"Solitude is dangerous. It's addictive. Once you realize how peaceful it is, you don't want to deal with people." Carl Gustav Jung.

Loneliness is the poverty of
self; solitude is the richness
of self.
It is much easier to snipe them
in the front yard, than to untangle
them from your life.

I am not a good person.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

You got that right! If there were more people in the world like you, it'd be a much nicer place.

I just thought, Plz, it might be me... that's all... I know I wish or do no harm to anyone, but maybe I am just too on my own...
Thank you for your kind words, Plz, ... I don't really deserve them.

Maybe it is my age and lack of experience but I find that I like company and that while there certainly are people who are ruled by greed or jealousy, the average person is not always like that. I have found that they may seem indifferent, but more often than not it seems to be out of fear to be intruding and considered nosy, rather than true indifference. But that may be also just me, projecting my own fears and insecurities on the people around me.


ExNameForUse replies on 3/10/2023 9:20 am:
Whatever it is, you have the right, like me, or anyone else to feel what and how you feel... I don't think it is necessary for someone to be right or someone to be wrong... we are all right if we follow our own path.

I think when one can enjoy the three amigos- Me, Myself, and I, one becomes more in tune with life itself , rather than the game of life. And you put out a different aura to others.
You don't NEED a friend, those not there, think it weird...


ExNameForUse replies on 3/10/2023 9:20 am:
Well... I certainly enjoy the company of all three of them

Keep everybody at arms length and keep it simple


ExNameForUse replies on 3/10/2023 9:24 am:
It is what I am doing but it seems people don't like that...
Not that I am overstressed about that, just noticing that having your own life and keeping it private, avoiding gossips involvement... that all make people don't like you very much... or maybe just envy you for having the courage to be on your own and not blend into the crowd...

I If you can live comfortably in solitude, you can live comfortably anywhere.

When amongst people it becomes easier to see those of true value.


ExNameForUse replies on 3/10/2023 9:25 am:
I could then live comfortably anywhere though I love my little sanctuary and peace it provides me

I prefer being sort of alone, than in places with disagreeable people. Or if it gets too loud. As much as I like music, some venues/ sound tech just make it too loud. Bars like it loud, because people drink more.

Being alone, means you don't have to answer to anyone for what you do, eat, watch, ponder and so forth. No critics I guess.

Perhaps it is part of the aging process to be more comfortable with ourselves than with strangers.

I do know, I would enjoy your company as you are a classy lady.

Still, I enjoy the company of good people, who are interesting and share common interest and values.

"I enjoy the company of good people, who are interesting and share common interests and values." - I do enjoy their company too, DD... but there are not many of that kind around me, and when I am with those few, I actually want to go back to my solitude very quickly
And thank you for your kindness, DD.

I enjoy my solitude. I really think I could be a hermit if the need arises. But I do so love spending as much time as I do with my lady. (and it's A LOT of time, lol). But we each know the other needs time to themselves and are both at peace with that.


ExNameForUse replies on 3/10/2023 9:30 am:
Solitude is a necessity in my opinion... everyone needs their own time... no matter what kind o relationship we have and how good it is.
To me, it is just natural to have that time.

Ex

I think we are all different and , I too , prefer being alone than with people I don;t want to be with!

I wonder if Jung was correct? I have read a book on the topic ( a long while ago) and the conclusion was Solitude is OK if that is our choice)

ExNameForUse replies on 3/10/2023 9:32 am:
It makes sense, Jenny. Sometimes it is a choice, sometimes it is what just happens for god knows what reason... it is not always easy, we are social creatures, but I do love it and enjoy it greatly compared to being surrounded by people, especially those I haven't chosen to be with.

I recognise a lot, in your writing.

I like people, if we are like, 'the same' in some way.
If there is some sort of mental connection.

Most dont match, my world.. and i dont match theirs.
I m fine with that.
I find most people way too shallow, cant have any indepth conversation, because they never think as deep as i do, Layers, and Layers...

i dont do gossip, have difficulties with small talk, i experience that as a waste of time.

So, i keep myself, to myself.

I like my own company.
There has to be a sort of balance, between company and being on my own, to recharge again..


ExNameForUse replies on 3/10/2023 9:36 am:
I think I am reaching that balance every day in my office surroundings... after that time I am in serious need of my own time and solitude, I have a walk before catching the bus, and time to recharge for about 3 or 4 hours just being on my own when I get home.

Hm...well you’re definitely a good person ex maybe a lil socially awkward shy quiet introvert type & very observant intelligent deep kind hearted person w a lotta luv to give to those few you let in your circle as you’re also very guarded why they think you’re cold distant & uppity...but there’s nothing wrong w having standards being intelligent not having anything to say but to be & watch others & observe (one of my favorite past times people watching!)
I get you ex other then work & errands I’m alone vast amounts of time l trust nobody l have more compassion sympathy for animals then l do humans but it’d be really nice to have somebody that geTs & understands me for some meaningful 24/7 companionship & kinky adventures together!
you be you...you’re perfect just as you are!


ExNameForUse replies on 3/10/2023 9:42 am:
Watching others and observing is my favorite thing to do... until I reach the point of being exhausted from listening to the same every day, it is when I just disconnect and don't hear any more of what they are talking about... I am, I guess, a bit like that - a little socially awkward for my environment, but I can't do any better because it makes me feel almost ill afterward when I try ...

we can be surrounded by people, but true friends are very rare and worth it. Around them, one can be themselves. I hear what you're saying. People can be exhausting.


ExNameForUse replies on 3/10/2023 9:43 am:
Thank you for hearing me... it is always nice to know someone can hear what we are saying...

Gosh. I could have written that about myself.
Nice to know there are others who feel the same

When asked about people...
“I don't hate them...I just feel better when they're not around.”
― Charles Bukowski, Barfly

I tend to feel the same way. I've always been a loner.

"Men need to hunt. She obviously understands this. She’s offering herself as prey. Not easy prey. But willing.”


ExNameForUse replies on 3/19/2023 5:44 am:
Exactly as he said... I simply feel better without them around xx
