I enjoy people watching so I don't mind big crowds. I work in food service so my friends list is quite large. My circle of friends is very small, mostly family. I do prefer to be by myself, though.

It's almost always been a life with a few close friends, four to six.

I typically prefer to be by myself...

Sounds about right

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

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.
