Posted by RosaknowsyaMy honest opinion is I look around and see a world built by humans. Together we have accomplished so much. At the same time some of these things we accomplished may have came from one single lone mind. I believe life, existence, and the universe itself has a beautiful balance controlling it. As long as people like us both exist, we can continue to exist. No matter what life finds a way to work together in any sense.Posted by SoulPosted 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.
I'm always out and about alone. Every day. I love it. Smells of freedom. Smells like me.
About not having friends I consider close that is something else. I don't think I'm an easy friend to have because of my nature.
It's probably just as healthy or detrimental to be your way of wanting people as my way is to want to explore the unknown alone.
But your way has contacts and mine has me. What do you think?

Posted by Cancan26I was looking for a pic to describe being solo, and for some reason that picture made me stop say awwwww lol. Perfect pic to describe being solo or not imo. Anyway its a new awesome feature with creating a thread. I had to crop the pic a few times to get it to fit right, but you can use any pic you want as a thread picture.
first of all ...how did you put that awesome ass picture up there— 😄 ...and to answer your question I do almost everything alone ...I just like being alone ...even though I am very chatty and friendly ..I just feel relief at doing activities by myself
Posted by MontgomeryThis is why I love having a close group of friends. Preferably other misfits so we can all run around and suck at life together.
Wonder how many do a lot things alone because they really don't want to hear
input from others like...
... omg do always eat that much?
... omg I didn't know you got the porn channel?!
... omg why are you hanging out with that married guy?
... omg why are there so many Vodka bottles in your recycle?
People have a tendency to interfere with our pet vices. 😄
Posted by Ram416You and literally every other person on dxpnet lol. I'm actually somewhat shocked. This whole time I thought I was calling decent people soulless haters. In reality everyone truly is a soulless hater lmao!
Yes I do most things alone.It's gotten to a point where, as I get older, I prefer it that way almost 24/7 now.
Posted by ImpulsvDxpnet is pretty close. At least I can chose to not feed it or care about it when its bad. You actually have to take care of a cute fluffy creature.

Posted by outofdarknessMaybe me being ENFP is the reason I like to be around people more then not?
I strongly prefer to do everything by myself. INFJ's represent!

Is this truly where all the lost souls was up? No one here rather do stuff with people, and as a human that came thousands of years thanks to teamwork that worries me. Or maybe I'm just too fixed and humans actually progressed to a point we can fully function alone. It just seems a lonely path.click to expand

Posted by Soulcustomer service has helped me with my small talk. that and just plain old time and practice. while i dont prefer to make small talk, i can. i just dont usually vie for such situations and do take that into account when considering what to do alone. sometimes i really dont mind the small talk. like someone else said, i also ride the introvert/extrovert fence so there really is no telling with me. it can be refreshing to just exchange small pleasantries but then again, thats assuming a certain time frame. when i would go to a bar alone after work, i generally kept to myself unless someone i really took interest in spoke to me directly. then, depending on how i feel i might say, "I'm sorry but I'm just trying to enjoy a few drinks alone after work. But thank you, it was nice meeting you." or "Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah" lol i like people more in spirts so im kinda like a cat. I'll come to you. lolPosted 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 DamnataTbh I don't really care lol. I've gone months hidden in my house alone. Given there are always humans, so I'm technically never 100% alone.Posted by SoulYou keep going at this topic with the mentality of "people who do stuff alone have some grudge against humanity/ don't want to connect/ etc".Posted by Ram416You and literally every other person on dxpnet lol.

Some people, because they get so involved with humanity and interacting with others...need a lot of downtime. If we're talking connecting to people and not just passing time superficially...then I can't see anyone seriously claim they don't absorb others' energy and need to rest.
I'm saying this as the most extraverted person I know in my circle of friends.

Posted by topesbless you sweetie. keep up the good work!
Single dad doing it solo with my 2yo. When u can do it with rampant tonsillitis followed closely by the world's fiercest gastro who needs others. I got this..
Posted by TheLibraMudrahaha headphones are the best! i like you. i had a lot of libra friends growing up. i think we'd get along. big time.
When I was younger, I always had to do things in a group or at least with one other person.
I prefer alone. I'm quite busy studying and with all my 4 year olds activities. At the end of the week, the hospital seems to have sucked up a lot of my emotions. Energy, etc. I just need to recharge from humans on my time off.
Hiking, shopping, listening to music on the floor in my living room, alone. I do like studying in this cool cafe. It feels social but I don't have to talk lol. Just headphones.
I go through periods where I do feel like getting out with people. Pretty much just have a small group of people I let in. It's just better that way. It also depends on who persuades me to go out, though. There's just some that are so fun to adventure with you can't say no

I don't feel people hold a grudge, I just feel technology and internet has driven people farther away from each other. This thread is proof of it. My friends are the same also, no one likes to do stuff together. Most people uncomfortable around other people, and uncomfortable about themselves.

Posted by Nevermorei adore this. this is exactly how i feel. one of the best decisions i ever made was taking an Air BnB hosts invitation to meet her at a friends co-op, a place where a bunch of people, mainly artists, live together openly. there were a couple of people performing on a makeshift stage in a barn. my host was a lovely 50-something yo woman who quickly introduced me to a few people and began mingling. i wandered around looking at everything before the performances and eventually wandered into the barn. it was very lowkey so i felt pretty comfortable. it made me feel like this:
Posted by DamnataI just find it sad is all. I like seeing people who feel the urge to stick together. Times have made us drift apart, and the need for humans becomes less and less the more we progress. In theory there will be a time absolutely no humans are needed at all. This kind of sucks for us, assuming we are all human here.Posted by SoulI don't know, that's not the reality I see here at all.Posted by DamnataTbh I don't really care lol.

Uncomfortable about themselves can't be gauged from an outside perspective accurately.
I assume the same mindset applied with the invention of the telephone. Oh no, I can't see my friends anymore, I have to hear their voices through this...thing. The telephone is driving people farther away from each other.
I feel we get more easily drained than ancestors cuz there's way too many choices to be made and way too many stimuli on a daily basis. But people in the past didn't have the excuse of technology to not go out and interact with people. Shyness always existed, antisocial behavior too, etc...so it's just all another cop-out (with the exception of people who are really introverted and that is their way and they enjoy it).click to expand

Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing, only a signal shown, and a distant voice in the darkness; So on the ocean of life, we pass and speak one another, only a look and a voice, then darkness again and a silence.
i took a seat to watch an AMAZINGLY animated accordion player (female) who sang some unique, energetic tales, and a one man band which was my first time seeing either and a complete joy. at one point a man about my host's age asked me to dance, so i danced. and i danced as if no one knew me, because they didn't, and i had the time of my life. and went back to my Air BnB room. alone. it was lovely.click to expand

Posted by Montgomeryair BnB is a bed and breakfast service you can use where people rent out rooms in their own home or MIL housing or even an entire floor to yourself. so instead of staying at hotels, you stay with normal every day people who are generally fantastic hosts. the last lady i stayed with made her own fresh granola and had a beautiful garden with CHICKENS! ? my bff in San Francisco turned me onto it and very much prefer it to hotels. generally cheaper for better accomodations.Posted by AbbyNormalPosted by Nevermorei adore this. this is exactly how i feel. one of the best decisions i ever made was taking an Air BnB hosts invitation to meet her at a friends co-op, a place where a bunch of people, mainly artists, live together openly. there were a couple of people performing on a makeshift stage in a barn. my host was a lovely 50-something yo woman who quickly introduced me to a few people and began mingling. i wandered around looking at everything before the performances and eventually wandered into the barn. it was very lowkey so i felt pretty comfortable. it made me feel like this:
