.  I want to make it work and pray I do.

Not odd at all.  I would love to get together with everybody on this board and I am sure we would all find common ground.

 

You are welcome,  I thought I would try to start a few threads today as I go back to work tomorrow and will probably only be able to read.

 

Thanks to you for your reply. Heart
