I don't like being alone.

In my family, it doesn't happen often; there's always someone around, and when there's not it's never for very long. I grew up in a house with a lot of action and people and sounds. Even at College I've always had a room-mate or four, and my stretches of alone-time are a few hours at most.

Sometimes I need a little space, and quiet to get things together. But when I'm alone for long periods of time, I lose my focus. I lose track of time and things just blend one into the next... I don't like it overly much.

One of the reasons I want so bad to get married is so that I don't have to be alone when I move out. I'm not quite foolish enough to rush into anything so important just to keep from being lonely, but it's definitely one of my motivations.

Work tomorrow. Dad gets back on Wednesday, then Mom and Everyone gets back sometime on Thursday...

Hrm...fear of being alone often means fear of learning something about yourself, or fear of dealing with something you've been suppressing for a while. Believe me, I know...I'm the queen of evasive manuevers of this kind. I don't think I've been in total silence in almost 10 years...

Huh, that seems a pretty abrupt conclusion. After all, I find I learn more about myself from interactions with people than from sitting alone and quiet. I always just figured I didn't like being alone because, you know, I like people.

Wow. Ditto. I cant stand being alone for a long time.
