I hate being alone

especially if they bring fleas along.

Know the feeling Alone for the first time in my life not liking it at all, too quiet even running the power tools

Yes! One day I hope to own a pet.

I wonder if a hobby can really replace human companionship. I used to have hobbies and interests. But when I became very lonely, I felt like I did not have any energy.

It has worked for me in the past. As a child, I spent most of the time without friends, but I was content in spend the whole day reading encyclopaedias, watching cartoons, drawing and writing. Unfortunately, those things lost their appeal once I reached 15 years.

Nowadays, sometimes I find something very interesting to do (like playing The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword or planning my own budget) and I forget about everything else: I do not feel lonely or bored at all. But my interests never last more than a week.

One thing I found in common between hobbies and human companionship, though: they both get boring after some time. Regardless of how much I want to have companionship, I really need to spend some time alone to feel better. And when I am doing something I like, I eventually need to stop, too. The only constant is my tedium.

I have this feeling too. I actually think I have developed a pathological fear of being alone over the past few years. It drives me to distraction and so I never get anything useful done when I'm alone. I see everyone around me spending all this time together and I just want the same thing. Not much to ask out of life is it? :/

That is exactly what happened when I lived alone before. Had no energy. It was horrible...

i can vouch for "better living through chemistry." the drugs kept my head above water long enough for me to learn to swim.
