Do you enjoy your own company?

[SensiRide]

Seems like a silly question but I was just thinking about an old flatmate I used to live with who couldnt bear to be alone because she didnt enjoy her own company and I couldnt get my head round it.

I love spending time alone and was just wondering if you guys do too, or so you feel more comfortable when you're in a crowd of people?

I'm an only child too so I wonder if that makes a difference ie. I've never had any brothers or sisters to talk to/play with when I was little so I amused myself and even to this day, I can quite happily sit in a room alone without any stimulation and be fine.

I notice some people thrive more in large groups - I wonder if this is because they arent confident enough in themselves to be in a smaller group of people, say one on one, or two.

So - do you like yourself? Are you quiet happy being alone or do you feel the need to be round other people all the time? Were you an only child and do you think this makes a difference?

Hey this thread is so me!

I'm a deep introvert. Although I have a brother who I am very close too, I use to move around from country to country every three years or so, so friendships were hard to keep. I enjoy the company of people, but it takes so much energy to sustain being around people for so long, and I have to retreat to recharge my batteries so to say.

I dislike big crowds except at concerts and clubs. I enjoy a small group of friends who I know really well. I like being a loner, but other times, I'd rather chill with people.

Sometimes for me, being alone is the best. When I do get a chance to be alone, I cherish it, cause it happens alot less than I would like.

Sensi, I'm an only child too, and also am fine with my own company... in fact, sometimes I would RATHER be alone. My husband always says "lonely child" instead of "only child", and that kinda pisses me off, since I wouldn't ever trade my only childness for siblings!

Haha (The loner) i am an only child aswell and i enjoy my own company, when im smoking weed but if im by myself doing nothing at all i just cant stand it because it gets soo boring most of the time

yeah sometimes being alone is cool. I always seem to find some stupid thing to do, I rarely get bored.
But chilling with friends is, well, cool too. I guess it's a nice ballance.

I hate being alone, but not cuz i don't like my own company, i just like havin ppl around me cuz i feel happier .... aslong as their happy of course.

But.... i do like some alone time every now and again, theres a river that flows out into the sea by not too far with my house, i sometimes like to go down there and sit on one of benche's along the river bank with a doobie and my personal cd player (which goes everywhere i go lol) and just sit and chill, get high listenin to some chillin tunes :thumbsup: imp: :rasta:

I like my own company, especially when hiking. I don't even take a mp3 player with me, just my dog and my thoughts. I recently had a long lasting relationship thats over now, and it's nice being alone again.
