Its Best To Be Alone

I know there are people who can't be alone and would live under the worst possible conditions just so they won't be alone. I could never understand it.

I remember when I was a small kid, only 5 years old, I used to go out and play with my friends in front of my house, they were 4 and 3 years old. I loved it, I waited everyday to go out and visit them. The one who was 4 years old is a lot like me and we can just hang out and talk for hours. When I see people around me, most of them are very different than me. When I was at school and junior high and in high school, the differences made me to be quiet and not to try to get involved with what others talked about, I didn't want to be laughed at. Being alone was the best option for me. I sometimes regret I didn't find the way to get more involved with my class, to feel free to be who I was, to be myself and to understand the side of the others...It required some understanding of psychology. I know I could practice soccer and basketball but, I didn't like it too much. I could play with the others, listen to their conversations and learn what drives them...

It is better to be alone for temporary phase, if you talk about work place. However, I am of the opinion that you need to have interaction with others to get more exposure. All are not like us, some may even offend or criticize us but this should not deter us from interacting with more and more people, subject to availability of time and exigencies of our own work.

yes its better to be alone than with others who do not l ike you but I has no alternative but to come here to this tiresome retirement center. or live i n shelters for the homeless two weeks t;hen o n the street the street twoweeks, long story my son lost his job just as I ha d retired so only one paycheck and we got behind on the rent and were evicted. too painful to tell all the long story.

I do enjoy being able to be alone some of the time, but sometimes I do enjoy being able to spend time with others.

I live alone because of a divorce. I don't really like being alone, but on the other hand, I can come and go as i please without anyone telling me I can't do this or that. I wish I were still married, but I don't think I will ever get married again. i have been alone for 8 years so I have learned to accept it.

Some people are not comfortable being alone and that is too bad. As you say, it is better to be alone than with someone who is bad company.

It's fun to be with friends but there are times I prefer to be alone so I could think and do things that need concentration.

Being alone is easier nowadays as there is so much one can do on one's own - being on the Net is one of those activities.

Bad company is stressful. Being alone allows us to think but we shouldn't be alone all the times. Having a real good friend is sufficient enough.

It's something that like your privacy which is hard to do anyways every body deserves their privacy.

very true indeed. we have the freewill to choose friends and of course we want to have good friends but of course there are times that everything is not in their proper places but good friends usually chooses to stay.

No man is an Island.

No. It's much a lot better when you have your friends with you.

Yes, to be alone, sometime is the best way to make us avoid some hurt cases because have bad friends, a bad boyfriend or bad relatives. To be alone often make us have much time to know about ourselves.

I was 'alone' for 16 years and enjoyed it. You have to like yourself to spend time with yourself.
