How do you avoid being alone?

Question

It is often argued that, as humans, we are social creatures. What are the ways in which you avoid being alone?

I was referring to "truly" being alone. No music, no phone, no tv, no computer, thinking, etc. I consider these things that distract us from noticing being alone.

Answer 1

i hang around other people most of the time.

Answer 2

There is a difference in being alone vs being lonely and I dont think people spend all there time around other people... The thing is how do you define being alone? For each person its different I think so what you may consider a hermits life style might not be lonely for that person but that same hermit could see your city life style and say that they would be lonely living in your place. So its a huge perspectives issue either way you look at it. The way I avoid being "alone" is to make sure other people know how I feel and am feeling about my being alone. Some times I need alone time some times I dont but if other people around me dont know when is when then they cant keep everything they do in relation to my aloneness in check.

Answer 3

Being alone is relative. I'm alone here with my computer,
but I'm really along if I'm in YA? I don't think so. Being alone sometimes is a necessity for the humans as being in the company of family and friends.

Answer 4

social creature is a spell..we are getting crowdy because of spectrum of fears anyone of us carrying within . feels safer on a short run, then we quickly creating all kind of dramas where safety becoming questionable.. Socializing does not do any good rather spreading fears within a crowd...That is what we live mostly...What is wrong of being alone? Ability to enjoy aloness does not exclude an enjoyment of being social time to time...or it does???

Answer 5

I don't think I'm always trying to avoid being alone. I enjoy being alone. It's a relief...a time to regroup. Then there comes a time when I seek company. Being around people too long drains me.

Answer 6

Although many seek the comfort of others, the cruel fact is that we are really alone. Trapped within our skulls. While you may reach out and touch someone, our minds remain apart.

Answer 10

your social experiences depend on your culture. most cultures (except the united states) have mulitple ways of being social. in the united states you are often limited to work and church due largely to our wacked out ethics.
