Think back, why did you always murmur to your companion about that person sitting alone? It can be postive, negative, or neutral, I just want to hear your opinions.

The general public is superficial and easily frightened by what it doesn't understand. It mistakes being alone for loneliness, as well as for a rejection of humanity, and labels it weird or worse as we all know! But being alone is absolutely crucial for creativity, self-knowledge, freedom, and being an individual human person rather than part of the herd. Don't you agree?

I don't know why people think it's weird,I think it's pretty cool,that someone is so comfortable with themselves,that they can do things solo. I was/am predominately a loner. When I use to go to clubs,I went by myself. Now,I'll go to the movies or have lunch solo. But I socialize too. One strong motivator for me,to do the solo thing was,leeches! Either someone needed a ride or they didn't have any ends/cash.
The big plus in not minding being alone is,not depending on another person(relationship)for your happiness. Right now,I'm in a relationship and have been in for 5 1/2yrs,but I am just as happy when I'm single. And that's attributed to things I've learned,from past relationships(friendships and otherwise)and learning from both the positive and negative. Y.

Because after people have been alone for awhile thier social skills kind of wither away. There are many negative reasons why people are alone, like they are insane, drug addicts, or perverts.
I'm alone and I do wierd things like answer Yahoo answers questions. I find myself talking to myself more and more, especially when I'm upset. Maybe I'm going crazy.
I am overweight with type 2 diabetes. I'm basically lazy, and I'm a slob. I don't dress really neat, but I dress sane. I'm pretty much an outcast to society, and I've turned to playing music as a way to become part of society. It's painful, and as I get older I realise I'm set in my ways, and I'm probably going to be alone for the rest of my life. But I have God, and some family in town, and a couple acquaintenance friends. All my close friends got into drugs, and either died or are mentally messed up. It's like I survived a war.

I think that its a misconception, your brain does that because it wants to find companionship. Its not weird because it dosent make anyone else feel better that you have more friends, the general public could care less. If you had a loss like a boyfriend or a best friend or a relationship it might be hurtful to also know your lacking compainionship. Be happy alone, if you want to be alone, if you dont do something where your sure to find compainionship like take a class, dance class, volunteer

Huh? What are you talking about? I never knew that being alone was viewed as weird. I often go shopping alone or even out to eat alone. When my husband was in basic training I'd sometimes go to the movies alone. Sure, I have friends but sometimes it is nice to go shopping and not have to worry about what anyone else wants to do or that they have to be somewhere by a certain time or whatever. One of my favorite things to do is leave the kids with hubby and treat myself to an iced mocha that I enjoy while browsing through the book store. I do this ALONE!

I never did that . I've seen weirdos , who were alone or with someone .Millions of people are alone in the course of their day at some time or another . When I am driving , I notice that most of the drivers around me are alone . Not all ; but most . It has nothing to do with weird .I've never heard that comment before , in terms of being alone , as a weird thing .

I am 43 and still single. I just haven't found the man I want to marry. I'm sure he's out there - I just can't find him. Where are you? Oh, sorry - where was I? I get weird looks all the time for going to restaurants or movies by myself. Should I stay at home and be bored because I don't have a mate? People have asked if I were "gay" because I'm married. Do you "become gay" after you are single past a certain age? NO! People ask me, "Don't you want children?" Of course I want children, but I can't have them myself. Silly people. Why do you do that?

Maybe its a deep rooted fear for people to see others alone and they worry it could be themselves in that position too, not everyone makes friends easily, some people have been hurt beyond recognition and just don't trust anyone anymore, I suppose there are those who don't do themselves any favours either because they just shut themselves off to any form of friendship, its a big old lonely place out there for a lot of people and for a lot of them it just isn't of their own doing, I hate to see anyone been lonely, an hello doesn't cost anything and can make someones day.

Because the world in general thinks everyone should be like them...but honestly, to truly be someone in life, one must be alone most times. Leaders think a lot, and spend a lot of time alone. They plan, the plot out thier lives so they can be better for themselves and others. Everyone else just meanders around in a daze trying to impress everyone. And everyone else then looks to the leaders, whom they think are just wacky for being alone most of the time...as recluses and weird.

Never viewed some alone as weird. A lot of people sit alone. It's very common to see people sitting alone.
