Love being alone!

[ginderella85]

I'm married and have 2 DC but I love being alone and dont have any friends, before my husband came along I would spend weeks alone and go out if DCs were at the dads. I can't stand people being around me and being in my house! I would take the children on holiday and days out alone and loved it! A work colleague has commented I never form work friendships with colleagues, never attend work dosand its made me wonder if there's something wrong with me!

People come in all colors and stripes and there is nothing wrong if that makes you feel comfortable and happy. Not everyone HAS to be super social! The only concern would be if you are withdrawn due to some trauma or social anxiety, etc. But if it's just how you are most comfortable and you still have people you care about, then what's the problem?

There is an expectation that we should be social and the more friends we have, the happier we should be. But as the pp said, we are all different.

I used to collect friends when I was younger and I'm sure that was because I was lonely. Now I'm happy in my own skin, I have very few friends, and I don't see them very often, but I'm far happier.

It’s really about whether you are happy and fulfilled. If you are, then no problem.

Lots of people like being alone at a time in life when it is difficult to achieve being alone. Then they find it less appealing when they get old and sure enough achieving being very alone is very easy.

I us3d to be super social always out and never wanted to go home but I just love my own world doing my own thing, reading books, watching films and even some weekends away alone! My ds does have autism and is an absolute whirlwind maybe I'm just wired for the peace and quiet when I'm child free
