Why does it happen?

Question

Sometimes I like to stay alone at home, not all the time. But I expect in every month that I get lonelyness, mostly in examinations. When I get the chance I pass my time by reading my favourite books, cooking favourite dishes, wathing my collection, writing my personal diary, watching good movies,making pictures. Some of my friends told me that it's not good to live alone. Does anybody feel like this? Is it good to stay alone sometimes?

Answer 1

I love to be alone. I am just that way. I choose to do it because I like the peace and quiet of being alone. I don't think there is anything wrong with it. Some people function better when alone.

Answer 2

Everyone needs time alone, it CAN be lonely but some people would just prefer to do what they want to in their own time. I would love to do what you do! Oh the joy to be able to read, write and be quiet, I have a toddler so none of that for me! I think you just gotta find a balance, you do have friends though so you must be sociable still. My dad spends all his time alone and the only friend he has is his partner but she goes to work, he just does his hobbies all day, and sleeps in and makes lunch for his girlfriend, he has nothing else to do and gets bored a lot. At least you have friends, just make sure you catch up with them enough to keep them because they are very important : )

Answer 3

Disengagement is not a bad thing, if you don't give up your friends. You need the social interaction from time to time.

I do understand what you mean, though. I spent my life in the working world, with the ever present confusion that goes along with it. Now that I'm older, my child is raised, I truly and thoroughly enjoy the silence and being by myself most of the time. Oh, I do have my friends and we do things socially, but it's nice to be able to come home to the silence, it's healing.

Answer 4

When one is alone that is the only time one gets the chance to evaluate things, and in this world things are moving at supersonic speed mentally one feels at peace when going on the own and one enjoys it. As most of the time one is at others disposal going on in the others directions.

Answer 5

I personally feels that its quite allright to sometimes stay at home. I mean, sometimes you just feel like being alone. Thats kind of normal, i sometime feel that way too. But dont staty at home too much though, you need friends to be happy :) good luck !

Answer 6

It is EXCELLENT that you enjoy your own company so thoroughly.

If you're lonely, go out and socialize and you'll be doing great.

Too many people never learn to enjoy time alone, and therefore become too dependent on others.

Do for yourself what feels right and you can't go wrong.

Answer 7

Anything in moderation is good. Anything that are excessive is not good. Time alone sometimes is great. Being alone all the time is harmful to your mental health.

Answer 8

theres nothing wrong with being alone and doing things like this. I spend alot of my time alone and i seem to find ways to entertain myself.

I notice that when im around people too much, i just get annoyed and angry sometimes. I think i require my own time alot and it seems to help me cope with things around me.

Answer 9

We are born and we die alone. We all, no matter what your friends say, have to deal with our thoughts. We are alone even if we are in a room full of people, most of the time.
Alone with our thoughts...

Answer 10

I think its perfectly normal and there is nothing bad in it. some times i am also like this. it is positive as long as u do positive activities when u r alone. but it can be very distructive when u think negatively and do negative thoughts (worries)...
