Do you Need Alone Time

Tweet

I love to be alone sometimes and feel I never get enough alone time. Most people I know hate having free time on their hands, but I for one would love to have some free time. I am not sure why people are afraid to be alone? I think it would be fun to have some time alone just to sit quietly at home alone, without anyone home to talk or make noise. How about a nice walk alone where you can ponder a situation that is happening in your life, without the chatter of another person? Someone recently told me that she does not do well with too much free time on her hands. She said I always go to work early, and leave late so that I do not have to be alone. Why not find a hobby she enjoys working on that in her free time. I do not understand not wanting or needing any alone time. I love to be alone and find I get tired of having to try to think of things to talk about with someone. I get sick of having to watch what I say or think before speaking, so much rather spend time alone. I hate being forced to show interest in a conversation when I truly have none. I hate feeling like I have to monitor everything before I speak it, to keep arguments down. It just frustrates me. Why do you feel the lady has to be at work to avoid having alone time? Is she afraid to be alone? Are you scared to be alone, or do you treasure time for yourself?
