Do you enjoy it? I have always been kind of a loner. I really dont mind being alone because it makes me feel more free in a way. Its not that i dont like hanging out with other people or dont get along with others it just feels not weird for me and i dont mind it. I have talked with people that hate it though.

What do you think?

I would say I have to agree with you I have also always been alone so being with people isn't something i'm accustom to but, at the same time I can say I know that I prefer it over being with someone I "love" since I have never loved anyone lol

While I do enjoy my alone time myself. Back in the days, I thought that I'd be fine being all by myself...

Things changed last summer. Some friends invited me to go biking with them... I took the offer...

Now, I have to say, i really enjoy being in the company of others.

Personally, i enjoy being alone . Althogh hanging outside with friends is fun, but it's not as much fun as watching anime alone,,

My alone time is when I watch anime or play a single player game. The only time I can't stand being alone is when I'm not at home and at a place where there is absolutely nothing to do and no internet.
Does it count as being alone if you're by yourself but playing with friends online?

Does that include online friends, or just people in person?

I've only ever really had two friends IRL. When they moved on to university and college in different cities, causing them to lose contact with me, I got incredibly depressed and mostly slept all day. So needless to say, I can't stand being on my own for too long. But I guess over time I've gotten more used to it, but I definitely don't enjoy it. I at least need friends to talk to online.

Night is a lot better on your own (in person) I think, really quiet and calm feeling. Really all depends on the mood I'm in.
Besides night, I need to have people I'm close to around me.

I enjoy being alone as well. That's why I stay up to 3 am in the morning quite often. Not anti-social or anything so morning/afternoon is my do stuff/socialize mode and night is my alone time. It just feels good to be alone sometimes, sitting back and relaxing with no stress or care in the world until the next day.

I can't say that I enjoy it, it's just very peaceful to be alone.

It's not weird at all. Lots of people like spending some time alone (me included), just don't try to define yourself by it. You know those life crisis, like the early 20's one, when people say they didn't know themselves and shit. They chose to see themselves around how others saw them saying: "that's how I am, you gotta problem with that!?" while forcing themselves.

Don't worry about what they think of you if they are being silly and not worried. Don't be afraid to be yourself and you won't worry about those kinda things. Instead, you'll find something else to worry about lol.

I don't mean to lecture or something. A few years ago I'd given myself a "get outta here!. Now I think everybody needs some positive encouragement.

I think it's perfectly fine to enjoy some alone time. I tend to get stuck into extended periods of isolation and it can be pretty hard to pull myself out of it. And I really hate myself for that.
Someone believe I hv Fantasy Prone Personality, in short, FPP.
So I decided to live up to it, Yay!

I hate it, probably more than anything, I think it's largely because I'm a twin, I've always been with someone for the vast majority of my life, like sharing a room with my sister till I was like 15 for example.

I think that's generally why I'm a very social person and I much prefer being around people than not.

I'm more comfortable with someone there then without, even if I don't know that person too well (a bit different if it's a complete stranger obviously).

Be open towards people at school/college/work/whatever, show some initiative and it will come naturally o.o What's the point of friendship if it's all one sided?

That aside, I like being alone. I just tend towards depression if I don't hang around my mateys every once in a while xD

Soccer is the perfect way to start a conversation, wherever you are xD

"Hey how are you?" "Fine, you?" "Yeah, same.." *awkward silence* "Did you see last weekend's matches? " "OH YEAH THEIR NUMBER 10 WAS SO GOOD" "OMG INDEED, I LIKE YOU BRO, LET'S BE FRIENDS."

I always prefer being alone rather than the company of others... Otherwise, I cannot completely relax, it's most comfortable for me this way. Other than that, in the recent years I've come to dislike people more and more (be it on the internet or not) and I'm not a bit social, which makes me like time spent alone all the more.
And btw, alone doesn't necessarily imply someone is lonely and vice versa :O

I'm leaning on introvert, but I still enjoy social stuff. Laughing with others is probably the ultimate feel good for me.

This is exactly why I'm a night owl most of the time. If I'm at home during the day my housemates always talk to me, haha. Which is fine, but I need some alone time as well.

I think I enjoy my own company a bit too much, at times. At least, people seem to be bothered by it. It's not that I purposely try to isolate myself, I'm just doing very well on my own, and I can have a great day alone with something to drink and a good book and/or music. (That being said, I do enjoy spending time together with my family and friends as well. I just sort of "forget" to give them attention sometimes, because I enjoy being by myself so much.)

I have adjusted so well to being on my own, that I suppose I'm having a harder time adjusting to other people. I guess that's what's bothering them, although I'm not really doing that on purpose.

I'm alone, but not lonely. Something like that.

Yeah, been through these phases as well. Some time enjoying being alone, sometimes enjoying more being with your friends. Feels like I've gone through one and another phase quite alot those past years lol. It's like a mood :D
