There's nothing wrong with preferring to be with other people, but you have to make sure that you know how to take a step back if you need to. You may find that having time to yourself becomes more valuable later in your life. Thanks for the comment, Omar! Alone time is not as enjoyable for some people as it is for others. There’s nothing wrong with preferring to be with other people, but you have to make sure that you know how to take a step back if you need to. You may find that having time to yourself becomes more valuable later in your life. Thanks for the comment, Omar!

You see my girlfriend is that kind of person. She loves to spend time by herself sometimes. Now, I never really understood that. I guess cause I don't think I'm the same. I guess I get that feeling sometimes, but not as often as she does. You're right though, sometimes I guess I depend on other people for my entertainment. I would like to learn to love spending time on my own though. Don't know how to do it, without...getting bored. Sometimes, when I want to be alone..its actually when I'm depressed (so that doesn't really count), but yes..I would like to learn how to enjoy it! I want to understand more about that.

Everyone at some point will have this on a day to day basis throughout life, so i don't tink your as exceptional in this case as you are making yourself believe. The fact is, everyone has 'an evening to themselves once in a while', i don't know anyone who goes out every night.

On the other hand, I could happily spend weeks by myself going to the movies, eating out, walking under the sunset. It is healthy to want to get away from it all. I think it is an amazing feat when someone can be alone for long ( as in months) lengths of time without feeling melancholy. This is a normal type of alone with which most people are comfortable.

I try to carve out at least one night a week when I can spend time by myself. I read, write, take a nap or catch up on "administrative tasks" which helps me stay sane & keeps me rejuvenated.

Growing up in a small city could definitely contribute to your enjoyment of alone time, if for no other reason than it means you're not around as many people on a regular basis. It is especially nice to have some time to yourself after you attend an event or something with a lot of interaction. It's another one of those situations that makes you appreciate your own time even more. Annelie: Thanks for your comments!

Especially when I have attended an event or something where your meet people very intensly. Though I'm not an only child, but I did grew up in a small city, and I think from that I just got used to having a lot of time with only family or by myself. I never thought of this as the reason to why I can enjoy my own company, but perhaps it is. One thing I especially agreed with though that it is very freeing. Thanks for writing about this, I think it is sometimes important to hear that others enjoy this as well! I also enjoy being along or as you say with my self from time to time.

I'm an ENFP so I get my energy from other people, but really, I've learned being alone I am able to relish in me. I make time to be completely alone about 1-2 times a week for more than 3 hours. It's something I give to myself as a present, each week. Oh I love love being alone and by myself. I think it's such a comfortable feeling, because you always have you by your side.
