Alone no more!...

My friend had an effective advise when I told him that I'm going to be alone at the house since my family were out of town. Being alone in an empty place makes me feel lonely. So he made this suggestion. "If you are lonely, dim the lights and watch horror movies. After a while you won't feel lonely anymore." And it works!! The problem is, I couldn't sleep anymore.

Sometime lonely is good. You can do what you like lo. You can have a piece of mind. A lot of things waiting you to do. How come you can feel lonely with all the things waiting you to do. Or clean the floor, arrange your bed etc

I don't mind watching or reading horror alone but for some, the company of vampires and pychos is worse than just being alone

@arthurchappell Yeah, Dexter can be scary but not as scary as those "ghost" roaming around unseen. Pulling you up and down.

That's an effective way to disrupt our senses of being alone. I like horror movies too.

Yeah. I just realized it would be fun watching horror movies with friends. Where you could shout together and laughed about it afterwards.

That sounds like crazy advice to me!!! Why not comedies? Romance? Or was it so you could get that last sentence?

You never would be lonely because you will be scared by watching that horror movie and feeling like you have a companion out of that horror movie.
