Can you do things alone?

Hahaha... I'm figuring you are someone who hasn't had time for herself anymore. I guess you need a break from your routine in order to recharge. Try to get an hour or two away for yourself. Sometimes, someone got to take charge for a few moments for you to remain sane. Good luck to you. And by the way, ask someone to watch your kids for a few hours. I think you got to have time for yourself or maybe a quiet time with husband as well. Take it easy, life is good.

Yeah, I get how you feel. When you are surrounded by people all the time (in this case your kids), you tend to miss them or get that sense of longing whenever you are forced to be apart from them. And yeah, being alone is also a good time for you to recharge your batteries for another batch of arguments with them. It's nice that you like spending time with your kids. Good Luck to you and thank you very much for posting. :)

Keep it cool dude. :) Nobody said that not wanting to do things alone is twisted. To each his/her own. There are preferences in life, and maybe some people prefer to have another's company. Life for me, I can eat alone but I'd prefer to be in a group or with someone. Maybe you should try doing things with a group or with someone, maybe you'll see a little difference. Unless of course, you are surrounded with lame people and would rather do things on your own. Just my Cents.

yeah keep it cool dude, this is just a discussion.

I take road trips a lot, or I used to before my car started getting really old and gas prices really high. I go to fairs and other events, even theme parks by myself. I do just about everything by myself that can also be done with another person if I wanted to.

hi, what else do you do by yourself that's unique? Thanks for the reply. =)

Oh you do nice things. Yeah I'm sad that prices of gases are really high these days. I wish they could do something about it. I'm also stuck as of the moment not having any out-of-town vacations due to the prices of gas.

Stay at home mom =)

What is a SAHM? Yeah I agree that it's nice to be alone once in a while. It helps me to stop and think about me for once and not about other people. As I said earlier, there are things we can do alone but there are also those things that would be a little more fun with someone around. Thanks for the reply.

Oh.. that's it. :) I've grown a word older today. On second thoughts, an Acronym older. Thanks

Ya, I understand there are people who does those above alone, and I am not saying they cannot do it. What I have shared is why I do not do those alone. It does not represent anyone or provide a generalisation. It is my own view only. I just cannot get out of those views and be sporting about it. LOL.

Oh *LOL* I know how you feel. I've felt the same too. Thanks for the thoughts friend. You take care and hope we both don't need to go through all those things alone. =)

Yeah there's flexibility and promptness if you do things on your own. But I'd disagree about eating alone as something pathetic. It's not at all, every person needs to eat, and whether you are alone or not should not really matter. Most are were forced to eat alone due to circumstance. I hope you wouldn't blame him/her for being alone at a restaurant. About the beach, I have also not done it. But I have friends who go to parks or beaches alone to think or just enjoy nature. As for the dancing, hehe it may be true that most need a partner to dance, but not my grandmother, she can dance alone. Though she doesn't go to discos alone.

Oh I know how you feel about shopping. Me too, whenever I am alone shopping, I tend to do things much much faster. That's why I like shopping alone, since I don't spend too much time talking and hearing our suggestions. There are just times when things are alot easier when you are alone. *LOL* As for eating, same here friend. Until now, I still dread eating alone. But I have tried quite a few times. Well, it wasn't for experiment's sake or experience. I was forced into doing so.

You should try dancing alone to complete the 'alone' experience. *LOL* Drop me a message or two when you tried it. Best of luck. =)

Oh I'd like to see you drunk and dancing. It may not be a whole lot fun for you but it would certainly be great for others to see you do it. *LOL* Yeah, it's a matter of the WANT more than the NEED to. Thanks for the comment. Get a person to video you when you're drunk and dancing. I'll wait for that video. Happy posting.

Really, you prefer eating at a restaurant alone? That's the first for me. What other times do you want to be with company?

Well, I can't I wouldn't blame you. Many of us, including yours truly, wouldn't want to try going to the cinema alone nor eating and drinking alone while everyone surrounding you is with their families or with someone. I wonder, what if there's a restaurant or a food place where those who are alone is welcome. I mean, a joint that is only for those without anyone with them to eat. hahah that would be cool. =)

I understand how you feel. If there's some people you can share your life with, why not? :) thanks for your reply. and I'm glad you always like being with your family. Truly cherish people who are family-oriented.

Hi! Thanks for posting in my topics. About watching a movie alone in theater and drinking, Why don't u try it one of these days and comment to us how it felt like? I know of some people who like drinking alone. These were the types in the movies *LOL* where they try to think or analyze their situation *LOL* Can anyone drink alone??

As much as we want to. There are times when we can't help but do things alone. You should try to reflect on that. What if, by whatever reason, no one could accompany you in doing something like sample eating. Would you rather not eat for that day? You should try to do things alone for once, maybe, just maybe, your friends are tired of having you all the time. *LOL* I hope not!

Oh sorry if my question breaks your heart. But you know what, it's brave for someone to go through all these things by himself or herself. You should be proud of yourself for not closing life's doors just because there's no one there for now. Anyways, don't worry, sooner or later someone will come and gladly share the moments with you. For now, keep on doing what you are doing, and smile a bit more, maybe she's doing the same (being alone) like you are now. Good Luck. Thank you for posting.

Nice that even though you already have a family, you still get to do things on your own. There's a great satisfaction I guess by doing something you like without someone complaining about them. As for the eating alone, that's exactly how I feel, I feel as if everyone else is looking at me. Well, I guess really, it's something that needs to getting used to. =)

Yeah, friends are not always reliable and you may not wante them along for everything. *LOL* For one thing, you don't want them with you when buying sexy stuff for your partner. *LOL* For another, you don't want them around if you are in a hurry to buy something. Sometimes second opinion takes such a long time thus wasting valuable time. *LOL*

Have you tried it yet? Me, I haven't and yeah I fear doing it too. Maybe it's the lack of trying that makes me feel afraid of actually doing it. I have friends who can really go to movies on their own, as seen by the many people who posted here, it isn't that bad once you have adjusted to it. Hmm... one of these days I'm going to try it. But until then, I'd try to motivate myself that I'm not a famous movie star, and people don't stare at me when I'm alone. *LOL*!
