Posted by tizianiIdk, 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.
Let's switch lives.

Posted by Soul*Yes. I have Life path 7 and Sun in the 12th problems haha
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?

Posted by irreconcilabledifferencesPeople 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 am that creepy dude in the corner of middle eastern restaurants
i am that creepy dude at specialty coffee shops

Posted by SoulI 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.

Posted by HareYou can't really say that. Bob Marley was a Scorpio moon and loved people.
Soul ain't no Scorpio Moon...![]()


Posted by cheekyfaerieI'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.
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?

Posted by HareI 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.Posted by MIIeFiskMy 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.Posted by HareIs that anymore strange than a buzzed cut sasquatch in fishing waders?Posted by MIIeFiskHobbits wear plaid?Posted by irreconcilabledifferencesI'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.Posted by MIIeFiskthe plaid makes sense now
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.

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

Posted by oEUoI'm starting to want the same for myself. The thing is I end up just being some creepy sipping on drinks in the shadpws. With friends I feel alive and have a blast.Posted by SoulI used to like going to bars alone so I could walk around and meet people.Posted by cheekyfaerieI'd rather watch YouTube for 7 hours straight then go to the bar alone without any friends to chat and sing with lol.

Posted by tizianiThe 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.Posted by SoulWhat happening to kayaking/canoeing?
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.
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

Posted by SoulI 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.

Posted by tizianiI've done it, though not often.
Restaurant alone?
....Just me?

Posted by Soul...it sounds like it. How old are you that you need your mom to go with you to the doc? :/ Time to adult, dear.
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.

Posted by xXxAliciaXxXI 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 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

Posted by SoulI 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.
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.

Posted by DivaCanLeoSo you don't believe a family should stick together and gain enjoyment from doing things together and being together?Posted by Soulyuck

Posted by CopperDoveSorry if I sound too preachy. I'm just trying to deal with being the odd one out in this situation.

Posted by DivaCanLeoWhy? It makes me feel less nervous then I buy us lunch. I don't understand why that's so bad. Its a good thing in my eyes.Posted by Soulwhat i spend every weekend and maybe 3 nights a week at my parents house and do everything with my siblings.Posted by DivaCanLeoSo you don't believe a family should stick together and gain enjoyment from doing things together and being together?Posted by Soulyuck

Posted by DivaCanLeoI 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.Posted by Soulcause it shows codependence. nobody wants to babysit you dude. you'll expect your wife to do that for you tooPosted by DivaCanLeoWhy?

Posted by SoulThat'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.Posted by CopperDoveSorry if I sound too preachy.

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


Posted by idgaf2Damn you need to chill. It isn't that serious bro, go out and get some fresh air or something lmao!
lunch, dinner with the family, friends....ok..... sure
holding mommy's hand while dr. rosenberg takes a look at the funny pimple on your butt cheek.... you might want to start rethinking your relationships
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.

Posted by idgaf2Posted by Soulno, grow a set of testicles. and a sense of humor while you're at it. that shit was funny as fuck.Posted by idgaf2Damn 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.
don't mistake my matter-of-fact demeanor as me actually giving a fuck.
i actually toned it down a bit for your momma-boy ass
hold up, wait a sec. i may be getting ahead of myself.
do you have a driver's permit yet at least?

Posted by idgaf2I'm just being a smart ass. Obvously.
fuck it, i'm still not apologizing.
but i will gtfo since i won't agree with you.
i just had to let you know that i think the way you are presenting yourself is kind of lame.
you don't have to agree with me either.


Posted by brianafayI 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.
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

Posted by everlynnI 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.
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.


Posted by RosaknowsyaThat'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.Posted by SoulMost my friends do this to get me out. I can't help but think it's out of desperation so I normally decline.Posted by tizianiIdk, 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.
Let's switch lives.
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.

Posted by RomJobIts 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.
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.
