Back in my place I used to be alone at home and everything for me is peaceful and quiet and I can do things what I wanted to do not to bother anyone around me.I believe in myself that I know how to deal with different types of people by respecting them and for being considerate.Now I am living with different types of people.If you where to choose,do you prefer to be alone or to be with different types of people?

I prefer to be social, and be together with other people. But also I enjoy time alone, infront of the computer, with a book or something else. I have tried live alone, it's simple to boring for me, I much more likely wanna live with other people, so you can sit and talk, make food eat together or other things. My 2 cents :) How many do you live with? Do you have your own room?

AT home I had my own room now I am living with two people in my room.Yes being alone made us feel to be bored.It is really helpful for us to have people around us so that we will not be bored and we will not feel that we are alone..

Yes exactly but I still love when I have some time for myself, doing what I want, reading watching movies, doing nothing, sleep or something else. But being alone for a to long time is really boring and lonely.

I'd rather to be alone...though I admit there are times too that I want to be with everyone else but most of the time, I'd love to be alone. Because it's quiet and I am not bothered with anything away from my work which is earning myself income online. Happy MyLotting!

I agree with you on this. I love coming home after a busy day to the quiet of an empty house, but at the same time there are times when it is really lonely. I live with 2 roommates who are really social and when they are around it just makes me feel more lonely. I like to concentrate on my work and get things done. Even though when they are not around I can really easily lose track of time... :S

I would want to be with someone of course, as it would be my delight to be with my family. It is not good for man to be alone. The best is definitely to be with the spouse and the kids. In the case that a man is still single, it is still best to be with the parents.

it's nice to be alone sometimes BUT i'd rather have people with me at home. being alone makes you feel lonely and I don't want that! I don't want to be lonely! being alone makes the house empty and sad.

I agree with you sometimes we have to be alone so that we can reflect more in life and we can decide for our own and yes indeed we are human being that we have the feeling to mingle with other people too but we must sometimes choose who are we going to mingle so that we will not be influenced by their negative acts.

Hi, You are right. When you are alone we can live peacefully. we can do anything freely without any disturbance. But sometimes we need company to share our feelings. When my son was living alone we were very much worried about him when he was not feeling well. When he started living with his friend we were relived from worrying. Thus when we are alone and we are sick then we feel that someone would be there to help us.

I prefer to be with someone at home. Since I get used with our house that has 14 family members including our 2 maids then I feel alone when everybody is not a home. Sometimes I am the only left at home and it seems that I missed them. The peaceful environment is deafening me and I do not so much peace.

All my life i have been surrounded with people and have enjoyed it.However there came a time in my life when i wished that nobody should come and this has happened since the last few years.My mom who was quite popular always had lots of visitors coming to visit her at our house.She passed away 6 years ago and since then there has been a drastic fall of people coming to our place and now nobody comes to our house anymore,not even my relatives or even my friends.I am now completely isolated from everybody and since i am wheelchair bound for the rest of my life i too cannot go anywhere.However i am enjoying the peace and quiet of isolation and find the time to do what i could not do earlier.

I would much rather be alone. It is peaceful and I feel like I can do anything anytime I want. I usually take a nap and I can't sleep if there is any noise at all. If there were someone else here, I would feel that I shouldn't nap. I wouldn't want to tell them to be quiet or to leave. I like to have people stop over, but I don't want to live with anyone.

Depends truthfully on my mindset at the time. There are just many times where it is really just going to be something where I am going to want to be just alone with my thoughts. Alone with my ability to plan, to ponder, to think, just to really get a lot of things done. Just many times where sometimes it is just a matter of necessity to rather be alone. Still there are times where a house that is empty, with just me is rather lonely. And sometimes rather unsettling. It just makes people imagine things a lot of the time. So eventually, the sound of my own voice gets tiring and it is nice to hear another voice at times. It tends to swing back and forth depending on each day, depending on my mood.

Being with different people really brings happiness and are really moments to enjoy. However, I would still prefer to be alone most of the time as these are moments when I'm at peace with myself. I could enjoy reading or indulging on activities that I would love doing without any distractions and, generally I felt more relaxed in a quiet surrounding.

Hi. I think it depends on what kind of person you are and who is a part of your life. Happily I am in a good situation where we seem to know what the other needs most of the time and overall, we're fine with it. I think what is important is finding a balance that works and have everyone understand it.

For me it just depends on my mood. For the most part I like to be alone, but occasionally I like the company of others. Of course that doesn't include my kids who are generally with me unless at work. They're always fun!

I choose to be with different types of people. Living with different types of people makes you learn what is life. Besides, there will be people who concerns about you if you are good with other people and you can ask for help if you are in trouble

I prefer to be with someone not alone at home and most of all I prefer and love to be with my wife who are my best friend too, we are together about 39 years and have two adult sons that live with their family's but all of us prefer to be most of the time together in this I mean us as a parents our sons and their wife's and children's.About to be alone,I love it when I do my hobbies like painting,building from woods etc because then I need space of quiet and thinking of mind.

Personally, I love being alone at home but I can't be alone all the time considering that I now have my family. There are times I love seeing people. When this feeling overwhelms me, I go out to the mall or shopping centers.

I have been living alone for over 40 years. I LOVE it! I feel very uncomfortable around other people.

hi alquizar, I really like being home alone because thats the way it is most of the time...But I tell you, every now and then I get loney and wish things were different...but then I think about it, who need the drama that comes with company sometimes. So I will take alone anytime...because I know where and what to not to be home alone... There is something to be said about tranquality...Its a great feeling!!!!!

alquir, Its little bit tough question. We need different people around us in some situation becuase real happy comes when we make others happy, atleast for this we need people around us. I also like to be alone atleast 2 to 3 hours in a day, Its gives you to analyse what you are and what you doing. Being alone with music set ON is my favourite enjoyment.

I like to be alone at times when I'm drawing, working on something, or general quiet. But when it is prolonged, I started to get very lonesome and at times I even get paranoid. I like a nice balance really between my self time and with others to avoid both nuisances and being alone. Not that I get bugged too often when I state the first one. Just at times too much attention makes me feel awkward and such. So, to sum it up... eh... I would like to be around people I know, friends and family, or getting to know more than random people. Added I have a problem with being surrounded by many people.
