have u tried even once to be alone and just do the things you like?

A problem I suffer is the inability to handle stress.I will work thru the stress and once over will make a trip into the local woods with a book,a chair,a diet drink and just relax with no disturbances.On warm,sunny days(which have not been very common so far this year)instead of a beach I go where there is no ceowd and unwind.The only noise is from a bird flying bye or a dragonfly checking me out.This is how I try to keep my fragile hold onto my diminishing sense of reality.Words to live by----normal people scare me.So welcome to MyLot,share with us,join in on the discussions and basically have fun here!

Yes, right before I met my husband my sister and I roomed together and I had my own room and I fixed it up just how I liked it. I would go to work and come home and I did my own thing and no one bothered me. My room looked awesome and it had a couch in it and everything. I miss my room :-( I wish I had traveled more of course but I never really had the money for all that but still, it was nice to be able to do what I wanted, when I wanted to do it, with no one to answer to. I miss those days but they also got very lonely as well at times...

I do everything alone and I really enjoy it. You can do what you want to do whenever you want to and you don't have to worry about the other person not feeling well or getting tired. Or, you don't have to worry about being tired and not wanting to do things the other person wants to do. I don't really see the big deal about doing things alone and don't know what a lot of people are afraid of. Sure, it's fun to do things with other people, but not all the time. I don't miss out on anything because I am alone.

yes, i am basically a loner. i talk with people, i feel comfortable with my friends but most of the time, i am just by myself and i enjoy the luxury of just being able to relax and do basically nothing! :D hehe

Yes I have and I'd say it is an absolute necessity for me.You really should try it. Why have you never done so?

Hie Saludes, you should! It's great and you will feel reborn again and look at things differently like in a way, you are more alert and appreciative. Have fun and do what you like once awhile because no one else will deserve more than you but yourself. I use to just go out on my own to places alone and enjoy the moments being alone or sometimes I just shut myself out from the world.....sleep the whole day and wake up just to eat...lol Hope you will find the moments to yourself soon. Cheers,

After my last divorce I lived on my own for over a year. It was nice, being able to come and go as I pleased, didn't have to answer the phone if I didn't want too. It gave me the time to re-new myself, and get on track with my life. I realize this is not the alone time you are talking about. I also took weekends for myself when I was married. I would get a hotel room, visit another city, and just chill. I could just relax and it did help when I returned home after one of these weekends. I was re-energized, and ready to deal with kids, husband, and just everyday stuff.

I have done this a lot of times already. From time to time, I do this just to relieve myself of stress. For people who are really very busy, I believe that they deserve something like this. I hope that more people realize that they should also give themselves some time to relax and do things that they love best. I hope that you will be able to do it as well.

I need my 'me' time every day. Parts of the day I just want to be left alone. I don't like the feeling of having others crowd me. And I have this feeling a lot. Plus I get more done when I'm alone. And I feel more relaxed because I'm away from the stresss that people so often cause.

Yes, i did a few times, mostly when i am alone at home ( my parents go working and my brother was away with his own business) and it is indeed relaxing, but try not to do it for an extended period of time, because you may end up feeling lonely.

Yes it would be nice to be alone and do the things that you love. After my kid came along i never get a chance to enjoy by myself. But i dont regret it one tiny bit. I AM enjoying the moments i spend with him and it makes me happy to be a mom.

I have done it when I was in A far away province. The experience has freedom but its not that enjoyable. I prefer having company.
