Do you enjoy doing things alone?

[stargazer01]

I mean, Do you enjoy doing things alone? Things like going out to eat, to the movies, for walks without someone else?

I really do. I always did. Sure, I also enjoy doing things with family and friends, but sometimes I just want to be alone doing my own thing without having to talk and listen to someone else haha. I can go out to eat or to the movies, shopping and I'm fine. One thing I don't like, though, is to travel alone. One day or 2 alone in a familiar place is fine, but on an extended period and in a new place, I much rather have company. Good company.

I don't actually like dining at restaurants. Take out or delivery, almost always.

I loathe the "theatre experience," whether it's alone or with someone. The sound, the big screen, the seating, the food and drink irritate me profusely.

I'm the type of person that enjoys MMOs, but then usually solos everything. I like the idea of people, but not the actuality of it. ;D

There are times when I even lock myself in a room so I can't be bothered by my wife... and when she was living with us, my daughter.

I do plenty of things alone, preferred it for a good chunk of my life actually. Always liked going to movies by myself or cooking/eating a meal without anyone but I've recently begun to grow out of it. Going to a movie with one or two friends, and grabbing a bite to eat or drink afterwards... I've grown to appreciate the companionship. I can still enjoy those things in isolation, but I can do a lot of things in isolation more easily. Might as well do it with a friend.

I'll sometimes go for a walk by myself but I usually do stuff with other people (sometimes not by choice LOL).

[Phoenixx9]

I do all of those things by myself without any loss of enjoyment. I also do them with others too.

[Michael Watkins]

I don't get how people do most things with other people, to be honest.

I kind of draw the line at going to the show. Sometimes tho I get it- time and place. Older you get your circle of free time and free people just gets small and by and large ain't nobody makin' time for that. I can count on 1 hand the number of movies I've seen alone and I'd have change left over. Also If you're single it's much easier to do and I am not above it but I just don't like the perception, of what, the look, might be, of me, for me personally. Coming out of that dark ass theater into the sun, alone, that perp walk to the car lol, is the least coolest part of it for me. I can go to a bar and sit, and chew it up with people I've never met or not say shit and watch TV. I can eat alone, again prolly at the bar and I'm Kool and the Gang. Walks, sure, once in a while, great, that movie tho. I love parties, not so hot on big sporting event type crowds, depends but I've got a strange conditioning in me that prohibits a solo mission at the cinemaplex unless there is no way in hell, I'm going to see this until it hits streaming or physical release. I saw Wonder Woman solo but before that I think it was Coyote Ugly for some sick ass perspective. I mean who am I going to bitch to, fresh off the view, if the movie sucked? That's part of it right?

All this is to say... I plan on seeing Shazam! alone but only cause I don't wanna answer any questions from the wife.

I adore it. I thrive on it and detest when someone invades my me time

I do often find that being off on your own is often a lot more enjoyable than having company, especially if you just want to go off and do something that you like instead of worrying about what other people want to do. However, given our existing social norms it's impossible to shake the feeling that you're being a weird loser and that people around you are all silently judging you for it, mainly because whenever I see someone out alone I can't help but feel a little sorry for them. I do kind of wish things didn't have to be like this though, because the way our society is currently set up you are almost forced to make friends and spend time with lots of people you really don't like just to have a normal life, because there are so many basic activities like going out to dinner or watching a movie that you are expected to do with company and just feel awkward to do alone.

I prefer my own company, and have never had feelings of loneliness.

When I go to a movie, or out to dinner, or any other activity, I can go where I want, when I want.

Life is good!!

My thoughts exactly. I usually do a lot of things alone, unless I'm with my wife. At work, I keep to myself and just concentrate on my work on my screen. I'm not really a small talk person.

I much prefer my own company, and my own home. I would much rather watch a film at home in my library than go out to watch it at the cinema. Of course, I would prefer a cinema in my home, but whatcha gonna do?

[GOLGO 13]

I have resolved to doing a lot of my activities alone. Mostly because it seems I'm into "weirdo" things. So the time it would take to find link-minded people & have them turn out to be even bigger weirdo's/insufferable people would waste even more of my time.

Also, I recognize a LOT of it is my own fault. Meh.

[Phoenixx9]

I don't let people put their negatives onto me, because...yes, people are a-judging! I don't feel sad or lonely when I do things alone. I embrace my me-time. If someone looks at me for going to the movies or dinner alone with that sad, pathetic face, I give them a quizzical look that says "Cheer up! Don't be sad for me! I am having at least as good a time as you. And possibly even better."

I guess I have a new hobby - building. Last year I helped to remodel my parent's house, I did everything on my own and I am very pleased with my work. No one was nearby and did not interfere with my advice. That's pretty relaxing. My next thought is to make some overhaul in my place. I already found a decent toilet thanks to sanitaryreview and maybe my next move is going to be a backyard garden.
