How much time do you think you would enjoy being alone on a deserted island?

Let's say you would have all the commodities, so survival is not an issue. You just do not have any human contact, not even SW type ;). Would you even enjoy it for a little? Or that is something that you always wanted?

What would be the things that you would do?

I would enjoy it for few days. I like my own company so that won't affect me much for a little while. Deserted island sound fun.. I can swim, surf, take lots of pics, walk around etc..
After few days thought maximum a week I would be wanting to interact with others. However if I had wifi and able to access internet and social media I can last longer...My second job requires alot " alone time " so that could work while I am there but need internet and a phone
@sumojumo Then a week would be more than enough lol. Yes please would love to hear how you go. Gin and tonic..Yummy

@Awfullybrave I will give a report, let's hope for the best.

Yeah, I am an avid admirer of gin and tonic - it always gives me a "fuck it" view of life, I do not know why :D but that is exactly why I love it.
@sumojumo Yup. Alcohol has that influence on me too🤭 Sometimes that's what you need! "Fuck it view of life" lol

As much as i dislike lots of random people, i really like the close connection with just one special person. If i had that on an island that had all the commodities, then i'd be totally happy :)

@sumojumo Thanks! ... well actually i don't now but if i did, i'd be totally happy in that environment. Just her, me, healthy living, surfing and dolphins... i couldn't imagine it better than that 😊

@SW-User sounds really cool, I think I would start surfing as well :D.

I technically live like that now. So long as its habitable and has good resources. Whats the issue.
sumojumo · 36-40, M
by choice? or are you struggling?
Peppa · 31-35, F
@sumojumo i live in a city people are suspicious of people that randomly talk to them. And people arent so polite anyways so you really have to get used to talking to noone.
My neighbours i don't talk to either simply because they're unemployed and make assumptions about my life including wanting to borrow money from me 😡
If i was on an island it might be fun at the beginning but eventually id probably go crazy. As you either talk to yourself or become delirious if you're malnourished. I once read for self preservation the mind needs to keep active. So having a routine is important. Attempting to make and build things,chores too.

@Peppa sounds bad, did you find a good community online? I think there are tons that would accept you with loving arms, what do you think?

I think I could enjoy it for about a week and then need some human interaction.
sumojumo · 36-40, M
@ravenwind43 I would put my own barrier probably even lower, but maybe if I could stretch it to a week :)

@sumojumo 🙂 I hear you. The solitude appeals to my sometimes inner introvert.

These days, probably a good 2 weeks

@sumojumo looot of BS on both the work and personal life front. I'm kinda sick of most everyone.
sumojumo · 36-40, M
@Starcrossed 🤗 - I know it is only virtual, unfortunately, the best I can do. The storms pass and wash the BS away...
Starcrossed · 46-50, F
Thanks @sumojumo 🤗
Only for a day and night. I would miss people too much after that.
sumojumo · 36-40, M
@Gingerbreadspice most of the people probably would, yes, I think even the people that think they are "lone wolves" would not be as brave as they think :)

I would not enjoy that
sumojumo · 36-40, M
@deadgerbil many people think they would, but sincerely, I do not think the reality is so rosy

@SW-User agreed, bugs are pretty lousy, even worse than volleyballs :D
Mah nipples would be on full beam 24-7
sumojumo · 36-40, M
@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout how long could you maintain that?
Well.. prolly not so much while I sleep.. @sumojumo
sumojumo · 36-40, M
@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout But even when you are awake, where would you get the stimuli, just your imagination?
