I wonder... can anybody beat my record?! It's 1980 on average, by the end of next week! So far I've collected massive depression and anxiety, but I'm gonna catch 'em all!

ps: 168 hours each week, so just subtract the amount of hours you spent with company and multiply it by 12 (amount of weeks).

Well, I live with my parents, so I've never been alone in that regard even though there's been minimal interaction. Excluding that, it's been a year or so since I've talked to anybody else IRL.

I assume you're home-schooled?

Hmm, I can't work that out, since I don't remember what I did each week and who I saw. But I spend more evenings alone than I do daytimes.

It largely depends on your definition of "alone" I had a job this summer in a library, so I was WITH two other people. But we did not talk much. Technically you could say I was alone all summer.

I live in supported housing with others. I wish I lived on my own.

No, I've finished with school. I just don't leave the house, because I've no need to.

haha, that's the same thing I tell myself.

It's kinda true but sometimes I feel bad about it. Like maybe I should have a need to :'( or at least a 'want to'.

I'm not sure. I did spend a lot of time alone, though.

It's an interesting phenomenon, isn't it? As of May, I was working at a new job, with a LOT of coworkers I didn't particularly get along with... so during lunch breaks and coffee breaks, I'd spend my time alone.

If my job doesn't count as being alone then, in the two weeks of my summer holiday I was probably alone around 250-300 hours. If my job does count as being alone then the number is.... high.

Working as a software developer is great when it comes to this. I can spend all day staring into my monitors and ignore the two people I ( unfortunately share an office with. ) There are still a few meetings though. And occasionally one of them needs help with a problem. But mostly I can be in my own bubble. Which is nice, I like my bubble.
