Hey.
I'm new here. At first when I joined this forum I thought it was a get together of people who enjoyed being alone. I now see that's not the case, are any of the other people on this site here because they can see the beauty of being the only person alive, and want to talk about it? If not I wont give up on the site just for that. I've been here a couple hours and already read quite a few interesting topics, and I can see this site is filled with interesting people. Lonely is lonely. No matter how you feel about it.. Right? Also if anyone knows anything about the "only Ghost" please email so we can talk about it! Thanks.

Greatest introduction ever.

Also, I do enjoy it *most of the time*. I'd move to a cabin in the woods if I didn't have to hunt animals. I do still have a desire to move to an isolated farmstead, ha. In case you're interested, I made a thread not too long ago explaining why I enjoy being alone: http://www.alonelylife.com/thread-does-anyone-prefer-being-alone

Cool man! I'll look into it.
 
Although I do enjoy the quiet moment and sometimes get a bit worked up in large crowds, I would still prefer the company of another, I think.
 
I like to have personal time to myself yes. No-one but me.

But it gets lonely after a long time of it being just you.

Oh, and welcome aboard. :D
 
Same here. I love time to myself but would rather be around atleast one other person.
 
I am often alone because I prefer to be, but my self-imposed isolation makes it hard for me to find company during the times that I do want to be around others.
 
I am not alone. I have a partner of some time and love him to bits, as indeed he adores me. But when he goes to work I am left alone, and though I should be grateful for having the ocean to gaze upon, a writer's life finds loneliness again when fountain pen kisses paper. It is a chosen a lifestyle, because writing is my life though I cannot live by just writing alone, so I supplement it by doing other work.

As I sat gazing into the sunset tonight, I reflected on what it could be like living in a loveless marriage, or having a partner whose interests are not compatible with mine and is never at home for me. The prospect of living alone does not feel good at all, for I would crave company if only a four-legged friend, like an undemanding cat.

In closing, as I intended keeping this short, I look at my friends who have made me theirs since I joined this forum and want to give something back. Something praiseworthy; uplifting, something to make you smile.

This is for you.


I hope that you all have the strength to be the person you want to be, and lead the life you want to lead; matters not what age you are.

I hope that you are able to be yourself, without reservations, and change the world when you find the chance to do so.

I hope that you will all start a revolution, when you realise what it is we need to revolt against.

I hope that you will all smile at the things that earn a smile, whether it's that they are so beautiful that you can't help but smile to them, or so sad you can't help but show them happiness.

I want you all to create something beautiful, something that shows the world what you're really made of, and I want to see your creations when I look out into nothing.

I hope that you all can experience happiness when you're all alone, and when the stereo no longer sings to you, and strangers no longer write for you.

I hope that you can experience the euphoria of being completely alone, and feel completely okay.

And I hope that you can all learn to love in a way you never thought possible.

When you don't expect, and when no one preaches, because everything is clear, because finally everyone realised that nothing is.

When you're left to yourself, after the world has had its way with you, and you've listened to songs about war and sermons of Hell, and you've finally come down and found a place where everything is in grey, and you've forgotten that it is made from black and white, because you have finally forgotten black and white, and Heaven and Hell are the same, because nothing is real, and you're not real, but you're okay.

Okay? :)

Love, Anna Mouse


 
I think you can enjoy being alone if its a choice. Thought if you are alone because you have no one its different. Of course if I had a group of friends or a guy I'd want to do stuff by myself and I'd enjoy it too. But knowing there's no one to call upon if you want them, I doubt I'll ever get to the point of enjoying that.

I think I find being alone easier a lot of the time, not having to have the worry about whether people actually like me or just being polite, or if I'll say something stupid.

And that's probably a part of why I don't have a proper social life.

Nah. My telepathic range only reaches as far as the bottom of your stairs.
 
Welcome to the forum Boss. Like the others, I enjoy a little quiet time every now and then. I'm afraid to like it too much though, because there will be a day when my loved ones pass away leaving me alone with a true desire and to want nothing more than to be able to hear them laugh and talk to them like it is right now at this point in my life.
 
I don't like lonelyness at all... but at the same time I like it, and I don't like liking it...
 
I used to have no problem with being alone. I rather enjoyed it. As I've been about here and there and had a taste for the social life and different friends to have different varying dramas with, being now that such things are gone, I tend to find myself that same person... Desiring to have social interaction. Be it comedy, flirtations, common ground, discussion, comradery.

Despite that, I'm a man of solitude. I enjoy stealing moments with the heavens while everyone else is busy slumbering thinking the next day has some sort of meaning. I enjoy being just another face in a crowd. I enjoy not being tied down by the pettiness of most social behaviors, the pecking orders, the know its, the authority figures...

I find myself feeling most alone and in discomfort contemplating my own mortality and realizing that if I keep living the way I do in a successful manner so as to live a relatively long life... I will part from this earth in the manner of a ghost. No one who I cared for most will know that I was gone, and those who would stand to be hurt most by my parting would be better off for it and not even really know who it was to whom their attachment was severed.

 
It's kinda funny. I watch tons of anime about friends and romance, but I don't desire it for myself right now. I always just think I will when I'm older, Still tho I observe other people my age having it and I think to myself.....
 
I'm getting to like it like I see people and I feel I'm seeing them through glass and they disgust me sometimes you know this is human life like seriously!?!?
I mean I'm getting to be snotty about human life how can I be superior to anyone else on this planet? 'cause I am alone and they with friends so you know I think they may have the upper hand i don't like feeling desperate you know when i'm upset and there's no one to talk to, that's terrible stuff

They disgust me too. I want to evolve, but I think I'm recessive.
 
I definitely much prefer being on my own most of the time.

However I do also understand that there is much to be learned and gained from socialising with other people.
And so I attend parties and events every few days, but I try to stay alone as often as possible.
