I'm curious to know if there are people out there who are okay with it because I know most people can feel lonely and bored.

I guess I'm like that as well. In uni ive got a group of friends who I want call 'close' as I don't really keep in touch with them over the summer or meet up. But during uni we all hang about together and have a good laugh.

Other than that I like to do other things by myself even shopping sometimes. Since its summer holidays I usually meet up with my old mates sometimes, other than that I'm usually just chilling at home.

I'm quite independent as well I have a few friends with that I meet up with every now and again but I think there's only around three who I'm pretty close to now, the rest I just meet really to be social (guess that sounds harsh).. Other then that, I'm often on a train on my Todd or walking around on my own. Unlike you, I do mind though aha! Especially since I used to have lots of friends haha but lost touch when went to college.. Overall I think it's good to be on your own at times.. Shows your not do dependent on someone haha

I am like that, too. I do have a group of close-ish friends I spend time and occasionally meet up with back in school, but I don't tend to let people become too close to me, I guess. I've found that, as an introverted and independent individual, keeping in touch with a large circle of people is definitely not for me. That's just the way I am. Some people are energised by spending time alone, working alone, thinking alone - doing anything on their own for that matter. It is perfectly fine.

I have many acquaintances but like other people have said, outside of uni, you don't see them as much. For me in particular, I prefer people to strike up a conversation with me as much as I do with them, call it equality of a friendship in a strict sense, hence I try not to say hi and come across as in need of some social stimulus.

I can be like that sometimes.. my friends try to meet up with me all the time but i just kind of say no, i feel bad but i just dont feeel like going... I like to do things on my own but in college i meet up with them and have a great time

I'am sure I am like this most of the time, really not bothered by loanlyness. I have a best friend and several friends, more just people I talk to in school have a laugh with but not hang out in public places with, but not bothered like you said by this.

I suppose I just do not get the feeling of loanlyness or the need to talk to someone, then again I get very nervous around large groups. So in away I find being alone a time when I feel my best. Weird I know.

Join the club, I'm like this too. I have friends, not close with them though, I'm very sociable, but I'm not best of mates, I don't really tell them my personal problems e.g. and when I'm at uni I don't talk to people that much from home.
