Alone at Home

What do you feel if you are alone at home? There are some people who really does not want to be alone or may be, it is difficult for them to be alone or they cannot stand alone. Even if at home, they do not want to be alone or they cannot stand alone. In my case, I really want to be alone at home because if I have lots of people at my house, there are some situation that both of us might don't understand each other or sometimes, it disturbs me a lot if I do something and they're the one who contradicts me. It is okay for me if both of us understand each other, but if both of us do not understand each other, it is better to be alone. Can you stay home alone like me? Or Am I 'weird'?

Just learn from the movie 'HOME ALONE', LOL. I'm staying by myself in a new house. There are plus and minuses. Some pluses: - I can have all the freedom I want - I have plenty of privacy. - I can blast my speakers Some minuses: - You can't avoid that loneliness, but you'll get used to it after a while. - When bad things happen, you have to figure it out on your own (could be good/bad) - It could take a while to do some things (depending on how much needed to be done)

I can't stand being alone too- it makes me feel sad. But I sometimes want to be alone at home- just sometimes..It's nice to have peace and quiet when I am at home- take e break from everything... But most of the times I like being with my family. Human beings are made to accompany each other, that's why God made Eve for Adam, since he was lonely when he was alone.

Hi dear, You got a company!! I want to be alone and when I am alone, I enjoy a lot. Do specially nothing, but if no one around, it is my own world. Now-a-days, if I am alone or not, my whole time will be with myLot and nothing else. However, earlier, I used to sing song on Karaoke, house cleaning, listen to music or do paintings and all. Being alone at home or anywhere is a good companion for me, my solitude. Thank-s

I enjoyed being alone or i should say 'being independent'. In my college life, i've got a lot of friends but since I was a working-student, I avoided getting attached with them to further use wisely my time. But of course I enjoyed their company - we ate together chatting for like two hours, going to school together, going back home together but that's only when i got adequate time because most of the times then, I ate fast, go straight to school, and go back to my dormitory the fastest so I could do my student chores and later go to work. When I was alone then, I realized I had become independent. I went to an exclusive school for girls in hi-school in Manila, a place very far away from my home province and it trained me to do things and decide on my own. Now that I am working (working hard), I chose to be alone in my room. I have always time to ponder, decide slowly but surely. A tranquil ambiance clears my mind and help me to visualize things so I guess I decide more intelligently. And when I am so tired, there is no one to disturb me because I want a real rest. Being quiet helps me a lot in a positive note. Although my friends would always say I am a so quiet person...but if they could know me better, they would understand. Yes, fewer words, fewer mistakes. And somehow, I am a great influence. If I am with a group of friends those older or younger than me, it is them who say I could put a crown in discipline, in merriment in a sweet and not loud manner.

Hello, first let me say that you are not weird of wanting to stay home alone. If you are happy within yourself and like being home alone there is nothing wrong with it. I too like to stay home alone. With no one to interrupt me I get a lot done because most of the day I am on the internet working on my projects.

I love being home alone. I don't do anything special or out of the ordinary, but since I'm rarely home alone, it's a nice change of pace. I guess I just enjoy solitude. This reflects in my introverted/"loner" personality.

I do enjoy being alone. It's something that I really like, and I do try to take advantage of. I live with my husband. So I don't always get the chance to be alone very often. I don't mind this at all. But I also like being able to be in our apartment by myself. It's nice, once in a while.

There are many times when I really enjoy being home alone. I have 5 kids and a husband and sometimes the peace and quiet is really nice. But then there are times when I really enjoy having people around to talk to. I am not scared to be alone as I have many dogs to keep me safe. So I like a bit of both.

Hello! i do love to be surrounded at home with my loved ones but its still okay if im home alone. I can stand the quietness of the whole place just like what im experiencing during weekdays when my husband is at work and my only daughter at school for nine hours. This times, I could do all the stuffs without someone bothering me or catches my attention. That's why I usually do all my personal things during the time im alone. I love to be in this situation temporarily because its still best when im in the company of my love ones. Have a nice day ahead!

I would love to be alone in my house but it happens so rarely. It is very strange that my first thought would be to have a peaceful, undisturbed sleep. But when the opportunity comes, I find lots of things to do instead. When my family returns, they are surprised that I have been so busy. I always get a lot more work done when alone, perhaps because there aren't people around telling me how to do everything!
