I enjoy solitude when I want it, but otherwise I'd prefer to be around people.

 

[matt360]

I'm very social in short bursts. I really like hanging out with my friends, but for me to spend the whole day with them gets tiring. I prefer just meeting up for drinks and shooting the shit for a couple hours. My wife is different though. I like spending the whole day with her when we have holidays that match up. But I also love my alone time. I'm probably very normal.

 

[Scrow]

sometimes i like to be left alone with my own thoughts

sometimes i like to be with other people to have my thoughts challenged

most of the time i prefer to be around with other people cause it's more interesting and i usually learn new things

 

[Loki]

I definitely need my personal time. Always have, and likely always will. I read, reflect, relax, recharge, ruminate, analyze, and ponder all sorts of things big and small. This time is vital to my existence. When I'm deprived of it for an extended period of time due to other obligations I feel enervated.

I definitely have a higher need for personal time (i.e., being alone) than 90+% of people. I honestly don't mind being in a room or laying on my bed just thinking about stuff for a few hours. In many cases I prefer it to company depending on my mood and my mental needs at the moment, though I am a social person. I also just need time to read, learn, grow, and reflect on things. It's essential.

 

[gatti-man]

Being alone is really subjective these days. With facebook, friends lists/xbl/psn/steam, and cell phones even when im by myself I rarely feel alone. I like having a few close friends and a gf. Any more than that and my life tends to lose focus. Id rather have fewer deeper relationships than a bunch of buds I drink beer with.

 

[ShdwDrake]

Hells yeah. I like being around people every once and a while and those are the times I go out... Other than that it's just me, myself, and I.

 

[RyanardoDaVinci]

I'm completely indifferent to both.

 

[Liquid_015]

I am kind of weird. Most of the time I am alone, but deep inside I actually want to hang out with friends and just simply go to places. However, that never ever happens to me. sigh.

 

[Live Free or Die]

It's the only way to go.

 

[Stellares]

I like to be alone, just not forever.

 

[Kitsunebaby]

I actually enjoy being alone the majority of the time. I enjoy hanging out with friends but it's not really all that relaxing, since we're usually out doing something. I want to still have days where I can just sit back and relax with nobody expecting me to do anything. Unfortunately, with both work and school I'm forced to be around people I don't really like and both my social and alone time are being cut into.

 

[Delio]

Sometimes i like being alone other times i want a small group of like minded people around me. I hate large crowds though and avoid them like the plague but as long as i have my bf i'm not alone heh.

 

[terrdactycalsrock]

I crave alone time

 

[teruterubozu]

I don't mind people, I just don't like them when they're around.

 

[Bisnic]

I've been "alone" all my life. I guess i don't mind it. Although i wish i had a girlfriend sometimes...but i never bother to actually do something else than wishing. It's just too much effort for me to get out of my house and find that special girl(i'm not a very social guy, shy with strangers, so that doesn't help at all) when i dont particularly hate my current life. Sure, i could use those dating websites, but something tells me those things aren't worth it. Bah.

 

[serotonina]

I love hanging out with friends, socializing and knowing new people.

New people = new ideas, experience, way to look at life, stories, direct confrontantion. It really makes you grow.

It's all about sharing, people can be annoying yes, but you can be annoying to them too. So it's down to giving the right amount of fu*k to whatever is getting into your way.

I also love spending time alone, doing the stuff I like that can't really be shared with others (see reading, writing etc).

 

[Typhoon_Ex]

It depends on what you are doing while alone and who you are with when not.

 

[V_Arnold]

I had year-long "forever alone" sessions.
But in reality, I am so social that the more I isolated myself, the more it hurt.

Luckily, all of my fantastic friend were waiting for me to "reborn" and get back in track again - and now I could not be more social unless I was going out every night - that is something I do not have the money to do so, besides, we are all grownups with our own families, relationships and hobbies, so it all balances out.

We are in this awesome game together, everyone. We are here to experience loneliness just so we want to be together with others. We are never really alone. Never.

 

[Barberetti]

Yes. I like socializing now and again, but for the most part I'd sooner not have people around me. I hate going out alone though. Friends or bust.

Uplifting man. Yeah im sometimes alone but im not a fan of it, dont need to be with someone all the time but do love company.

 

[Fritz]

These days it's a fucking virtue to be able to be alone. I like being alone but it probably takes only 10% of my week.

 

[FairyD]

I love being alone, but to a certain extent.
