Do you enjoy doing things by yourself? If so what do you do?

[Uptowngirl88]

Yes , love it. ❤

Used to but now I'm over it. I need friends or a boyfriend/girlfriend

No I hate it

[Dragonpurple]

I don't necessarily love doing things by myself, some things sure... but many things are better with others.

Riding ATV's for example, going into the mountains by yourself or hiking just isn't the same solo... and if I break down or crash or injure myself I'm as good as dead.

Going to movies though, back when I used to go... I got tired of waiting for friends to find time to go and just started going alone. That is actually better a lone than with someone. I don't go to movies anymore though, since Hollywood started making nothing but garbage or yet another remake of something.

Things like kissing though, that is more fun with someone.

I also cannot really imagine going on a vacation by myself although I have tried it. I imagine doing things solo are easier and more fun if your a outgoing extrovert.

[Shizunk]

Omg too many things.
Reading books, writing books, painting miniatures, making of dioramas, sculpting faces for latex masks, sewing costumes, training sword techniques, learning new languages, developing excel tools.
Life is too short, I need about 3 more to finish all my projects...

[Cynicaldreamer]

Of course! Who doesn't?
Don't get me wrong, with the right people, I like doing activities with others, but otherwise? I prefer doing things on my own. Such as: walking (most people walk too slow to keep up with me), exercising, shopping, or just being alone and unwinding- especially after a long day of work. Trust me, after work, I don't want to be around anyone if possible; I'm happy just relaxing and doing my own thing.

The only time I really like doing stuff with people is when I'm playing a video game. I do like playing with my close friends. Otherwise I'm mostly a loner and used to doing or being on my own.

[ShaTTeredMasterpeace]

I'm a loner by nature so doing things by myself doesn't bother me. It's the social anxiety that messes with me sometimes, but I'm getting better. I've gone to the movies alone. Out to eat. Museums. I'm going to start taking myself out once a month too.

Though sharing is wonderful, there are things I'm a solo flyer on. Gardening, painting, interior or exterior, changing oil on my car, checking tires and other fluids, sewing, cleaning the gutters on my house, setting out hummingbird feeders, mowing the lawn.

When I replace my long stolen Stihl weed whacker, I will edge my own lawn again. Christmas present for myself.

Writing is a solo activity too. Reading also.

[user1516]

I do actually, I live abroad part time for training and stuff so being alone and doing things on my own kind of relaxes me even though I’m homesick sometimes. But doing things alone is good for self development. You guys should definitely try it someday :) even if it’s just a trip to a coffee shop and drink your coffee in there alone.

[Apulu_3]

I'm one of them who like to be with themselves but I do like to meet and talk with new people. I like to try out new recipes, bake a cake, write poems and horror stuff, blasting some pop music and dancing while singing it (which I guess everybody do when they are alone), playing piano, feeding birds, dogs or cats, enjoy the calm wind in the rooftop and the list goes on.

[PoopyPoop]

I generally prefer doing things with other people in my spare time as an extrovert. I don't feel that strongly though to characterize it as love vs. hate. I'm fine going to like a restaurant by myself though, but I won't sit at a private table. I'll sit at the bar and talk to the bartender and people around me and I can usually score a potential friend doing that with whom I can start hanging out with.

[J2ohhhhh]

I went to my friend's music concert alone. I mean I had a friend there, but he was busy playing music, so technically I was alone. And it was great, I was sitting in an armed chair enjoying my earl grey and the music. I like to solve problems, but also enjoy to teach myself to appreciate easily accessible or simple things. Logistically most accessible thing is doing things alone so I taught myself to enjoy it.

[Certainty]

Honestly I prefer having a companion but it is not necessary. I just do whatever comes to mind and usually explore unusually things when I'm alone like new towns, country roads, viewpoints and quirky bars/restos/experiences.

Yes I do all this to satisfy my own desire, but the paradox us that I am very eager to show to my friends and family the things that I have discovered. Not so they think that I'm cool, but more to share the joy around with everyone.

[lilaccc]

yes, as long as it makes me happy, simple as you were sitting in a cafe, hearing music, drinking coffee slowly and enjoying sweet food alone no need to share, bcs i'm stingy.

nah kidding.,

its more fun to bring friends and share the food. sharing is caring, not only just for boyfriend, but still the way its "caring" i mean a bit different😌

[TheSpaceGnome]

I enjoy doing things that can be done by myself, but I enjoy them a lot more with a girlfriend because I hate isolation (and i hate being around most people).
Video games.
Building things.
Making art.
Science Experiments and research.
Writing stories
Making music.

[Uglyphuck]

I like being alone only because of social anxiety and fear of judgement and rejection.. that's why I prefer to be alone cos with other people I can't be myself or comfortable... It's just a big headache... Although being alone all the time is boring and, I dunno, I'd jus like to be with other people... But not while being socially anxious though.. wish I could just zap it away

[Uglyphuck]

What I do is eat. Video games. And youtube

[Uglyphuck]

And my favourite of all... Sleep

[zagor]

Yep. I've taken extended vacations by myself, foreign and domestic. Ski trips, hiking, museums, biking. I often prefer the flexibility it gives me. There are sometimes disadvantages - someone to watch your stuff while you use the bathroom is nice.

It also leaves you more open to meeting new people and hanging out for the day, or hooking up for the night.

[TheBigGuy9]

I do like it, but it’s good to have that as just an option because there are some things that you cannot replicate by yourself as you can with a significant other.
As far as doing stuff on my room. All Spring, Summer and most of Fall I could go out and play Golf. It really helps me clear my head. Going to get a massage, reading a book at the local coffee shop.

[herakleias]

Before, I used not like to be alone and always looking for a friend. But now I really enjoy with bein myself I listen relaxing musics, cooking, walking around, reading.. I like even working alone. It makes me peaceful and calm.

[KasonBader]

I have never really had friends if i did then they would the next day always hate me like every ody else and I want a Girlfreind because I want to feel loved and cared about, and I want a girl to know she is loved and cared about too.

[menina]

I do, but sometimes it's nice to be with friends. I enjoy walking, shopping and I would also enjoy going to the movies by myself.

[Laura456]

Heck yeah! Covid lockdowns trained me for this. Me-time is vital and refreshing. cooking, exercising, watching movies :)

[IAMNathanael]

I generally enjoy being alone, so mostly anything. Music is one of them. I like to blast it so I don't have to worry about bothering other people.

[Anonymous]

I have a boyfriend, but I still like to do things by myself like take walks, workout, go shopping, run errands, cook for myself, watch a movie, etc.
But there are certain things I don’t like to do by myself as well.

[DizzyDesii]

For the most part. I just dont like watching shows/movies alone (but i will) and i dont like riding theme park rides alone.

[AviatorTom]

I enjoy doing things by myself, but not all the time. Sometimes it's good to have others help out in teamwork.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

I enjoy going on adventures by myself & anything from roller coasters to road trips. No rules, no one to drag you down, you just grab your shit & go.
