What do you do in your spare time? If your very VERY religious and don't mind living like a Monk the Catholic Church has a few orders you may like.

Same here. I don't socialize any more, haven't seen or spoken my 'past-friends' for years and I feel perfectly fine about it.

Not sure if you are serious about the church, I guess you are, hehe. Personally this has crossed my mind as well, several times. I'm not religious at all though, but if I was I would definitely consider it.

I've been seriously considering the loner's lifestyle. It's a lot nicer, and more comfortable to be honest. It's just easier when I don't have to be around people all the time.

I feel the same way, Chief. I have always been happy to be on my own and doing my own stuff. I've always found the NT "You-don't-really-feel-like-that-you-only-think-you-do" attitude both annoying and insulting. I have always been aloof and reclusive. At least from age 3 or 4, that I can actually remember.

My interests: Pets, reading, writing, videogaming, thinking, daydreaming, surfing the net, spacing out. My interests and mindscape are where I am by choice.

Unfortunately I'm not religious, nor Catholic. I have often thought that nuns have it made: They live in a safe place with a roof over their head and food, they're free from the stress and nagging of society and what they do is, in a way, their special interest. If I could find something monastery alike just within my interests in stead, that'd be perfect.

alone is so good. every once in a while I need to do something. maybe the local home flower show this weekend. quiet and not too crowded with fresh air. I like to people watch just not people interact so much. thank god for headphones.

fong ku !

By choice, I now live a beautiful existence socially isolated in the hills and woods, with the wild things. I am no longer in touch with former acquaintances - never had friends in the normal sense. Just the thought of having a friend seems a burden. I am not a misanthrope, and am capable of socializing, but chose not to.

All my time is spare time :!:

, but there is never enough of it to do all the things I have in mind. I run in the woods, admire the color of the leaves, gather mushrooms, daydream, grow plants, pick berries and make jelly, observe the wildlife, bake bread, listen to the frogs, take photos, surf the internet, read books, saw and chop firewood…

I saw a doctor last year for the first time in a number of years. In response to his questions I let it be known that I was completely isolated socially. He wanted me to immediately consult a psychiatrist :roll:

With people I have to deal with often (like at a job or class), it's usualy gotta be me being someone I'm not. 'Normal' people have used just about every method on me. I'm not allowed to be myself. At least Church leave me alone.

So yes, I hate offline socialiseing.

I have a small group of friends with whom I do things. Our regular, weekly activities are fine, but it is very difficult to get me to go along on something else. Movies are easier, because it's really just everybody going to do the same thing at the same time, together.

Other non-work activities for me are really just variations on work: I volunteer a lot, which involves working with, rather than socializing with colleagues.

generally try to integrate socialization with my work day. casual aquaintances who can be useful to me and vice versa, suffice. when it comes to gatherings, i prefer family, such as on holidays. only day of the year it bugs me is new years eve.

Wanting to be alone, is probably the thing I find the easiest to do. Just thinking of socializing is excruciating enough.

There are many times i've found myself wanting to be alone (most of today), but i would die if i never got to interact. i really enjoy my close friends, if not all the time. also how can you be sure you always want to be alone? you do come on wrongplanet, dont you? online socializing is still socializing, minus all the painful awkwardness! i think with the right company, no one wants to be alone.
