Some people find me weird for being so comfortable being alone...loving silence...craving for stillness and a time to just think and reflect. I need some time alone everyday...I enjoy going shopping by self, going to bookstores, movies, & tours alone...holed up hours in my room reading and daydreaming.
I find them weird for needing people all the time... for not being comfortable with just their thoughts to keep them company. For needing to fill in the spaces with chatter.
Maybe we should just accept each other as we are.

Salam girl
There is absolutely nothing wrong with that (specially going to book stores or shopping alone) why do ppl need audience 4 that!!!
Ppl might say that they accept each other for who they r, but they constantly try to each them also so they can become more similar to them ,,,only allah knows why!!!
Luv how your comfortable with who u r,,wish I was like that 2..axx

Yep I know what you mean. My parents found me weird for wanting the same things when I was young, these days they accept me for who I am. Probably why its deemed weird is because its also a symptom of depression. Think about it :)

I dont think that is weird because you are comfortable being with you. I think it shows that you like you and that you are very comfortable with who you are. I am the same way but i balance i can be with me and i can be with you. Because even though being alone is a limited luxury "no one man is an Island". Have those days but learn to be with good people because people make us happy too.
And to comment what sleepdepraved said: I dont think that like yourself can cause you depression. I think that is a narrow statement. I am not a doctor but happy people are not ill. And also if you have faith in Allah there is no depression.

You are not alone, Lone Dreamer. I guess its in the nature of some to love to be alone and find noisy people unbareable. I am known for that. But having said that sometimes like-minded friends could be a good break. Its hard to find them I am sure but when you do I am sure you would enjoy their company as much as you love your own.
PS: Having the ability to be alone with yourself is strength- it shows your independence from the approval and assurance of others.

Dreamer, there is such peace in stillness. Glad that you see movies alone, I used to think I was odd for not wanting chatter or compromise. I never understood how someone could socialize every evening or talk on the phone for 2 hours. Working and dealing with people makes you crave solitude. Wonder how anyone can think without it at all.

Dreamer....I think we are kindred spirits. I also like my time alone. I have periods of hibernations which I am known for. I just need time to contemplate and reflect on things.
The world is a crowded place...time alone is a neccesity :)

Thanks for not making me feel like a weirdo.
I've always been like that.
