On this Friday evening, who else is spending it home alone, if you're willing to admit it like I am.
I was never alone, a hubby and three kids and various animals, big house, other people's kids. I used to dream of a day when I could at least go to the loo in peace. Then 31.03.2017 it was all gone. I was alone and homeless. I wish with all my heart I could have it all back.
Home alone. Getting kind of tired of that scene. lol
????? ok enough sad faces, let's cheer up a little bit ?????????????
I hearya. It gets old after a while.
@memorylikeasieve Yes it does.
@CM1965 aaaahhh....took me a second, yes your profile says that and I didn't give it much thought and now the curiosity is consuming my "nobodysness" (I am sure it's not even a word, I just threw it out there for the grammar Nazis).....so, getting back...the million dollar question now is .... Why are you the monkey princess???? Yup, tell me a story ??????
I am but by my choice. Ended up having to work late. On Friday. When the weather is finally nice in Minnesota.
Thankfully I’m not completely alone.
@Moby dogs are the absolute best!
But I thought....
I took my daughter out for dinner, but then dropped her off at a movie date (no, I wasn't invited), and then came home and washed my car. LOL! Thrilling.
Yes, I'm home alone, though I did go out alone for a little while. And I'd rather not be alone, but hey, you can't get everything you want, so I'll make the best of it. Why are you home alone?
Friday night and I'm alone.
@Moby I'm up late watching a documentary series on WW 2.
Ha! I'll totally admit it! And I'll even take you one further. I actually prefer it that way.
I get to do what I want when I want to. I can take a hike in the woods (did that) and nobody to tell me to come home at a certain time or go to X at a certain time blah blah blah...
If I had my way, I'm not sure I wouldn't just head the hell up to the mountains and stay in them alone except to come out for supplies.
Shit - I'm starting to sound like the uni-bomber... :-0
Yup. Broke and lonely. ?
Seems like I'm always broke but the chatrooms on here can help with the lonely part
Awrh, thanks, guys. ?
I spend every night alone, Friday is just another day and I'm fine with that. Maybe one day I will meet the right man but I'm not holding my breath. I am usually too tired after work to do anything anyway.
@MARDUK Yes they are! Ain't nobody got time for that! ??
Yup, you're not alone.... I was going to watch TV but decided to organize my books instead. Lot of work and too much fun
I'm spending it at the ER
are you back home yet? hopefully nothing too bad?
@blueskies I'm home it's ok
I'm not alone I have all the people on agnostic.com to accompany me.
Yeah!
@Marcie1974 I even get a warm lap (one computer is an older Mac with a failing battery. It gets pretty hot).
Me. I have my Kombucha, Bill Maher and Agnostic.com. After a hard day work that's all I can handle.
@Moby It is fermented tea. Great for gut health.
I spent my Friday night at work like I almost always do
Me too
My thoughts are if you are on this page/forum and know yourself a little you are probably aware of being more fond of your own company than tolerating, even suffering, company of others whom you would prefer to be without. Being alone is not the same as being lonely as you are probably aware. There is a saying which sounds kind of cliched that suggests that being alone is not the worst thing; the worst thing is being surrounded by people who make you feel more alone.
On this search for whatever, self discovery?, I had to be told when you are feeling down, speak to someone, face to face, on the phone etc. I had a feeling of 'whinging or complaining' which made me feel guilty, so I avoided it. I realised with assistance, it was a cognitive distortion as a consequence of an anxiety thing that had happened as, what I thought, was my fault, but actually had occured when I was in adolescence, but was not old enough to recognise or deal with. I chastise myself, even now, for taking so long to resolve or come to grips with it. A close friend had asked me why I was so hard on myself, which illuminated a lot more than I was aware of at the time. If you want to be a better person, don't ease up on yourself and aim for mediocre.
I am alone now, earlier I got to do Grammy duty, my granddaughter spent the evening with me. She has now been collected by her parents and is likely tucked into her own bed. I'm wondering if I will be able to sleep well tonight.
Me, that's who! I'm the reigning king of the introverts, and after a busy work week, there's no place I'd rather be than here at home (a/k/a The Fortress of Solitude).
