Do you enjoy doing things alone?

Question

Do you like doing things by yourself? Do you enjoy spending time alone at home, or shopping by yourself? I don't like it. Unless I'm really in a rush and pressed for time, and can't really enjoy the person I'm with, that's when I'd rather be alone. Any other time, I want someone to accompany me on most things that I do. Am I insecure? I spend the majority of my time alone anyhow, maybe that's why I want someone around when I go out? What are your ideas on this?

Answer 1

insecure no, not necessarily sometimes it is a good thing to have time by yourself and do the things you want to do.

However is this is happening way too often, maybe just maybe you need to go out with some friends. and sometime boredom sets in so we really want to be with people and that makes perfect sense

Have a lovely week and enjoy it whatever you are doing

Answer 2

I am a self admitted homebody. After a long day at work, theres nothing I'd rather do more than come home, wrap up in a warm blanket and take a nap or just relax. Don't get me wrong...I love to party too, have lots of friends and a great social life, but I am also very independent. As far as shopping goes, I prefer to shop by myself. I'm on my own agenda and I can go wherever I want to, I dont have to wait for friends to try stuff on etc. I don't think its a problem that you feel the need to be with someone. I have many friends that are the same way as you, and they're still great people. At times they do seem a little insecure when they feel they need to be with someone to do EVERYTHING, but more than anything, I think its just a personal preference. However, these "needy" girls also have a rough time in relationships. Once they have a boyfriend, they have to do everything together, and guys just really arnt into that :)

Answer 3

The activities I do myself, yes very much. And I like to do other things that also include others and as long as we maintain a complimentary approach to this all is well. Each individual knows what the job needs and what the other individuals need to maintain a complimentary level or structure within the activity. The breakdown comes in the form of secondary transactions where the structured activity has become a method to insert other than first level adult complimentary relations that mistake the individual to be part of this instead of the structured activity called work. I used to say to one boss... I can manage your business or be your psychologist but I am not able to do both at the same time. Take your personal problems out on me turns me into a more than managerial role and will render my work ineffective if not defective. So in the end, not willing to give up his secondary games I left and drove trucks where most of the time the only contact with anyone was to find out where to pick up the load, where to drop it off and where to get my check.

Answer 4

Sometimes! i like being home alone and watching TV or a movie or just spending time on my computer or on the internet. I also don't mind shopping alone or going to the movies but mostly i prefer sharing with someone else, that being either a partner or a gf or just a freind to hang out with. It always seems to be much more fun doing things with others for me.

Answer 5

There's nothing wrong with doing things all by yourself or with being alone at times. I myself even do it most of the time.

However, if you find yourself withdrawing from other people, thinking eccentrically, and somehow you lack normal aggressiveness in relation to others, that is not good.

Like I said, I do it most of the time, but it is due to the fact that I am far from my friends and other relatives, but if ever I get a call or an invitation to an occassion I go with them.

It is fine to be alone at times, as it is an 'automatic mechanism' to restore your form, Recuperation that is.

But if you prefer to stay alone due to shyness and unsociability then there is a little problem with you.

Answer 6

I love my family and friends and I love to spend time with them. But every now and again I need alone time. Sometimes I just want to lay on the sofa and watch a movie or read a book without distractions. I love it when my husband and my son go off together and leave me be. I also like going grocery shopping alone, this way I can concentrate on what I need to buy and not what my 13 year old son wants me to buy. God I wish I was alone now.

Answer 7

I personally need to be alone for like 2 hs per day or I go nuts. It's something to do with thinking and sorting out my problems.

I don't think it means you're insecure but, I could spend days by myself, even though that doesn't mean I'm secure. It might even be the opposite, I just feel like being alone many many times.

Answer 8

I like doing things alone,sometimes. When i am shopping alone,i often take my time to do it and enjoy this process of thinking about nothing.When i am alone at home,i don't need to care about anything thing.There is nothing wrong with hanging out with others. Do things with friends can make you feel happy and bold,especially when you want to try something exciting and special!
