I don't like being alone. It makes me feel depressed for the most part. Thankfully, I'm not alone very often. If the kids are at school and I'm not there volunteering (which, the school ropes me in so much I swear I should have a cot set up there!) then if I'm at home, I'm on the phone, or I'm chatting to neighbors outside, cashiers at the grocery store, anybody who will talk to me. *laughs* It's like I need that contact. The bright side is I've met a ton of great people, I've become really, really sociable, and I seem to be able to make friends pretty fast. Heck, I made a new one yesterday! Sometimes it's cool to just enjoy some peace and quiet, but when left to my own thoughts, too many times I end up feeling anxious, obsessing over things. I don't like that.
i don't like it either. my hubbys in iraq at the moment so i will be alone for months. i'm feeling better than i did on his last tour because i can keep myself busy working for the most part and calls my friends or chat online when i'm not. its strange, because im not a very social person in general and my own company i'm happy with, but when he's away i really can't stand the isolation and lonliness. but keeping busy is definatley the key.
I don't like being alone, either, but it's not because of boredom, it's because I'm a huge fraidy cat and I'm scared of my own shadow. I'm good during the day, because I'm pretty much scared of the dark. Well, the outside when it's dark. I've always been scared to look out the windows after it gets dark out, I don't know why, and I'm terrified to look out there if I'm alone.
i'm like that too. my calender fell off the wall in the kitchen last night and it was all dark and i nearly had a heart attack coming down the stairs to see what the bang was.
mistake #1- never investigate..just hide further under the covers and make sure none of the covers is hanging over the bed.
but if you stay hiding you will never know and therefore get more scared. whereas if you go and look you are more than likely going to be plesantly suprised than laugh at yourself....but if it is a murderer/rapist/robber hopefully the adrenalin will kick in and you wont be scared.......................(ok maybe not)
I like being alone. It gives me time to just think and breathe. I like being around people, but I need my solitude.
Me to... if it's for too long of a time I start to come up with serveral different stories that he got into a wreck or somethign... sigh. The suck part about it is, when he's not here I HAVE to be here, so it's not like I can just go out and do something too.... and I can't have friends over or I'll be accused of who knows what. it's sucks.
I'm the opposite, I prefer be be alone and often find myself fantasizing about it when there's too much going on.... on the rare nights i have no kids, i stay home turn off all outlets to the outside world and party naked... seriously. people suck.
Yep I hear you, and also with me, I'll start up with my stupid hypochondriac crap and worry I'm going to drop dead at any second. It's ridiculous and I can admit it. Any little thing I have wrong with me or anyone in my family or think I/they have wrong makes me fear the worst. Ah, lovely post-traumtic stress coupled with having a nurse for a mother who always knows the worst case scenario to every ailement.
