Sometimes we need to be alone and organize our thoughts. I like to go to walk by the sea and think about things I have done and things I want to do. Sea makes me calm and makes me feel God's power. But there are times i go to crowded places as coffee shops and fell alone, I look at the people and see how diferent and interesting we are. What is your favorite place to be alone?

I love going to the mountains,hike way up so I can look over everything and just feel like I am on top of the world no better plae to be than the mountains but if you dont have them amybe a cool brok of running water the sound just seem to wash your thoughts away and is a very calming effect

I guess most of the people like to be close to the nature when they need brake!

I enjoy going to the beach too. When ever I have problems that I don't feel like I can deal with I like to go there. I admire the power of the ocean and how, no matter what, it kepts on hitting that shore line.
It makes my problems seem very small and unimportant.

When I was still staying with my family I would take bus rides alone to think or just to have sometime with myself. Sometimes I would go to the beach but I don't find it very safe. Now, since I have moved out and living on my own, I don't need to get away. My home is the best place to think and cry and just be myself.

there are two places where I like going if I need to be alone with myself..the first one is the sea...just like you said,....i find myself becoming a part of nature....I can listen to the voice of the sea... walking along the sea shore, mainly during winter, is a powerful experience...sometimes I write my thoughts in the shore and wait for the waves to cancel it...my bad thoughts go away with the waves, too...
another place where I can find peace and comfort is one of my favourite bookshops..I mean the great one where I can become and feel little between all these wonderful books...reading and smelling the books I can find myself again

Me, I hate being alone i feel like my thoughts gonna explode. Mostly if i have to rest and not to think, i stayed in my room, rest my body and thoughts. I cannot think if i am in a quite place, i cannot concentrate more. i remember whenever i had a fight with my exboyfriend and need to hide my tears with my roommates i just lay in bed and cover my whole body with blanket. In that way I am not alone but then have a privacy.

Oh god,where do istart.Since i suffer from severe depression and social phobia from being physically abused since iwas 7 years old.Well ive been always alone i have no favourite place to be in to tell u the truth.Being alone which is always home makes me cry and weep all night even when i try to go out with friends i avoid crowded places because of my anxiety i always feel alone with my friends,maybe they see me laughning from the outside but they have no idea about my problems and thoughts.

My favourite place is my bedroom. If it never settle the thing, i will go to somewhere else like you did, walk by the sea. I will stand at the on place and just standing there until i have willing to move. Mostly when i have a problem, i will prefer be alone :) so bedroom is the suitable place...

My favorite place to be alone is at home by myself. I don't have a sea shore close by me to walk down. That would be nice though. I feel alone in big crowds too. I feel like an outcast actually. It makes you feel unwelcome or noticed also. I just like being alone at home because it is a safe placve for me to have remorse or cry without being judged by someone possibly staring at me.

Isn't it funny how clear we notice colors, smells, sounds in the moment when we stop and listen?!

What a Great discussion idea!
I know it is rather odd, but, I always liked to drive out to the air field to be alone. I think it is something to do with the runway lights, that wintergreen blue. I find it a very soothing color. If one were close enough to me I would take solitude in the Church, with Christ on the Altar.
