Mmmhm, always! It refuels me.

I can attest to that.

For most people sharing your life with significant others, in whatever form, is desirable. Humans are built for relationship and even the most 'independent' person relies on others for something. As someone who has lived most of his adult life living alone, I can assure you that if there were not family and friends within reach, the loneliness would be unbearable. I love being alone, but only because it contrasts with being in company and because I know I can find a place to be where there are others if I need them and I also know that people will call on me for company and conviviality.

For those trapped in bad relationships, I hope you can escape, but if your life is just too busy, ask for help in find the peaceful retreat for a while.

I enjoy my own company, I recharge on my own.

Yes, I think yes - just yes.

It's just more convenient and peaceful to be alone.

Balance is everything, tbh. Having an option to be alone when you need it is very important but so are meaningful interactions. The longer you live like a hermit, the harder it can be to get back to society even if you'd want to. I heard that it's also very important in the elderly because interacting with other people helps preventing decline of cognitive functions.

Hmmm... Interesting. I can see how that can be true, but I find peace with the people I've chosen to be in my life, so I think it depends on with whom you surround yourself...

At the same time, I cherish my alone time, too. ;)

I suppose that can happen. I try to appreciate both being alone and being with others.

I think there might be something to that. 😒

Being alone is like a BK restaurant: where you have it your way all the time.

In other words, you are fed up of people.

Anytime I ever express anything like this, I'm accused of sounding like a serial killer on the order of Elliot Rodger who is often cited to me by name even though he was from several years ago. I'm not like that guy and I'm no serial killer, damn it. And I don't sound or act like one. And I don't have social anxiety. F**K!
