Ron, no—please—come back, come back!

[Zeffy]

What do you feel about being alone? Do you like being alone? Or are you the kind of person that likes to be surrounded with people?

I don't like being alone, yet I don't like to be surrounded with too many people. Even if I'm accompanied by one person only, I'd be happy.

*and please excuse the Harry Potter related title. xP

 

[PlatinumDude]

Most of the time, I like being alone, but I don't mind being with others.

 

[ShinyMeowth]

I hate being surrounded with people. Being with 1-2 others is okay, and being alone is okay too.

 

[Pokemon Trainer Touko]

I hate being alone, but I also dislike being surrounded by loads of people. >n<

 

[Hiche..]

I don't mind being surrounded with a group of friends, close friends, no matter how large the group is. I also don't mind being alone for a while.

 

[Uecil]

Sometimes I like being alone and some other times I do not like being alone.
However, I do not like being surrounded by loads of people.

 

[Corvus of the Black Night]

I have more difficulty being with other people than I do being alone. It may sound selfish but I can become a lot more concentrated on my own endeavors if I sever myself off from the world. Of course, there are a few people who are always welcome, like my family and my closest friends, but I tend to be very introverted most of the time.

If I get too lonely but don't want to be with someone, like if I'm really upset over something, I always have my cat to pet. She's a good friend.

 

[eightbit]

I like brief bursts of company regularly.

 

[Meganium]

I love being with a bunch of people. I despise being lonely. It makes me depressed. When I'm with my kitties, I don't feel that lonely, because I feel comfortable.

 

[mondays suck]

Call me weird, but I feel more alone in a crowd than when I'm actually alone.
Ideal is being surrounded by a low amount of people, enough not to run out of topics and eventually get annoyed at them quickly but please not too many.

 

[Guy]

There are certain times when I like having time alone, but most of the time I actually perfer being around a crowd. I'm a people-person, so I enjoy company and interacting with people. If I'm alone for too long, I usually get bored too quickly or I'm left wondering what someone else somewhere else is doing right at that moment.

 

[Palkia]

Having time alone for me is very important. I'd rather do something by myself than in a group.

 

[marcc5m]

When am I not alone? I prefer being alone. Or with just a few people. But mostly alone. Heck, I'm alone right now.

 

[mikey]

I like being alone sometimes, but I also like to be around people. Being alone all the time would make me feel depressed :/

 

[Charizard★]

I dislike being surrounded by people, and I really would choose being alone then in a group of people. If it was one other person, I might choose another person but for the most part I wouldn't.

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

It depends on my mood and what I'm doing, if I'm studying then with people but if I am playing a game then by myself.

 

[Mr Cat Dog]

For the past couple of days, I've pretty much been alone due to my parents' holiday to Venice and my brother, and a fair number of my friends, still attending university. It's been nice, for the most part, as I have a lot of stuff I need to catch up on - work, mainly - and the relative lack of distractions means it's easier to accomplish the tasks I have for the day. (I say relative as, well, I still have internet access: procrastination ahoy!)

However, while I'm grateful for this 'me time', as I've been calling it, I'm glad it's going to be over in a few more days. There are times where I like being by myself, but there are many others when I want to be with people, whether it's chilling with my friends, talking with my family, or even getting involved with university discussions and extra-curricular activities with people I don't really care about. It's all just a case of finding the balance between all of this.

 

[Rainy Day]

It's usually a blessing... since people are some of the most obnoxious and exhausting entities ever. Sometimes it can be lonely, but I'd say that the good far outweighs the bad.

 

[Margot]

I love hanging out with people, but I need my me time too. I gotta have my time to get my homework done, chillax, watch some tv, and read. Otherwise I get burnt out.

 

[Cherrim]

I love being alone. I'm definitely an introvert and having time to myself always gives me a chance to collect my thoughts or do something that I really enjoy that's hard to do with someone else there. (Like play a one-player game [especially a handheld one] or draw [since I hate when people look over my shoulder when I do art].) When I am around people, if there are too many I just find it kind of tiring. I prefer maintaining a few close friendships over having a lot of them, but I also sometimes like having more than one person with me when I'm with friends because sometimes it's nice to have a few minutes to yourself out of a day with others, or if you aren't really close with the person, awkward silences just suck. :<

I've been alone a lot over the past four months (or even about a year, really), though, and it does get really lonesome. I definitely couldn't do this as long term as I have been. Even as it is, I really need to get out of the house and see my friends (who are all busy with finals), though I'm thankful my family is here at least.
