I want to be alone.. forever?
It's a a taboo. People don't want to be "forever alone." But why do I? I picture myself traveling the world, sightseeing, and living alone. If I spend too much time with friends I start feeling.. trapped, so I distance myself. I find that when I am alone, either walking around in a store etc, I am more aware of life. I do eventually want a child, but I would want to be a single parent.. I don't mind. Actually, I'd prefer it. Why do I feel this way? It's not that guys don't like me, because they do. Actually, quite a few guys have tried starting something with me, but no matter how good looking or perfect, I find myself pinpointing things I dislike and eventually end up ignoring them and making them hate me. It's not only relationships.. it's the same thing with family. I don't feel love. I don't believe in it. I feel like I never want to get married.. or date or hang out with friends. It's not that I dislike people, because I don't. I like having people around, it's just people who try to get close to me that bothers me. Sometimes I feel like they know too much about me and end up pushing them away.. Why am I like this? and if I did end up being alone forever, would it be strange?
Why I feel lonely but at the same time I want to be alone?
I was recently questioning the same thing and I’m 31 years old. So firstly, I do not think this is a question of age, but rather a complex state of mind. By complex, I do not mean anything alarming; it is a state of mind many of us possess, but people are so willingly to label such states of mind as clinical depression, anxiety disorder, etc. I’d rather approach such delicate issue as ‘a state of mind’.I can tell my discovery for this question and perhaps it resonates with you as well. (in this case, you might feel less lonely;)I realized I feel lonely because I’m not surrounded with like-minded people. If I’d have a circle of people who would not make me tired in communicating with them, I would not feel the need of isolating myself. I have several friends whom I enjoy to be with under different occasions; the ones I party with, the ones I have dinner with, the ones I catch up for some mind-storm over a coffee, the ones I watch films with and talk about them, etc. but eventually I seem to lack the genuine connection I wish to have. Somehow all conversations are seem to be feeding them more than feeding me, or it is never equal. I don’t want to sound arrogant but I guess I don’t have people around me with an equivalent emotional intelligence level. This stems from my life style (I lead a nomadic life) so I think I don’t have much right to complain, this is a consequence of my life choice. Still, I do suffer. These realizations will shape my future decisions so I would say, whatever you are feeling, no matter how overwhelming it might get, will serve you a great purpose in your life. Try to surf through these intense feelings and somehow if you can manage to sit at the eye of the storm, you will figure it all out. I hear you.
Where is your favorite place when you want to be alone and why?
I live in the middle of a forest, my house built in a large clearing.You walk maybe a quarter of a mile south into the woods and you come across a much, much smaller clearing.This clearing is covered in jasmine flowers, a vine-like plant that usually grows on trees and logs, but for some reason has decided to take up residence as a carpet on the ground in this particular space.There is a large log in the middle of the clearing, perfectly shaped to sit on.In summer, the Jasmine blooms and the whole forest smells like the sweetest scent you have ever inhaled.The clearing is covered in a carpet of tiny white blossoms, growing up the sides of the log, but not on top, as if Mother Nature is creating a perfect spot to sit and read and think and just inhale the scent of summer.The trees around the clearing are pine, further adding to the wonderful aroma and environment.The sun filters through the trees, shaded enough to not burn my admittedly sensitive skin, but just enough to give the sensation of warmth and comfort and create a kaleidoscope effect on the forest floor.I sit.I think.I dream.I laugh at nothing and everything all at once.And for a few seconds before the world comes crashing in on me again, I breathe.
Is it normal to always want to be alone?
I seem to be abit different from everyone I like being alone, I cant understand why people get emotionally involved with each other and I really cant stand being around one person for too long. I have never met any1 like me. Is there a screw loose in my head?
Is it normal that I want to run away and go live alone somewhere in nature for the rest of my life?
It is quite natural to dream of it. I had the same dream quite often. I love nature. I am very happy alone. But I admit I am more of a village girl than a “wild nature” girl.But I don’t imagine eating ants or lizards, facing the lack of vitamins and vegetables, losing time to find wood for the fire. I am too busy to spend 10 hours a day at pure survival. I want to learn about nature, I could not do that “in nature”. I love my family too…..I lived in a log cabin in the forest for about ten years. I have enchanted memories of the foxes and deer in front of my window in the morning. However, it was just one hour from Paris in France. I had electricity and a shower with hot water. Half an hour from work.Look for a compromise, I would think, because we don’t have much time to do and learn everything we want.
MY boyfriend is my ESCAPE?
When things are bad at home he is what I run to. Everything has been so stressful lately and all i do is spend my time with him. I know he must get sick of me being around all the time but, when im not with him I feel so empty and alone i really dont know what to do.
I wanted to be with you alone, and talk about the weather?
...But traditions I can trace against the child in your face Won't escape my attention. AMAZING SONG. Love it! ♥
Why do I sometimes want to be just alone, away from everyone?
There could be multiple reasons why you want to be alone.I think you inherently know the reason why.Are you being honest with yourself? One of the biggest reasons why people might never grow as a human being is because they don't want to face the truth.They only become half honest or completely avoid the truth at all.As uncomfortable or "silly" the truth might actually be, it is far more rewarding to address it than to continue to accept lies.This comes from my own personal experience.Now that that is addressed, there is nothing wrong with wanting to be by yourself.As a fellow human being on a spinning rock in the middle of outer space, it would be absurd for wanting to be alone. The universe doesn't care except as long as you are happy.If you're happy with wanting to be alone, then so is the universe. The cool thing is, you can do just about whatever you want when you're alone as long as it makes you happy.You decide what makes you happy or not.So get out there and grab that alone time you desire and make the most of it.Do something that makes you happy and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Do married people ever just want to live alone? I’m married and have kids and for the most part life is happy. Every once in a while, I feel like packing up and living on my own.
During the Great Recession, constantly dealing with panicked clients, I felt emotionally smashed some days. Driving home, after a long day, I fantasized about escaping.Knowing my mood swings, my wife probably fantasized about me escaping also.Just pack up. Head out on a long road trip. Maybe come back. Away from all the pressures of business, marriage, family, everything.It sounded enticing.I thought, “Where would I go? Where would I live? Oh, and how would I pay the bills?”Oh yeah, there’s that.So I drove home, took a walk with my wife, enjoyed dinner, and talked over the day. Which for me was nearly always a repeat of the previous one. Hell.Some nights I talked to one of grown our kids on the phone.And by the time I went to bed felt glad for one more day at home.My wife and I learned something, though, about our relationship. We both need space so we don’t feel suffocated by the other.We have some separate friends and interests. Sometimes we include the other in those activities and sometimes not.On weekends we spend time together but also a lot of time engaging in the activities we enjoy separately.So when we catch up at the end of the day we’re glad to see each other.We build in times of escape so we don’t need to escape.We recently attended my fiftieth high school reunion. Yeah, I’m in shock. I mean, how the hell did that happen?The next night we sat in the living room watching a movie and enjoying dinner. After the movie ended I looked over at her and said, “Wow, I look at all the girls I dated and could have ended up with. I shudder.”“Of course, they’re probably thinking the same thing about me.”She laughed.“You know, after all this time, you’re still the one.”She smiled, “I’m glad.”And I’m glad too. Because really, some of those girls probably were thinking about me, “Wow, I dodged that bullet.”You can escape to find love. Or you can build in escape and rediscover it.
