What happens to you psychologically while alone?

[Idiotastic]

I prefer being alone actually,so no problem here.

PS: I really enjoy your threads.

I just start talking to myself and to my cats, i find myself disagreeing with alot of my own views and changing them quite alot when im bored and alone, its kinda cool.
I dont go batshit insanely paranoid but any bang in the house and I usualy check if someones knocking on or something. I love being on my own, video games, films, guitars, books.
Or if I have the option to have a party ill have one then and there.

I'm generally alone for as long as I can be. It helps me to think more clearly, I find. With other people I have far more confused thoughts as to how I appear to that person or people (not physically) and it leaves me exhausted after brief amounts of time. I can rarely take more than 3 hours with people before I get angsty and stressed.
Alone, I don't need to bother with other people and can exist on my own mind. I find that communicating with yourself is an easy way to get an interesting and engaging conversation going on.

I just revert to the mentality of a child. I don't wanna go into dark areas of the house alone, so I actually carry a torch with me. I'm always hesitant to go anywhere, so I'll sit downstairs for ages, knowing I need to go up to bed but not wanting to because it's dark up there.

Paranoia too. Every little sound that I didn't make, I assume it's the work of either a robber, murderer, rapist, or a monster.

Get World of Warcraft. You will never feel alone again. Sure, you may lose self respect but who needs that anyway?

OT: When im left alone I usually just play Minecraft, distracts me until someone comes home and then I do not need it anymore.

I suck at socializing. True story. Being alone is not exactly new, and it doesn't really change anything.

 

[darkstarangel]

For me I just live in my own little reality & have mentally simulated conversations & experiences with certain people.

I know it sounds weird but I was raised to be alone, having a mother thats a single parent working two jobs & a brother who kept to himself till he moved out, I had to adapt to the isolation & this is what kept me going. The trouble is I never grew out of it & actually prefer solidarity as a comfort & to recharge from people who can suck the life out of me with their incessant chatter.

I gain focus and to a certain extent...maturity.

Then I am surrounded by people and my mind reverts to that of a child.

 

[sycoesis]

my taste in music changes drastically from pretty much everything off 102.9 to nothing but classical also i crave more and more protein when im alone not sure why

I live much of my life alone, so the opposite is true for me. I can happily go on a vacation and not leave the house for the week with the exception of a necessary grocery run. As such, it is not uncommon for me to spend days without saying a word.

When in public or groups larger than 3 or so people I feel very uncomfortable. I feel I need to talk or contribute but seldom have anything to say.

So to answer the question, when I'm alone I feel at home and comfortable. Free to do what I please without judgement or consequence. I'm happy.

 

[Poopster]

if i'm alone, i usually think of things i'm never going to be...

 

[OniaPL]

I like to be alone. I also like to spend time with my friends, but I have no desire for constant company. Also, masses of people annoy me.

 

[Thedayrecker]

Eh, I'm used to being alone, so I just sit and think.

Or read.

Or play videogames.

 

[Mr Pantomime]

I always hate being alone. I dont really socialise that much, but being in a place without everyone else really freaks me out

 

[ThreeWords]

I find my focus changes from people to things; I think less about the outside world and become able to give a single idea all my attention. I like being alone, but not for too long.

 

[CharrHearted]

You have no idea how happy I would be if I was left alone for a few days. ^_^

Originally, it's a relief, but after prolonged periods of time I start thinking philosophically, resulting in severe depression.

 

[Creator002]

To be honest, nothing happens. I continue as normal. Actually, I prefer solitude to company. To me, its like a warm blanket.

This is me. I stayed at my cousin's house while they were away for a week. Only time I got a bit anxious was when I noticed the money pot was drying up.
