Do you ever feel happier when you're by yourself more than when you're with others?

[Anonymous]

Yes I prefer my own company

No I need at least 1 person with me

[ohshee]

I am a very deep introvert it has become an extrovert because of work and just because of the things that I do but I'm very content being alone and I love being with others only if they're real people though I hate fake people and I don't hang around too long if they're fake

[MCheetah]

Much happier, yes.

[MCheetah]

Thanks for the MHO?

[Asker]

You're welcome?

[MCheetah]

Okay, I'll explain it more, so I feel like the MHO is worthy.

I do feel happier when I'm by myself more than when I'm around others, because other people always have expectations from society and I frankly hate having to conform to those expectations. Like when someone wants you to shake their hand, but you know they're the type to use the restroom without washing them. Or when people want to make small talk about things they don't really care about, but do it anyway. When I'm by myself, I can actually be myself and not judged by others. People seem to judge everyday (even I'm guilty of it), but when alone, I can fart and relax and whatnot. So I prefer being alone as opposed to having to live up to societal expectations all the time and jump through all these etiquette hoops.

That's 150 words, I think.

[Aerissa_Jade]

I can do both, learned how to do both. While I prefer company I can succeed just fine alone, doing things by myself.

On my morning walks right now, cause its too icy to run, I often am having conversations with myself, good thing I don't usually answer back.

[MelonSoda]

People are annoying and fake anyway, so yeah

[Aninnocentchild]

Do u think that has anything to do with the belief we shouldn't talk about politics, religion, or anything deeply meaningful to us

[MelonSoda]

@Aninnocentchild What

[Asker]

I know I'm equally confused.

[FreyaRed]

Even if I'm extrovert and enjoy sometime being the center of attention, but most of time I feel more comfortable while being alone. Among other people you need permanently situational awareness, it's interesting for a while because you can prove yourself. Doing it entire time makes it tiresome. I don't disappear from other people radar, even if I stop playing my show.

[Dana223]

It is lovely to have a company and people to talk to, to grab a coffee around the machine and have a chat. But one also needs their "me-time" at some point.

[Anonymous]

Yeah but that is because a lot people don't have attractive personalities. They leave you feeling... less... drained... decreased...

[Xtcy2083]

Yes, I do. At least when I'm alone there can be no possibility of misunderstanding or "offending" someone. So sick to death of having to always walk on bloody eggshells around others!

[RebeccaBI2000]

I am usually a lone and I am happy with it. No one to disappoint me

[Raidernation01]

Yep. You can do what you want without someone lying to you

[jessicake]

I need time to myself because I’m still an introvert but it’s special and fun whenever I’m with others

[call_me_scar]

Absolutely I once faked a sore throat for a month just so I didn't have to talk to people

[AviatorTom]

Everyone should have some alone time, where they can just do whatever they want and relax.

[sheikalana]

I either prefer my own company or spending time with my partner.

[SiberFox]

It's not that I prefer my own company but I am content being by myself.

[BarryLiverstone]

It varies. I’m happy by myself and can recharge but when I’m with others I have a great time.

[I_want_a_moustache]

I don't mind either way but spending time with family is always a yes.

[skyymf_]

sometimes, when im mad or sad i prefer to be alone 😭.

[Blackcupcake]

I love being around my loved ones, so no

[Aakash_Hangargi]

I am the same with or without people melacholy

[linka_pat307]

Yes, I feel gud but with family much better

[ellEyeInnKay]

Can... can i request a half a person?

[jahaims]

Yeah
