Yes Slice you can enjoy your own company and also enjoy others company at the same time...don't tell me you don't lol. Hey psstt and I want to tell you something else....you weren't 'given' this gift....you worked on it to make it so...?

Of course I like the company of others but you just can't beat your own company that's for sure, no I never did work for this gift, I was born with it, I always enjoyed this gift ever since I was a little boy. Nope, its a gift, Hail the ones who love their own company for you are blessed lol.

I will say this....I know quite well you speak the truth when you say you enjoy your own company the most

Also with all jokes aside, I think that those who truly enjoy their own company, are those who can really genuinely enjoy the company of others, there are many people who love being with crowds and they seem to be very happy and extroverted, but put these people by themselves and there will be a big difference. Many people when retired sell up and move to the beach fronts, well they do here in Australia. But when they start this new life away from the city and all of its noise, they then find that they cannot cope, and many times they have to move back to the city. So I think its best to get to know your self first, then you will be a true and happy friend to others.

Yer I like that robbie and agree.

It's kinda on the same vibe as self love Isn't It.

You cannot truly love another so to speak unless you love thy self.

Yea that's it Daz, its silly of use carrying on about what's better, introvert or extrovert, it all boils down to how do we feel about our own company and yes its also the same with love, if we can't love ourselves for who we are then we will never be able to love another, well not true love that is.

I am quite alone at the moment. I have a distant relationship with family and a very occassional relationship with 2 people who live a long way away. But I work quite closely with groups of people and will be an active player in group discussions. So Im both, Im not afraid of people and have good social skills, and I really enjoy this kind of being sociable, discussing interesting subjects, having a laugh with people and its good to say ohhh shoot to someone else when Im stressed. But, there is a side to socialising, that is widely ignored and thats when how things look to 'others' becomes more important than whats in the heart...putting a mask on, lies, two-facedness, gossip, back-stabbing, manipulation...etc etc....its something that may seem necessary for survival amongst those who fear being alone - and certainly, getting people to like me by being outwardly dishonest and manipulative, is something that I have done...and its something that has come to be against my personal principles....and they are strong enough, that I would sacrifice a friendship to maintain them within myself.

On the other side of that, Im able to kick up my heels in - or walk away from, unhealthy social scenarios, because Im not afraid of being alone. And when life goes that way, I go with the flow of it and enjoy life alone. The ideal balance for me is having regular interaction and regular alone time too. But I feel that believing yourself to be 'loner' or 'sociable' is to do with self-image and it pre-determines your life, rather than letting it flow as it will.

In terms of energy sensitivity/empathy/psychic awareness. I have gone through phases where it feels too much to be at social events or amongst crowds. But Ive found ways to deal with that now....and this is what life teaches - if you are finding that something is preventing you from doing something, then the easy way is to say to yourself, dont like it and keep away from situations that you might encounter it....but the other way is to say, that mountain looks challenging, Im going to climb it.

I like to come home to people that love me but I find that creativity happens when alone, I think creative people like their own company so they can interact with thier minds

Yeah, that would be me too. I only like to hang out with four good friends and my mom. I don't feel comfortable when it's crowded and enjoy being by myself.
It's a part of my personality, and I accept and embrace that, because i like it that way. You know, I've noticed I only like to be around people that are close to me, with whom I have a bond or a few people with whom I "click".
Nothing strange, maybe you might find it that way because you are more of a people person.

I'm a loner, I never feel lonely though, but I think a lot of people think loners do get lonely, or are shy.

I enjoy being alone and like someone else mentioned I'm more creative when i'm alone. I don't like social gatherings as I feel out of place and 'crowded', i'm more of a listener than a talker (though many loners are chatty.)

I have one or two excellent friends but couldn't cope with several 'mates' (i'm talking about offline here.)

I'm comfortable with myself and my habits and routines, disruption to that feels like intrusion, others may not be so comfortable with me, so perhaps it's just as well I am a loner.
