Hi Annette,

I think it’s just a matter of balance :) You don’t want to be alone all the time and miss out on friends and family, nor do you want to spend every moment with other people and miss out on your own company.

You don't have to live up to other's expectations. I'm a mother of 3 adult children and LOVE being with my family, but I'm OK when they go home. My husband travels every week for work, so I find I'm alone most of the week. I don't mind it at all. I always find something to fill my time: crafts, bible study, etc. I'm 51. Is it OK to feel this way? I don’t mind being alone, although all my life I’ve thought I was weird for feeling like that; it IS easier. You don’t have to live up to other’s expectations.

It does feel wonderful to be alone. It's freedom. Having friends is great – but sometimes we have to understand that sparing a few hours alone may help ourselves to get our heads back together.

Loners are stereotyped as strange, wierd, ugly, lazy, dumb, just like smokers, drinkers, druggies, fatsos. I prefer to be alone, and it doesn't bother me one iota! Being alone is a physical thing. Being lonely is a mental thing. I like myself. I like being me. Less stress for me. Society stigmatizes and shuns loners as unsucessful people when in fact they don’t understand.
