I don't know where to start so here it goes. I like to be alone. My mom doesnt't like it. She always is nagging me about having my friends up or spending more time with her. I've been trying to hang out with her more. She says it's not good for me to be by myself all the time. She says she feels guilty when I'm home by myself (which is often since my sisters are at college, my mom works during the day and my dad sleeps in the day because he works nights.) Is that bad that I like to be alone? I'm not that popular and I have 3 close friends so theres not much oppurunity to hang out but... And I don't know why I'm like this but I can't stand to be hanging out with people all the time. I just don't know what to do.

Sometimes you just need some time to yourself. Being alone isn't all that bad. I mean I love to be to myself.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with being alone. As long as you are happy and safe you're just fine. I enjoy being alone sometimes as well, but I do enjoy hanging out with friends. Sometimes we all just need a break, maybe you should remind your mom of that and she will be more understanding. Hope I helped you!

NOPE!! I love to be alone. I am not very close with any of my family and since I am only 16... I still live at home with them, we fight all of the time and I just avoid them as much as possible. So I love being alone when I am at school. My boyfriend is out of school and when I am there I am kind of always by myself because I don't really talk to any other guys, but I still hang out with some of my girlfriends. It's good for you to be around friends, but if you don't always feel like... kick it at home alone. It;s cool. There's nothing wrong with it.

i like to be alone, too.
i don't think it's a bad thing.
i don't know how it can be a bad thing.

I actually like being alone too, anyways I'm waiting for february to come so I can join the diving team or something

Okay so I love to stay home alone too. My mom is just like yours and always tells me to go and hang out with some friends or whatever, well actually she doesn't care what I do just as long as I'm out of the house. I joined the girls ice hokcey team, which bascially gets me out of the house every day for like pratice or off ice conditioning or just fooling around w/ other ppl on the team. So you could join a sport or something like that. or you could make a club or something with one of you hobbies.

I love to stay home alone... i also like to lock (No actual lock) myself in my room while playing games, doing homework or reading.... since i have no lock my mom always barges in to my room and disturbes me....... what i wanna say is that ur not the only one, i like staying alone too

i dont think that it is a bad thing if you choose to be by yourself. thats how i am sometimes. i have to admit, most days i can talk your ear off and some days i just dont feel like talking (which is very rare).

hummm... I personally don't think it's bad you like to hand with yourself...I feel like that sometimes too but I can see how your mom says its not good....being left out isn't any fun...maybe you should join a club or something....like what kinda thigs do you like to do? Sing? Read? Help others? well sorry if this isn't any help but I tried...

Why thank you.

I don't think that this is necessarily BAD in any means. some people are just naturally more independent and more private. It's just personal choice, not everyone has to be a social butterfly.

I personally, find myself to get extremely grouchy if i don't have a suffient amount of alone time.

but like anything it can be not so great to spend TOO TOO much time alone. If you constantly NEVER EVER EVER want to go ANYWHERE. then i dunno.

but if you just prefer to fly solo i wouldn't really wory about it.

Not without Star Wars.

I think it's a phase, when I was your age, I liked to be alone. I wasn't very social and didn't have many friends. Now, I can't stand being alone unless I'm upset (though I admit that's quite often and that I still haven't many friends).

I don't think it's abnormal, but I don't understand anyone wanting to be alone. I only want to be alone when I'm upset because I dont want to bring others down around me.

As for what Knighthammer said, I wouldn't listen to him. His opinion on this matter seems very immature, at best.

Well that lends itself to a lonely life.

You have to be really introverted and socially awkward to be happy without having friends. It's good to have people to talk to.

In this world you dont need anyone but yourself. Tell your mom you dont have to have people over just to please her. Worry about pleasing yourself not others. Dont give me that "No man is an island" BS I dont need anyone except Me, myself and I.

maybe it's time to come out of your shell...


if you wanna be successful in life, its better to be a people person...i like being alone too, but only sometimes...

the more the merrier as they say!

Different people like to be around people in different lengths...me I love to be around others...but that's probably because I'm homeschooled and don't get out much...I've always loved to be around others. But like ou said, God created you the way HE wanted you to be...if He wanted you any other way, he'd have made you that way. Your mom just feels bad because she feels like she's done something wrong probably. So just hang out with her whenever hse wants...and tell her how you feel. Even if you have to tell her a thousand times...she'll get it eventually.
