Going everywhere alone

Post Reply New Topic

How many people have no friends or acquaintances and do things alone? I like to shop on my own and go to movies and have heard a lot of people with AS do this by themselves.

Being a loner myself I would feel comfortable eating out alone but not going to a bar.

How many others do things like this?

With me its the same way most of the time. I enjoy the freedom so I can do and go as I want to. If I had actually friends to go places with and do the things I like, they would have to be girls or guys that are not into typical guy stuff.

is better than going nowhere with everyone else

I go everywhere alone and have no friends.

I shop alone and go to the movies alone but I never go to bars or restaurants.

I'm a loner.

Last person I had who went out and did things with me was someone who (like me) just wanted someone to hang out with. I'm sure he found me odd, but we'd watch TV, ride motorcycles, get something to eat, etc. We had a few common interests, which is what made it work. In a way, we probably used each other but it was a mutual use thing.

Finding someone you connect with is just so hard.

It's getting to the point where I actually prefer my own company. Most of my meals are eaten alone and a trip to the movies with someone is an exception rather than the rule. At least I get to eat all the candies

Always. with other people it is harder to make plans beause of their plans or they show up late.

I'm a loner also. I have gone out with others but the relationships don't seem to last. I prefer just staying at home.

I've always been a loner, even when I was married, lol!

No one in my life except my mother, so I go everywhere and do everything by myself.

In my younger years, I even went to bars by myself. I would sit at the bar and drink my beers by myself. Then I'd walk home by myself.

It's been 10 years since my last 'romantic involvement'. Been 6 years since I've tried to be social and have friends.

It's so much simpler now. But also a lot more sad.

I mostly do things alone, though I sometimes socialise at meetups.

I also do thing mostly by myself. I have a few friends but they have work and other friends and i usually go out by myself and watch movies (etc).

I don't have a car so I go places with my mom and little brother. My little brother and I share the same interests, so I'm not really lonely. But sometimes I do get left somewhere alone. I don't really mind. I prefer to be alone most of the time. However, when I go to cons and stuff, I like to go with someone or participate in conversation between other con-goers when I can. I feel more comfortable at cons and any other events where nerds converge.

I used to be like this. I used to go see movies by myself, go to the mall by myself and just wander around watching the people around me interact and be happy. I used to eat out by myself too. Only recently have I become confident enough to go to a bar alone. It's still difficult and anxiety-inducing, but I'm gonna get over it.

It's really not a fun way to live (at least to me). Humans are social creatures. I don't think we're meant to lead solitary existences.

I used to, and still do a lot of things alone when I feel I can get away with it. The thing is, however, that people give me a lot of grief for wandering off by myself because it's not safe. I totally understand that they're worried about my safety, but...sometimes I like to be alone. It's not that I don't have friends, though, it's that I don't feel like I ought to subject them to what I feel like doing because they have different interests and schedules. If I want to go to the park and wander around I'm not going to ask anyone else to go with me because they probably have something more important to do. Same with going to get food, so I generally eat alone.

However, I agree with the whole not feeling comfortable going to a bar alone. Drunk people are scary.

Since I still live with my parents, and I can't drive, I usually go out to places with my parents. Whenever we get there, I always go off by myself and have them call me when they're ready to leave. I find it quite enjoyable.

That being said, I'd really like to go places with some friends. I only rarely get to do this. School was my only social life, but since I graduated I'll probably never see many of those people in person again. I'm going to have to start over and make new friends in college, and I'm not sure if I'll have much luck with that.
