I just took this from another website but i believe they mean being alone for long periods of time or even life. does that make you feel emotionally uncomfortable?

[Cynicaldreamer]

Disagree. If anything, I get more uncomfortable bring around too many people, or the wrong people.

I like my me time and being alone! It makes me happy being alone sometimes, especially being around extroverts or annoying people at work. You can be alone, without feeling lonely, stressed out, or depressed- at least most of us are that way.

[itsalyssaagain]

I like being alone because nobody can bother me 😂 but if someone is nice to be around then sure I’d like their company

[Still-alive]

i guess im nice enough for you to enjoy mine then hehe. although im not physically there lol

[itsalyssaagain]

Yes definitely

[LiamJHayden]

No, but I have never been in a situation where it was virtual solitary confinement. If I were stranded completely alone somewhere, I'd know how to survive, but I might not want to if it went on for too long.

[OfMiceandMen]

I said strongly disagree. I could be perfectly fine being on my own the remainder of my life, but I choose to find/be with a close friend and enjoy life to its fullest.

[madgoat]

Loneliness (long term) is very destructive. Humans are not meant to be completely alone. Some manage it better than others though, and it's probably very different when you're young to when you're older.

[EmmaMary]

Whilst it is always nice to have some "Me Time", I would be completely utterly lost and beside myself, without our young children and husband around me.

[menina]

I disagree. I like having friends or friendly people with me, but I'm ok with being alone. We need time for ourselves too.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

I agree to disagree & when it comes to being alone you are never alone if you have imaginary friends.

[call_me_scar]

Define alone in this case like do you mean the thought of being single forever because that would be a yes if by alone you mean oh I just won't see my best friend for a week or whatever then no

[DizzyDesii]

Nah i like my alone time but when i have company, im takin em for an unforgettable joyride

[Nikki1989]

I have never been alone to know what it is like.

[Apulu_Imback]

Disagree, actually I love it when I'm all alone in home with no one else.

[art84]

I like being alone though don't mind my nephews and nieces around me. Though if I am like in a large group like a sports game or church then I get anxiety really bad and need my alone time.

[Unit1]

People hurt me in direct contact.

Most of them don't but as a rule I feel safer being alone.

[goaded]

I really need some time to myself from time to time.

[goaded]

No interaction with anyone at all, even electronically, for weeks or more would not be pleasant. Knowing there would be an end to it would help.

[NostalgiaSenpi]

I'm getting used to the state of being alone. I have no faith in ever not being alone. Alone is all I know.

[Likes2drive]

I don’t need to be around someone constantly, but I don’t want to be alone forever either

[zagor]

No, I am quite used to being alone.

[Still-alive]

Does being alone for the rest of your life wirry you?

[zagor]

If you mean having no friends or family, then that would be tough. If you mean no SO then no problem. While it would be nice to have someone special, it doesn't seem likely to happen and I've done fine thus far without...

[xJayleenx]

I like being alone but not for too long

[Still-alive]

What happens if it is ‘too long’?

[xJayleenx]

I get sad but life goes on

[SteveSmith1985]

Strongly agree. Strongly.

[coachTanthony]

Love my alone time. It's awesome.

[serious]

Strongly disagree.

[Sparkie460]

I have no problem being by myself

[CuriousMufuxka]

I take total comfort when I am alone.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]
