Does Anyone Ever Just Spend Days Alone On Purpose?

[nailit]

I really just enjoy the times when I can just spend days alone with no visitors, work, friends/family etc to interrupt my solitude.
Anytime that Ive been in a relationship for example, Ive craved time alone.
Now that im single, I can.
And enjoy it.
People (even friends and family) exhaust me.
OK in small amounts but ultimately am comfortable in my own skin doing my own thing.

Used to think that there was something wrong with
people that wanted little to do with others
but as time goes on people and interactions holds little appeal.
Recently attended a family funeral and all the 'fake sympathy' sickened me.

As does the fake family love that we believe in. And the fake friendship love.
(Not to mention the fake religious 'love' from the AB religious section).

I love to see my family, but, like you say Nailit, in small(ish) doses.
I need to be on my own for quite a while to recharge.

Just for once can you guys have a discussion that doesn't involve Christianity. Someone says they, on occasion, like to be alone and people weigh in about religion. It really is very odd.

[gness]

What people, Paigntonian?

[Paigntonian]

Nailit: You mention religion far more than your so-called 'religious section'. Why do you think that is?

[Paigntonian]

Gness: People like Nailit. Thought it was him who posed the question.

It’s nice to be alone when praying to God . :-)

“You guys” led me to believe you were addressing all.

Very alone, Anne. :-)

I do a job where I am alone most of the time - driving trucks. Suits me down to the ground.

Nice isn’t, Hoppy. When I did a lot of driving a few hours alone in the car was bliss.
