Alone Isn’t Lonely: 10 Signs You’re Perfectly Happy With Solitude

There comes a point in our 20s when life warns us to stop thinking about ourselves and start contributing to society.


We have to start working, paying taxes and maintaining relationships so we can populate the world.


Though working and taxes are inevitable (sneakers and coffee don’t pay for themselves), do we have to be in relationships?


Being in a relationship, particularly marriage, is an important milestone we’re all taught to desire. Your life isn’t complete unless you’ve found the love of your life (or, at least, your life right now).


It’s something we can’t escape; we see it on the streets, in films and online, where engagement posts constantly appear on your Facebook News Feed.


However, there are a select few who don’t feel relationships are the top priority. It’s not that they’re shy, introverted or unable to get or maintain relationships; they just prefer doing things on their own.


Their focus is satisfying their needs, and their needs only.


This can even transcend to their friendships and family relationships. These independent people aren’t complete loners or socially inept.


In fact, most of them are probably the most charismatic and extroverted when they need to be. They just know their social limits.


Being independent isn’t something we should shame. If you prefer enjoying a coffee alone rather than with friends, that’s completely fine.


If you’d rather share your double bed with yourself rather than another person, that’s your choice.


If you just want your space, it is your space. Some people just don’t need people, and that is okay. They just love that solo lifestyle.


Here are some 10 signs you prefer riding solo:


1. You love free weekends


Your type of weekend is one that involves no plans, responsibilities or socializing.


You’d rather stay at home alone with your favorites — Netflix, Chinese takeout and sweatpants — than go out on a Saturday night with cover charges, drunken people and clothes that are far too fitted.


2. You’ll go to the movies on your own


You don’t feel the need to coerce your friends to watch the latest Oscar film or 80s TV series turned movie reboot. If you want to see a movie, you’ll see the movie, friends or not.


Especially if you’re the kind of person who likes to stay updated with the latest films. Plus, you’re guaranteed to have all the popcorn to yourself.


3. You’re comfortable with eating out by yourself


Going out to dinner with friends or significant others can be fun, but it can also be a nightmare (think allergies, forced conversations and splitting bills). Hence, why you’re a big fan of eating out alone.


You don’t have to cater to everyone’s needs, budgets or aesthetic preferences. Plus, you’re guaranteed all the food to yourself. Who even enjoys sharing food?


4. You prefer drinking on your own


Some think it’s sad if you consume alcohol alone. However, you think it’s the epitome of happiness. Just you, a bottle of wine and no expectations. Plus, you don’t have to worry about trying to get home because you’re already home.


5. You travel the world solo


The idea of discovering the world on your own doesn’t scare you — it exhilarates you. It allows you to go where you want, see what you want and do what you want, without the restriction of someone else’s itinerary.


Traveling on your own allows you to discover yourself without the distraction and pressure of another person’s presence.


It also allows you the opportunity to step out of your comfort zone and make new friends.


Traveling solo is fun, but traveling with strangers is even more fun because they don’t have preconceived judgments of you.


6. You hate sharing beds


Double beds are generally made for you to share with someone, but you prefer to starfish in the summer and wrap your body in a blanket burrito in the winter.


You have no interest in fighting over blankets during the night or waking up to another person’s bad breath.


7. You find driving alone calming


Nothing cures a bad day and dark thoughts better than a solo drive to the beach or on an open highway.


In a world of constant social interaction (online and offline), solo driving is your mechanism to escape the world for a brief moment.


Plus, you can turn on your music and change it whenever you want.


8. You neglect your phone, a lot


You don’t feel the need to constantly text friends or significant others for social interaction.


If anything, you probably hate receiving pointless calls and text messages. Sometimes, you forget to check your phone or reply to messages.


9. You can be socially MIA for long periods of time


Sometimes your friends or family won’t see you for days, weeks or even months. They aren’t worried about whether you’ve died because you’ve updated on social media at least once. They just know that you just have your socializing limits.


You don’t feel the need to socialize every waking moment. Though you’re capable of enjoying a night out with friends, you’d prefer just doing your own thing, whether it’s a new project or reading a classic.


10. You see “clingy” as an unattractive trait


The idea of being unable to get out of a commitment scares you, whether it’s committing to having dinner with friends, being in a relationship, or even your mobile-phone contract.


You need that space to be alone, physically and mentally. You can’t stand someone who constantly wants to be attached, especially to you.


Even when you’re in a relationship, you need that alone time to gain your sanity. Someone who requires your undivided attention is an automatic deal-breaker.


No matter how demanding work, family, friends and relationships can get, you always need that time to step away from it all and have that space to yourself.


Your moments and thoughts alone are the only things society can’t control. Your decisions are wholeheartedly your decisions, and you love that.

  6. I must say 2016 & 2017 was the years of me trying so hard beyond many desperate measures to gain back love, trust and happiness from my better half after he left. After trying so hard beyond desperate measures to unite with my husband throughout the years, I became confused, frustrated for all the goals, hopes and ardent wishes of uniting my family. I thought maybe he is not really meant for me.
    Unfortunately, I almost accepted my fate before meeting dr. Wakina sometimes in January 2018 through: dr.wakinalovetemple@gmail.com to also become part of my life journey. With little or no fate, I pleaded and begged ardently for spiritual guidance and help he has been rendering to his numerous followers. Just as I pleaded, my request was accorded, my husband came back the exact date and time he predicted after the love spell.
    Now I realize that I can have everything through spiritual doctor like Wakina. Wakina was an eye opener after uniting my family. My destiny, goals, hopes, family were established through him and his powerful love spell.

  9. Effective powerful love spell to get your Ex lover back urgently after breakup/divorce!.
    Hi everyone,
    I'm so excited. My ex-boyfriend is back after a breakup, I’m extremely happy that will are living together again.
    My boyfriend of a 4yr just broke up with me and am 30 weeks pregnant. I have cried myself to sleep most of the nights and don’t seem to concentrate during lectures sometimes I stay awake almost all night thinking about him and start to cry all over again. Because of this I end up not having energy for my next day’s classes, my attendance has dropped and am always in uni and on time. Generally he is a very nice guy, he ended it because he said we were arguing a lot and not getting along. He is right we’ve been arguing during the pregnancy a lot .After the break up I kept ringing him and telling him I will change. I am in love with this guy and he is the best guy I have ever been with. I’m still hurt and in disbelief when he said he didn’t have any romantic feelings towards me anymore that hurt me faster than a lethal syringe. He texts me now and then mainly to check up on how am doing with the pregnancy, he is supportive with it but it’s not fair on me, him texting me as I just want to grieve the pain and not have any stress due to the pregnancy. i was really upset and i needed help, so i searched for help online and I came across a website that suggested that Dr Azeez can help solve marital problems, restore broken relationships and so on. So, I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and he told me what to do and i did it then he did a spell for me. 17 hours later, my bf came to me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promise never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. I and my bf are living together happily again.. All thanks to Dr Azeez if you have any problem contact Dr Azeez now and i guarantee you that he will help you. Here’s his contact.
    Email him at: Azeezabdulahi12@gmail.com
    call/add him on what’s-app: +2348160153829

  12. After being in relationship with Wilson for seven years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that don't believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I meant a spell caster called Dr Zuma zuk and I email him, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem and who is different from all the fake ones out there. Anybody could need the help of the spell caster, his email: spiritualherbalisthealing@gmail.com or call him +2348164728160 you can email him if you need his assistance in your relationship or anything. CONTACT HIM NOW FOR SOLUTION TO ALL YOUR PROBLEMS
