How do you enjoy being alone?

[khappy365]

I have always struggled with doing things by myself because it’s always more enjoyable for me to do things with other people. Often times even with others I find my mind wandering.

Pre COVID years ago, and my mom was alive and we were living together, there were many times when I went out by myself to some kind of gathering. This is Shnookie and as a woman I think my mom was worried about my safety and I assured her that I would park in a safe place which I always did. Then she asked me if I was going to be lonely going out by myself. I told her that I wanted to go to this event i.e. I belonged to a museum and would enjoy the event. Usually I enjoyed myself, chatted with some people looked at the art etc. Sometimes I was a little bored but not scared. Once went to a singles event and started chatting with an attractive man, and after a little while, he excused himself he told me that he was going over to speak to a group of his friends. Personally, in one way I thought it was rude, because he could have invited me to come with him to meet his friends but I thought after this Whatever !! I'm standing by myself and realized after about 10 minutes that I did not know if he was going to come back. So I walked around the room and started chatting with another nice man. Lo and behold the first guy returns after some time and asks me why I didn't wait for him ?? I said to him in a pleasant manner that I wasn't planning on waiting for him forever and chose to socialize with other people. He was a little pissed off and walked off. I was also in a safe environment where he really couldn't get too upset. Never the less I enjoyed myself and went home later on. Being home now with COVID listen to music U enjoy I play all kinds of music off You tube on my phone, take walks pick up a hobby on the Internet like learning a new language, giving U a big hug. I'm here for U S

Hi there! I agree, it’s tough being alone sometimes. Sometimes I absolutely love the quiet and freedom of doing what I want, but other times i get absolutely stir crazy and depressed. It often seems like all I can focus on is the want or desire to do things with others...that these mundane tasks Im doing alone have no purpose or meaning, or value.

I’m finding it really hard lately to keep closeness with my friends, because I’m actually questioning how good of friends they are. I have a few close friends and a bunch of acquaintances, but I often feel misunderstood, judged, or just don’t feel like opening up to them. Those feelings make you feel even more alone. I also feel lately that people are distant from others and people don’t give you 100% of their time, even when they are right in front of you. I have such a huge heart, and I feel like lately it just gets stomped on, and then I’m always left alone with my thoughts and my tears.

I do enjoy my me time, but lately it’s just been far more me time than I want.

I like to paint, watch movies, go for walks, watch the sunset, do a puzzle, or write...but like you said, isnt all that much more fun with another person???

I can relate. I am a people person, but I do enjoy spending some alone time also. I think alone time is a necessary to get to know ourselves better. We can also do what we want without having to please others.
