Being Alone

Are you afraid of being alone? I feel that I am always alone. I live alone and I like the way it is. I like it when I can only hear my music and myself. When I was still in Metro Manila I didn't mind what people say about me. I am the only one who lives in my apartment and I am very far from my family. My friends always told me that I should be with someone so that if an emergency happens there is someone who can take care of me. I didn't mind what they told me since I always taught that I know how to handle myself. Not until that I got sick. It's true that it's nice to be alone but I hate it when I'm sick because I am the only only one's who's gonna take care of myself. I hate the fact that I am sick and I can think of my family. Good thing that right now I am just 1hr and 30mins away from our house. I still live alone in an apartment. I'm happy the way things are.

I think that I do sometimes get afraid of being alone, but you have to remember that it is very unlikely that you're ever going to be completely on your own. Just because you live on your own doesn't mean that there is nobody there for you, or that they won't continue to be there for you if you should ever need them for some reason. I think that you should be nice to everybody in your life because you just never know when you're going to need their shoulder to cry on if something bad should happen to you.

Hello there! I understand but I am nicest man in the world. I don't have any problems if I am with someone. If I need help I have a lot of neighbors here in my dad is just a call away. It's just sometimes that you want to find your solitude. I have a lot of friends and they are just a text away. Let's just say that I am independent in every way and I was born this way!

I'm married and love being around my wife, but I have never had a problem with being alone. I am one of the few people that can watch a movie by myself and enjoy it just as much. I don't feel too self-conscious to laugh out loud. I think it's nice to be comfortable with yourself. It's good not to have to be with someone to feel good. I'm good by myself, but fine around loved ones too. There's a difference between being alone and being lonely. I think most people are more social than me though so sometimes I visit because I know they want me to.

Hello there! We are like the same in some ways. I often go to the movie house alone and I don't care what people say if I laugh out loud. I can do whatever I want. If it's a comedy then I really laugh. If it's a scary movie then I'll scream sometimes. Hahaha... Keep on posting!

I love being alone, I love my own company, no one to argue with, no one to share things with, no one to consider, no one to take your time up, no one to annoy you, no one to nag you, pester you and no one to give you any problems! To me that is bliss. I love living alone, I am not a people person. When I am sick I just want to be left alone and not fussed over. I am very independent, and hate having to rely on anyone! I love being single, I would't have it any other way, life is so much more relaxing, peaceful and bliss when you are alone. Relationships spell entrapment to me and the loss of freedom, I don't do compromise! Being alone is bliss, totally bliss.!

Hello there! I like your post! You are so proud of the things you have become. I think I'm still on the process of doing that. I may be alone but I still this something in my heart who longs for someone to be with me. With or without someone I can live my life to the fullest and I think I'll be happy with the current things that I do. Keep on posting!

Oh good for you fsuma. At least, anything might happen unexpectedly, you're near to your family now to get help and assistance. When I'm single working far from my parents, I'd rather be alone in my rented apartment. Not until that my sister transfered too in my brand area (we're in the same company). Then, when she got married and leave me alone again. A friend of mine asked me if she can live with me knowing that my sister is out with me,... I gave her a chance. Then after a year, my housemate got married... then I followed! I got married too. Now, I don't want to be alone. I have my own raised family to look up to. Like you, I'm happy too the way thing are for me now! Cheers friend!

Hi Lhenni! It was not a good start. Of course, I also had emo moments when I'm alone. Sometimes I prefer to be alone than to be with a lot of people. I want a silent place. I want my own serenity. I am not close to my father. He was not there when I grow up but he is a good provider but I still want to live in a different place.

I totally understand the need to be alone. When I am alone there are less distractions and my thoughts are untampered with. When you are around other people they effect you either good or bad. Just last night I listened to music in my room at I was able to sleep soundly. I am married, but I believe you need your space sometimes. You being a hour away from family shouldn't be to far distance to reach out. When you get sick just make sure you have plenty of tea and hot soup stocked. You'll be fine!

Hello there! Thank you so much for you advice. Don't you worry my friend I will try not to be sick. Sometimes, it helps me to think a lot when I am alone. I can find my own serenity. I want space from everything. I just don't know if I have a problem but sometimes I really prefer to be alone. Keep on posting! Merry Christmas!

Dear fsuma86...many think that only single people can feel and live lonely. But that is not true. Married people, although married can also feel and live lonely. This happens when the husbands or wives or grown up children don't have anything in common to talk about or they have to part because of work in a foreign country. Many also think that having many siblings will not make one live lonely. The same holds true here. I know of a family who have eight siblings but each sibling would rather be on his/her own place or rooms (and not bother with each other) because they just cannot work or get on together. I think the most important thing when you are living alone is to leave or pass your contact number to your family members and friends and pray that God will alert someone if something happens to you. Being quiet and lonely is not a problem. The REAL problem is ALWAYS living a 'noisy' and 'party-lifestyles'.

Hello there! That's correct. Being alone is not a matter of you don't want to be with your family. I think you just want to find your own self and peace. I also knew a family like that. Even though, they have different likes and dislikes they are still nice to look as a family. They always go to church every Sunday! Keep on posting!
