Sounds about right

I see so many people here prefer to be by themselves and here I was thinking all this time that it was just me ?.

I'm not alone, by myself, enough.

It really depends on my mood. Sometimes I love being in a large group, and other times I prefer my solo comfort zone. I can usually be persuaded to hang out with a small group of close friends, though.

I need mostly time alone in near-perfect silence (unless I'm intentionally watching something on Netflix or listening to music), punctuated by occasional periods of socialization with one to three friends. Even three other people is pushing it, but any more than that and it becomes a dreaded "group."

I have the smallest circle of friends ... it's a dot. lol. I'm a serious introvert and hermit and rarely leave the house for anything that isn't necessary. It keeps the "active shooter" at bay. LOL!!! J/K

Well....I am seldom alone....usually have one of three dogs with me....and my life romantic love lives in the same house with me...we get along really well......I know a few good people, some that I could probably count on for help if needed, and could for sure count on me.....when I'm in a crowd...its like my brain short-circuits, like theres a radio on each side of my head, full blast, on different stations....in a crowd with one speaker is okay, but many conversations...is too much. Just too much input for my feeble brain.

I'm a loner, my favorite company is my own. I don't like a lot of conversation and I'm not interested in hearing other's drama. I like to keep my personal life very private.

I'm retired so it's usually me and my dog and cats. When I'm out walking my dog I talk people, there are a few I see often since they are out walking their dogs too. That is about enough socializing for me. I've worked with people who couldn't bear to be alone, which would be a terrible way to be since inevitably you are going to spend time alone especially as you get older. It's something I could never empathize with; good books, a few hobbies, some snuggly critters works for me.

I sort of fit into that. My circle is almost down to me alone these days. I like being alone but I can be in a group and talk of many things. I work with the public but could also give a speech to a crowd. I cherish my alone time most of all.
Even so, I remember working in a factory where I saw 2 men walking along and one points me out. He says - "See that man. He will follow you around talking to you." It was funny because the one man was following the other man at the time.
Since I do love to talk you would think I would love texting. Not so. I hate it. Everyone walks around with there head down and smiling at their phone. Mine is in my pocket or I left it in my car. Not so long ago a person got my number and said now we can text each other. Why? I send a text only if you sent me one and it has some importance.
