Solitude

Black Ace

Trooper
It's been the third or fourth consecutive saturday that I've been home alone, my parents being either gone away with business, either at a wedding, and my brother being of to college. And I hate it. I'm miserable. I started to hate solitude. You know, a couple of hours for yourself are OK, but when does hours turn into days, now that really sucks. So,hopefully, I'll be out more and I'll be able to stop this streak of loneliness.
So, conclusion? Don't let yourself get alone. It bites. Always find someone to do something with. Trust me, you're better of that way. And don't waste any moment of your life, like I'm doing now. Life just flyes by...

Here´s a song for ya [!--emo&:nana:--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/lambada.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'lambada.gif\' /][!--endemo--]
I'm sitting here alone in darkness
waiting to be free,
Lonely and forlorn I'm crying
I long for my time to come
death means just life
Please let me die in solitude
 
Well, I guess you are learning how to deal with solitude. I actually like it, no one to bother you. you can start writing, reading, going out for walks, look at porn... so many things, people get in the way most of the time. So ENJOY your solitude insteado f feeling sorry for yourself, because there is always time for that.
 
Ace, I can understand you. I'm feeling very lonely too at the moment, basically because I lack a circle of friends.
 
I have a circle of friends, but they're all at Stephy's. Actually, I don't care. I like being alone. That way I can do silly things like make up the words to the Star Wars soundtracks.

Listen to this man, Ace. [!--emo&:p--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/tongue.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'tongue.gif\' /][!--endemo--] Solitude can be great...but being around people is always a good thing as well (unless they're idiots).

It's kind of odd that this topic would be here right now....

I've never felt as alone in my life as I do right now. I'm alot like Perun, in that I don't really have a circle of friends here with whom I can pass the time.
This little university town is so small that everyone already knows you....

This leaves me with a few options:
1. Throw myself into academics (not fun on a Saturday, but I'm trying)
2. Wallow in my own self-pity (not fun at any time)
3. Watch TV (which would make me just about the biggest loser on the planet)
4. Go try to meet some people (interesting idea...)

If I wasn't so much of an introvert, I might try option 4.


My solution - go to bed early, Monday can't come bloody fast enough.
 
I tend to spend weekends alone. Having only one friend I really see outside of school helps with that. Although being alone does have its downsides, as mentioned, it does have its upsides as well. You can spend the time to read, write, think, and generally just clear your mind. I think of weekends more as a time to refresh yourself rather than goof off with your friends. However, if you don't...well, there's not much I can do to help you. Just try to get at least some social contact, even if it means just going for a walk in the park and talking to random people or going to the grocery store. Anything can help.
 
Searanox has a point. Having ONE good friend is a very good thing. There's a saying in Mexico that says "mejor solo que mal acompañado" which roughly translates to "Better alone than in bad company" [!--emo&:D--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/biggrin.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'biggrin.gif\' /][!--endemo--]
 
I quite enjoy solitude. I put myself into a sleep pattern which gives me hours of solitude when my parents have gone to bed (usual bed time for me on a weekend is around 6-7am and typical waking up time is 1-2pm) and in that time I get peace and quiet to do pretty much what I want as long as it's not too noisy. I quite enjoy being on my own, gives you complete freedom.
 
I hate being alone. I can do it, in fact its not too strange a thing for me to just leave a group or something and go off on my own. And I have also stayed at my house alone for about 3 days. But when I feel completely alone, no one around to help me, I get scared. The lyrics of Fear of the Dark describe it nicely.

Agreed AM!
 
You consider it a negative thing that your parents are not home? I LOVE the silence of no civlings or parents. But then I'm not that often really alone. I usually have my girlfriend or someone else over when nobody else is here. But sometimes it's good to just relax with a pris(tobacco) and Maiden [!--emo&:D--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/biggrin.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'biggrin.gif\' /][!--endemo--]
 
I quite enjoy being on my own for a while too. That's when I can listen to music, write, draw and do all kinds of stuff. Solitude is actually not a bad thing, even though too many people seem to think you're not alive if you don't get at least three phone calls every fifteen minutes.
 
Just remember this, you were born alone and you will die alone too. Not to mention you will most likely spend MOST of your life alone too. After you move out from your parents home (either to go to university or your own apartment/flat whatever) you will be alone most of the time. You are your own best friend and your own worst enemy. The only times i ever feel truely alone is when I hate myself. Lately that hasn't happened. Then again I want to be hermit in the middle of nowhere where no-one can bother me [!--emo&:D--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/biggrin.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'biggrin.gif\' /][!--endemo--]. In short, you better start liking yourself because if you don't like yourself you won't be able to fully like (love) another person and THEN you will be truely miserable. And in consequence ifyou really love yourself you won't need another person to leetch off of.

Actually, I'm fairly sure my mother was somewhere nearby. [!--emo&:p--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/tongue.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'tongue.gif\' /][!--endemo--]
 
LOL true, but what i'm implying is we actually have to LEARN to socialize as we spent most of the time just with ourselves at first. aside from basically using our mothers for sustinance and aquisition of language we really have little social contact with others....
