Which type are you: dependent or independent? Can you go out and enjoy activities all on your own or can you only enjoy activities if someone is always with you? I think I tend to be the lonely type but I still enjoy times alone too.

Yes, it feels more secure sometimes when people are around. I get afraid too, when I'm outside alone. Thanks for your comment.

Ever since college, i had enjoyed living alone. I hang out well with a group but also likes a time alone more often than not. I can stay at home the whole day gardening, watching, of not reading novels. It actually depends on your mood. Its a choice to be alone and happy or alone and lonely.

I agree, it's a mental state, and you can find a lot to do when you are alone.

I prefer to be with other people. I firmly believe in safety in numbers. If you go out on your own it's more likely that trouble will happen.

I am a very busy person so I am very happy when I can spent some time alone in front of the computer writing my thoughts. I don't worry about loneliness anymore, as it doesn't bother me anymore. I enjoy being with people and also enjoy my solitude. I can now do things with people or just go for a walk or to a park alone. I'm happy in both worlds.

I'm fiercely independent. Even as I child, I wanted to play alone. I can eat at restaurants or watch movies all by myself. But I do feel lonely sometimes, and I am longing to be with someone. I can enjoy being all by myself, but I guess I'm a normal human being who also needs to be with people from time to time.

I am the alone type. I have to be. If I don't have my "me" time forget it! This is why I have learnt that I don't need another person in my life! I have no roommate,no boyfriend,no husband. I don't do alot on my own when I am alone. In someways I'm a loner and that is fine with me! I probaly missing out on things but it is that way! It'd also help if I had money to go and do thiings,too!

Hi dear, To be frank, I like the lonlness a lot. I enjoy when I am alone. Purposively I used to ignore any ones company and try to alond. Only for that I have got hatred from others also. Many of my frieds have complained about this. They used to tell that he want to be along and don't distrurb. It is a blessing for me. But I enjoy the friendship company and family togetherness also. But being alon and my own world has specaial feelings. I used to write a lot. When I am along, I used to think a lot of things and enjoy the singleness. Even now, if I am at office, home, it trains, any where, if I am alon, I would enjoy myself with myown world. Regards, Thank-s

That's great that you can enjoy yourself with out help from others. A lot of the time people can be very disturbing, I agree too.

Well, I think everyone is selfish to a point... it's whether or not you're honest about it. Thanks for being honest!

i think i use to share both. i like to be the alone type when i get to be so stressed and depressed. i usually go to far place where no one could possibly know who i am. i stay on a resort or rent a room and stay there for a night or two and just have quiet time. I spend my time alone thinking and meditating. i see myself lonely and find a need for company when i can't find the answers after my time alone. :)
