Are you alone?

Are you alone most of the day? Do you sit by yourself, or go on the computer or other things to keep yourself pre-occupied? What does it feel like to be alone? Would you change your ways if you could?

I can't say for sure that I am ever alone because I always have my husband, our daughter and our cat around.

hi frined, Its a problem with me I've faced this sitution often more times. What I opt to do at this time is just using my mobile and calling my friends and making bore to them, what did you say will it work, but it doesnot satisfies me personally at all. If you have other ways then let me know them yaar....

i am all alone in my room now typing this entry in your disscusion thread.Somehow i like the feeling being alone for temporarily so that i can have my time doing something that i enjoy..If permenantely,i think i can go crazy due to excessive loneliness.However,my mind now is fully occupied by certain memories that cant be erased..and a image of somebody that i can never get rid of..So i cant say that i'm completely alone now..

Yes, I'm alone all day except for my animals which are great company. I work from home so i'm lucky. I don't mind being alone as I am an only child so i'm used to it! I like the peace and quiet and no I wouldn't change it if I could! ;)

I am usually not alone for long. A lot of the time I wish that I was alone. In fact, that's why I am awake a lot in the middle of the night because it's the only real alone time that I get. I live with my adult daughter and her three sons ages 7, 5, and almost 2. There is not a lot of alone time for anyone in this house. And the only time that you get quiet time here is in the middle of the night or when you put on ear plugs. We are a noisy and busy bunch what with the TV on all day long and the playing going on all day by the baby while his two older brothers are at school. Then there's homework time and playstation 2 time. We are currently playing Castlevania Curse of Darkness right now. The two oldest boys play one at a time and I watch them play. Then when they leave, I play, hee hee. Sometimes I complain but I would not change anything at all right now. I love my family and I don't ever want to live alone again. It really is the pitts being completely and totally alone for days on end.

I am home alone all day long. My hubby works and I stay home with the fur babies. Even though I have lived here over 5 years now, I still have no friends here. I was laid up with a broken foot for 6 weeks. I didn't leave the house during the day at all. I only got out on weekends when we went for a drive somewhere. In all that time, none of my neighbors ever asked after me. Living in a different country means no support group. So, you sit here inside, talking to no one. No one noticed. I do go on the computer during the day but not all day. I also write poems, that keeps me busy. I don't drive here so there's not much that I can do about it. You get used to it. You learn to like your own company.

No, I am not alone most of the day, all the time. I am only alone most of the day, when the children are all gone or in school, it is very rarely. I like to sit by myself and just be overwhelmed by the calm and silence that I rarely get to hear. When it gets to crazy I tend to try to hide at the computer and talk to my friends who will listen. Read emails, or petition the goverment, or do mylot. Most of the time, being alone feels wonderful the only time it does not, is when I am feeling sick or depressed then alone is not good.. Change my ways? The only ways I would change is to be able to go out more, have a paying job, and be self supportive, and live alone, or only allow people into my house is going to be respectful and that I get along with... - DNatureofDTrain

Yes, I'm home most of the day and my husband works, so it's just me and the dogs. Since I'm a big fan of peace and quiet though, I wouldn't have it any other way!

When I am working in the day time, I am with many people, including my boss, my colleagues. But when I am home play or surfing on the net, I am alone with my computer. Sometimes its good to be alone, because you are free to do anything, you are not watched over your shoulders, you are not judged by your supervisor. The whole world seems to be yours.
