What "makes sense" for you?

Yes, it makes sense because what you are about is you. Regardless of how you live, who you live with, you are inside your person. You have a soul. It's a natural craving to search inwardly. We were created that way and what we search for is our Creator. We were hard-wired that way. Denying it is either dishonest or nonsense. You can't only acknowledge your earthly existence because it causes you to yearn. Bottom line, we are spiritual beings and ignoring it makes you only half a person. It feels good to be alone because you are acknowledging your soul, listening to your thoughts and when you ponder it gives dignity to your existence. In our alone-ness is our peace and serenity. Have you read about how Saint Augustine was such a wordly, promiscuous young man, while his mother Saint Monica prayed constantly for his conversion? This is one prayer he's known for :
EVER ANCIENT, EVER NEW
Late have I loved you, O Beauty ever ancient, ever new, late have I loved you! You were within me, but I was outside, and it was there that I searched for you. In my unloveliness I plunged into the lovely things which you created. You were with me, but I was not with you. Created things kept me from you; yet if they had not been in you they would have not been at all. You called, you shouted, and you broke through my deafness. You flashed, you shone, and you dispelled my blindness. You breathed your fragrance on me; I drew in breath and now I pant for you. I have tasted you, now I hunger and thirst for more. You touched me, and I burned for your peace.
from The Confessions of Saint Augustine

Not sure what you're asking but I'll try and answer!
I used to feel alright being alone and didn't care if I had friends to talk to. I didn't see anything wrong with this or didn't think about it. For some reason things changed and now I feel I need friends in my life. I have had to work really hard at getting people into my life (for some reason it doesn't come easy to me) but I am continually making more friends and getting out more with my friends.
Hope that answered your question. Yes, it's OK to want to be alone if that makes sense to you. Whatever makes you happy!

I love being alone. I love to hang out with people, but sometimes I just need my own down time. So that i can eat, relax and watch really corny 80s films, like Weird Science, or watch Miami Vice and laugh and eat Chinese food. I have roomates and just love when they go away for a while. Its not that I don't like them its just that I need "me" time. Sometimes i like being alone too much and thats what I think scares me, becaue I don't want to be like that the rest of my life. If it happens so be it. But I don't think so. People for some reason kinda like hangn out with me. Hope this answers your question.

If you have alot of stress in your life and your life feels like a rat race, then yes it makes sense.Now if you are by yourself and don't have much contact with others then no it does not make sense.Get out and enjoy life .Meet people on line , make friends .I am always a good listener.
