We all have different thresholds for different experiences; it's a part of being uniquely ourselves. While reading the comments on another post about where you would go for a free vacation, alone, I realized that some of you had strong feelings about taking that trip solo.
So, ladies, do tell, is there something about being alone that makes you uncomfortable or anxious, or is it merely a preference for companionship? And for those of you who prefer a stretch of solitude, do tell, what is it you like about being alone?

I really dont mind spending time alone. It is time i can truly relax and do whatever i want without having to do what someone else wants to do. Its a time unwinde and when I have enough time alone, I am more enjoyable to be around.
1I don't feel anxious when I am alone, I usually get a lot of work done, but I just would feel like I wanted to share a vacation with my fiance. We spend so much time apart while we are both at work, and I cherish the time we have.
2But, I spent a lot of time single before him, so being alone really doesn't scare me. It's more about choosing to be with him instead.
I actually crave time alone. We have five kids, four of them live with us. There always seems to be someone needing my attention. I love being a mom & all of the craziness of our big family, but my time alone is very precious to me.
3I like to be alone too but for some reason there are some things I can't do alone like go to a bar or restaurant I feel really uncomfortable then. But shopping I always prefer alone and when hubby works late or something I have a great time when I have the house to myself.
4my alone time is very very important to me. it's when i do my deepest thinking and really allow myself to unwind. privacy is something i really need, but i also love to be around people. but when i'm alone for more than a few hours at a time i start getting bored and need to get out my house!
5I really love the solitude sometimes, just to unwind.Most of the time it's so busy around here and i like having my house to myself without my kids and my husband. I enjoy it so much when i do have it...
6I love being alone and like doing many things by myself. I guess it's a selfish thing, in a way. I enjoy being alone with my thoughts and not having to answer to anyone else's demands.
7i'm thinking one person's selfish is another person's sane, pop!
8I carve solitude, I always have. I like to clear my mind then think about any problems I or my friends/family may be having. I feel lucky that I'm not one of those people who needs to have the phone attached to their ear 24/7.
9I relish time alone. I don't get much of it, but when I di, I just love it. I make it all about me and whatever I feel like doing, be it doing errands or just lying on the couch zoning out.
10i get my strength back so to speak in my alone time. lately i haven't gotten to much. a couple of weekends ago i was looking forward to some time alone in the house (just to clean mind you, not sleep) and the people doing our backyard showed up with all these noisy tools. i wanted to scream! peace, quiet. alone.
11Just for the record, I don't think liking alone times means you are selfish! I was speaking only for myself. I like it because it means not answering to anyone else, getting to do what I want etc. I think for many people it would be a badly needed respite and time away from a hectic world. But since I work at home alone all day, it's not as novel I guess.
12i love having my "me" time...it's nice to have the house to myself...if i don't get my time by myself i get cranky and mean
13I have always felt that I need to be alone, a lot. It helps me unwind and make sense of the, at times overwhelming, world. However at the same time, I do not like to feel alone, so I tend to avoid it by being with other people, thus causing this overload onto myself.
14I suppose it's all about FEELING alone, which is not the same as BEING alone. I have learned to deal with this though.
15I love having my alone time, just to read or think, I find it peaceful.
16I spend most of my time alone. I once spent almost 1 month alone on an island. It was a real testing experience. I'm so very glad I did that. I think it's made me stronger mentally.
