Do you enjoy "alone" time?

I love my alone time. My bf understands that there are times that I just need to be with myself and I actually call it hibernation. During my hibernation, I stay at my room, with food, and then I would read, or watch a movie, or blog, then sleep, and then do the same things again.

Hi. Great question. Yes, I love alone time. I also love spending quality time with my dear boyfriend. We do spend a great deal of time together especially since I work with him in his business as well as spending fun time together. However, I intentionally schedule down time or alone time for myself. It's great. No phone, no people, no attitudes. You get the drift. A couple of months ago I was telling a friend of mine that I have a very full schedule. Then I immediately clarified myself by letting her know that a good part of that schedule was my own personal down time. We all need to refuel and I think this is the best way to do that. Enjoy your you time.

Hi lacieice. I live alone...all the time and it is so amazingly indescribably wonderful! No more sharing the bed, cleaning the toilet and shower after someone else has used it. No more huge bills because someone is not energy conscious and is wasteful. Being able to do what you want any time of the day or night is so great. Having the computer, laptop, bathroom all to myself is just fabulous. I even have a friend who mows my lawn, cuts wood for my fire and cuts my toenails. He also gives my bad shoulder a rub when he is here. I do miss going out for the day on a picnic or just a sightseeing drive, I know I don't need company for that but it's not the same and not as good to do stuff like that on your own

Yes, I enjoy time alone and spend quite a part of the day alone as I work from home. The only contact I get with people is if I go up to the stores to get something I need or if I get a phone call from somebody. Each evening though, I spend with my wife unless she goes over to visit her mother, but soon her mother will be moving to live closer to us, so that those weekends alone will stop also. _Derek

I used to love alone time when I was married. But now I am single again and I hate alone time. I have too much of it on my hands, that is why I don't like it. Right now I am alone again. The really bad part for me is I live in a city that is 1400KM away from my family and friends. I only have my daughter here who is 28 years old and out a lot. We live together but she goes out a lot and she is out right now that is why I am on mylot right now. Something to do and almost like talking to someone so I don't feel so alone. I really need to make some new friends. I am self employed so it is really hard to meet people. I have tried making friends by joining a dating site but that isn't working too good for me either. I joined a church but everyone is either really young or really old, not too many people my age so that isn't working either. So I tried taking dancing lessons and I met a few that way but where I was going for the lessons was just too far to drive every Monday evening. It was at a bar and it started at 6 to 9 and I wouldn't make it there till after 8 because of work so that didn't work out for me either. So back to what your question is, No I don't like alone time because I get too much of it.

i rarely get alone time unless it is late at night and everyone is asleep. i have 2 little kids and a husband and i take care of my grandmother a lot so ill take the peace and quiet ne day. it is not very often that i am actually alone tho because technically they are still here and sometimes they wake up throughout the night. when i do get it trust me it is the best thing i could ever have!! everyone needs just a little bit of time to themselves or that will drive then nuts lol

I like to every moments alone every now and then, I think it's important that we can have at least some time to ourselves especially when we're busy prior to having the alone time. I wouldn't say I like to do it more than I currently do, as I miss being around my family and if I can't be around them I tend to feel frustrated and usually only work can help take my mind of it. I probably have one day a week where I have like a couple of hours to myself.

Yes, I really enjoy being alone. It is nice to sit back with a glass of tea and a book, or my laptop, and just getting away from everything, especially after a long day at work.

I most definitely enjoy my alone time and space. I don't really get that much alone time, but when I do, I'll make the most out of it. Hmmmm, even when working, there tend to be people around and all that..but they are not disturbing so that's pretty alright. Alone time is important in anyone's life and there should be a time set aside to do important things for oneself. I feel rejuvenated each time after giving myself time to catch up on things that need to be done..

Hello I am retired now, my younger son and his wife and baby daughter are with me always, my elder son lives far with his family and kids at his work place, my wife is now there with them for a month.. Quite naturally i feel so lonely, ofcourse i try to reduce this feeling of aloneness by keeping engaged in research work, some times i help my daughter in law in kitchen.. Thanks for sharing. Welcome always. Cheers. Professor

I miss "alone time" as I never seem to have it nowadays. But I do understand that being married with three kids(and all are boys), could be demanding. I rarely have any time for myself. if I did have an alone time, I'd spend it in peaceful bliss.

hi lacieice!! i love it too!! being alone in the house which is so quiet and you could do anything you want. especially if you want to clean the house. it is hard to clean it when everybody is around. and if you want to sleep all day or finish a book. you could do it to because no one will disturb you. happy day to all

definitely i can manage myself being left alone, i spend this in doing certain things which i've enjoyed like watching a series, went to a cafe or playing basketball in our backyard.

I spent a lot of times alone and loved it! Calming and relaxing...

I love to be alone. Years back when I was on a business trip to Bangkok I stayed in 5-star hotel. During weekends I did not go for sight-seeing. Instead I stayed in my room and enjoyed the movies in the television. Just imagine I cooped up all alone in my hotel room for two days. Yet time passed by swiftly.

Hi lacieice, I love my friend and family very much. I love to socialize and have crazy fun. Life is so very short, so I do my best to drink it all in. My job is a very busy and an active one. I work with children five days a week, so I am always looking for a way to cope with all the busyness. My "alone time" is the most precious time to me. It gives me serenity and my heart and soul merge in to the depth of unconscious thinking. Sometimes I just turn everything off that make noise that would interrupt my inner and out peace of mind. Our society has such a chaotic flow to our daily lives to the point where we are just running on pure adrenaline, and we rarely find some "alone time." which maybe a live saver further on down the road. Enjoy your peace. I'm sure it is well desired.

I like alone time but don't get much with a 3 year old daughter. My alone time is after she goes to bed as I hate for her to be away from me. Yeah I know I am overprotective and I am OK with it. I don't get a lot of alone time when husband is home, sometimes he hids in the office and plays on the computer but he usually comes down and disturbs me from time to time and upsets my quiet. When he has quiet time at home with just him it is anything but quiet he always has music going and sometimes the TV on top of that. When I have quiet time I like just that quiet time, no noise, don't talk to me just let me have my piece and quiet. I have a home daycare too so hardly ever quiet at my house except for nap time. Love nap time! Time for a short break to do things like this.

yes i like alone time.i work at other city where is far from my hometown.so manytime i am alone in this city.But i have much time to do thing what i want at home.sometime my friends call me to meet and have lunch toghter.sometime i want to have one beside me ,we can do manything ,but now like alone time.haha i think u did not have many alone time ,so u like. when r alway alone u will not like like now.
