I hate being alone hate it with a passion I like to be in company of people I think its because I feel so along at home becasue my mother refuses to speak to me and refuses to speak when im in the room so i try to get out as much as possible, this is why I love my job because there is always someone to chat to, I love my alone time with blaine but i just like being around a lot of people at once

There's just me and the cats at home but l have family and friends who pop over for coffee or ring for a chat most nights,  plus,   l have a busy social life as well but l do  love my quality time at home when i'm there

When my husband was alive he worked in finance so he was in bed early every night, so basically l spent much of my time on my own then. I've always said l won't have another man live with me because l have my own routine and having another person move in would spoil it

In the kitchen
It really depends. Rick goes away on union business several times a year and when he's gone, I love my alone-time. Even if I spend my time flopped on the couch with the cats and several good books, I'm fine with that. After a couple of days, though, I'm ready for him to come back home. And it's funny....when he is gone, that's when I don't want to be bothered with anybody. I tend to stay of the phone and I tend to stay away from people for the most part. I'll even take a day or two of vacation from work....it's my time. Most of the time, I'm doing housework or trying to do those tasks that I wouldn't normally do if he was home, like cleaning out bureau drawers or closet shelves. Experimenting in the kitchen.

We do tend to visit with friends often, though, and I enjoy that, too. We'll all go out to dinner or get together at one house for a night of games or playing cards and such, sometimes only once a month, but then we'll go through a spurt where we're with somebody every other week or so. Those times are always fun, too.

I love my husband and love spending time with him. I have to have my "alone time with cats" though. When I'm winding down, I want quiet. My dear husband tends to get chatty, so I usually stay up a little later than him.

As Charles Bukowski said " It's not that I dis-like people.I just feel better when they are not around."

I prefer to spend most of my time alone with m cat's and two dogs, and Larry. I am quite social, but really need more alone time than time with people. :wavey:
