I actually noticed I don't. Almost to the point it's like a phobia. It doesn't matter what I'm doing I amost never leave my house unless it's with people. I'm never seen in public without others around me. Sometimes I go alone places and feel in the open and awkward. Just some creepy dude crawling around public. Like I've sat outside a decent restaurant and decided on fast food instead because I couldn't find anyone to eat with. The idea of sitting in a place and eating alone is too weird for me.

I'm sure it's totally the opposite of what people would expect from me, and feel like I cut myself short. Think of all the stuff I could do alone. Like watch cool new movies or explore new but also old places. My friends and family don't always want to do what I want to do, and I spend more money because I always buy everything for people. I also eliminate the chance of meeting new interesting people because I'm always surrounded with other people I'm 100% focused on.

Is anyone like this, or do you go solo? If so what is it like? Do you meet new people, see more stuff, and generally have a better experence with other people or alone?

i am that creepy dude in the corner of middle eastern restaurants

i am that creepy dude at specialty coffee shops


People look at me like I'm about to rob the place. Thing is when I get nervous I throw up a wall that looks intimidating. Hands in pockets, head down, peering looks around me. If they only knew I'm just here to preorder Pokemon Moon.

I DO. I USED to go out to the clubs by myself. Why? Last time I hung out with "friends" I went to pick them up "early". She was ready two hours later; we went to the club "late", I was enjoying myself (dancing up a storm) and friend wanted to leave. I learned my lesson. Then (now), I can go anytime I want, I can leave anytime I want. I'm NOT at anyone's beck and call, etc. Also, I did the "eating breakfast" alone the restaurant. I did this too (ONCE); I had a hang over (LOL 😆) and was famished! Wasn't bad. I'm NOT a follower and not quite the LEADER either. I enjoy working by myself at work (as I don't bother others and vice versa). A lot of the staff members hang out w/one another at social functions, movies, etc. Moi? I see them 8 hours a day x 5, etc and I don't want to "hang out with them" after work/weekend. I do my job M-F, but after 4:30 pm it's my time to do as I please.

My philosophy is this, "I was born by myself, I'm going to die by myself, so I can go out to the clubs by myself". As y'all know I work out four days a week. I don't need a "gym buddy". Enough said 😏

Yeah, I do things "solo"...I EVEN play solitaire every now and then 🤗 cyber hugs!

Love,

Eva

Some things are just more enjoyable with someone to share it with, but if I wanna do something bad enough, I have no problem doing it by myself.

It's a great way to watch a guilty pleasure movie or TV show. Hungry? Eat at the bar and make good with the bartender. Why limit yourself?
I'd rather watch YouTube for 7 hours straight then go to the bar alone without any friends to chat and sing with lol. I went to the bar once alone, after me and my Leo ex split. I was on this whole do everything myself kick for a few days.

If I want to get up at 5 am to start hiking so I can catch the sunrise on the top of the mountain, i dont wanna hear bitching, moaning, or fight to get anyone ass out of bed.
the plaid makes sense now
I'm small and defenseless. I have to blend in with the other mountain dwellers so I don't look out of place and get singled out.


Hobbits wear plaid?


Is that anymore strange than a buzzed cut sasquatch in fishing waders?


My buddy got a picture of me a few years ago walking through the woods while fishing and it looked just like you described...and the famous sasquatch photo...I was like you asshole.

click to expand

I want to relate but I just can't. I'm trying to pry my memories for things I do alone but besides wiping my own ass I can't think of anything.

Fishing is something I love, but my best friend does too so even then I'm buying some rum and taking him along. I probably wouldn't even do that alone.

Soul ain't no Scorpio Moon...

Image Not Found
You can't really say that. Bob Marley was a Scorpio moon and loved people.

Now we need a meme of a Scorpio moon calling out a Scorpio moon, then a Scorpio moon using a Scorpio moon to get back at a Scorpio moon.


Marley was always high, though.

I'm a downright social butterfly with enough chemicals in my bloodstream.

Like I'm not? Love me some rum and herb. In fact that's another thing I use to bribe friends to enter public with me. I just want to have a crew of people with me.

Actually I got it! There is something I do alone in public. 10 mile bike rides on the trial.

That's a relief. I was beginning to think I needed hand held in everything I do.

I want learn how to do more stuff alone, but also enjoy doing it.
What happening to kayaking/canoeing?



I do a lot of things alone, but I also realised I've barely ever lived alone my entire life. I think six months at most. One time I actually leased a place for a year without ever really living in it. I was always staying around someone else's.
click to expand

The bike stuck more. I took the kayak out once and it was really fun. The issue is it gets lots of water in it so you have a wet ass the whole time. There isn't really a point to it after that. If I wanted to swim I'd jump in lol. I first though it waa my weight but even my friend got wet. He said the one he used before didn't let water in, so I wrote it off as a defected kayak. I want to invest in a better one, but I'll still take it to the lake next time I camp. If anything I'll keep it as an extra.

I could do both even more crazier when rolling solo cause I could talk to people I don't know and make friends so I could do both.

Exactly.

If I want to stay in bed and not venture out

till dusk, I don't want to feel guilty for it.

There's a spectacular moonrise I don't want

to miss... I like the night better.

Once I realized I didn't have to have anyone

accompany me to do what I wanted, it was

kind of liberating.

Saved money too because I would also pay

for other people like that-- I don't feel so bad

about that now o.O

When you start doing your own thing, other

people will start to follow you instead.

And yeah I did meet new people.

I don't even go shopping alone. I wait till my mom and grandmother go and join them lol. I find it fun though, plus my Virgo mom knows how to save tons of cash. My mom also goes to the doctor with me, because I simply won't make appointments and go.

Maybe I was coddled and babied too much.

I actually feel most at peace when I'm not around people or with people.



I'd much rather go somewhere alone than with another person.



People drain me. #INTPproblems
I feel more freedom. I can stay at a place as long as I want, and I can meander how I want without having to worry about losing someone.

I notice I get a lot less done when I'm out with someone vs myself out and doing whatever. I'm not anti hanging out with anyone, but if I had to choose, I'd rather do some things solo. More freedom that way.

It's so weird to see how many people dislike people and being around them. I'm trying hard not to preach here, but our existence thrives on teamwork and care for one another. Is this truly where our species has ended up? Despising and uncomfortable with each other? We are all the same, and I feel how we feel about each other is a direct reflect on how we feel about ourselves.

Maybe it's just the astro nuts of dxpnet.

I do most things alone, and I enjoy it. I was the most social in my teens and early 20s, but compared to what most people are like, I was fairly solo even then.

I have a cat and she sometimes likes to watch me do chores like gardening so I'm not entirely alone then.

I like the freedom and peace.

I've sometimes met people when I'm out being a happy wanderer, as I call it -- I'm just walking around going where I feel like going. One of my friends was doing the same thing the day that we met. We both needed a lot of solo time.

I don't dislike people, generally speaking, I'm just selectively social because there aren't many people I want to spend a lot of time with. I keep in regular contact with people I'm close to, and I put my all into time spent with them when I'm with them, or talking to them on the phone.

I don't expect anyone to do anything for me. If someone offers it I'll be polite and let them. My situation is I won't go period. My mom can convince me to go. Stop acting like that's a bad thing. Better yet step out if you refuse to understand it.

Sweetie, there's a difference between being independent and being dependent on others to thrive in life.

One is better than the other for personal growth. I'll let you guess which one.

i do find that surprising and not at the same time from you. leos i find enjoy having friends and doing things as a group however when they are home, they are comfortable alone. the leo sun scorpio moon boy i met recently seemed liked he enjoys doing a lot with buddies. he lives with an aqua guy who enjoys people too so it seems to work. i think its good to have a balance of being social, and doing things alone. i usually prefer the latter. im the type to go to movies alone, really whatever i want alone. i havent had close friends in years that i go out with regularly, mostly because i moved states and am not as social as i was growing up. i highly enjoy my alone time and especially after having a full time patient services job where im talking to/helping patients, connecting all day. i need to recharge for the next time.

cannabis has also helped me miles with anxiety. definitely helps with my socialization.

i think its nice if youre lucky enough to have close family. it might be different for me if i did. thats probably why i take so much care when planning for my own future family. i want a close family.

That's okay. You bring up valid points. Too much isolation isn't good, particularly during bad times when working together can often solve something more than acting on one's own.

Who knows, you might go through a time when you prefer to be more on your own, or somewhere in the middle. I think people have different needs at different ages and stages.

I usually make myself interact with people, even if brief, when I'm feeling low because if I'm by myself too much my imagination can take over and make things seem worse than they are.

do you do anything for others? Soul
If trying to buy people with money, food, and weed counts.

Jokes aside I help my mom take care of my uncle and grandmother. My grandfather and aunt literally died within 2 years time and it left my grandmother shattered. She's actually doing better as of late though. My uncle is sickly.

Other then that I go out of my way to help people when they truly need help.

bribing people with food, alcohol, drugs, or fun.... congratulations, you are well on your way to becoming a successful child molester ....

you do realize you've made that joke twice, right?

it wasn't much funnier the second time.
Damn you need to chill. It isn't that serious bro, go out and get some fresh air or something lmao!

My mother is a great person, and has the ability to convince me to do pretty much anything. Even if I despise the idea. Is quite beautiful really, others can hardly make it past my walls.

Bringing up the idea of me being a molester of any type here in public however really offends me. Libel anyone?

Please apologize to me. You misunderstood what I wrote and now you've got me extremely offended.

Im going to sound really socially retarded here but sometimes I just don't want to make conversation with people I don't know. I'm not good at small talk.

One time I tried to eat at the bar of a restaurant by myself because my friend was bartending there so I thought it'd be fine ... But it was really busy so I sat there in silence most of the time and a couple of the other weird lonely people at the bar tried to talk to me and I swore it off forever.

It was just too much for me lol

I can agree with this. It's why I have a hard time just going to the bar or other public places alone. I just feel odd and turned off.

Certain things I do alone and certain things I don't. And I can honestly say I like to see loners sit alone at a restaurant gorging.
I wish I could be like them. I'm literally so awkward I'm sitting alone in the parking lot debating if I should just go through a fast-food drive through to avoid looking lonely and odd, though my thought process and issues are as weird as they come.

Let's switch lives.
Idk, sometimes I feel I have to bribe my friends with free food and drinks just to get them to leave so I can feel comfortable in public lol.


Most my friends do this to get me out. I can't help but think it's out of desperation so I normally decline.

I don't have good friends anymore. Nor a bunch of people around me other than family.

So, I live a free life as a wild thing and I blow whichever way the wind takes me.

That's unfortunate. I hope you eventually find some good friends in your life. Do you ever go out alone? I find it healthy to get out in public and realize not all humans are bad. Being around humans in public isn't bad, its the internet and media that makes us feel it is however. Its good you keep positive and seem to be happy with being solo and free thought.

I do most things alone. I'd rather do things alone than with people. I find that people are slow and waste my time and don't use the time efficiently. It annoys me how ignorant people are and I find no use for them when it comes to effectively executing a task.

There are a few people whom I'm best chums with that are efficient and task oriented and I appreciate that.

I shop alone and eat alone and go to uni alone and walk my dogs alone and do everything alone. It doesn't bother me. What bothers me is if I'm seated alone and I catch eyes through the room staring at me or when older men think they need to rescue me with their dull conversation from a table over. ?

I do like being with people that I like and it depends on the person what kind of activity I'd like to do with them. Otherwise I'm comfortable alone and it doesn't matter.
Its good you have standards and don't sell yourself short. Being self-sufficient is attractive, but compassion and understanding for fellow humans is just as attractive. I agree with you almost completely, just don't throw all other humans under the bus. Life is about teamwork and sticking together. Its the only way we humans will make it.
