That’s weird. I like to be alone with my thoughts. In fact tomorrow, I’m spending the entire morning at the beach - by myself.
Same here, thinking time is good time.
Which probably is much why so many people are screwed up.
Personally, I put a high value to my alone time and thinking.
I always try to find quiet times to sit and think. It’s easy to observe that people hate to think. Just look at them.
I would love to be alone with no talking or other distractions. When I’m alone now them other voices are real distracting.
Have always enjoyed dinner out by myself.
That said, I have never tried this electric shock. Might be more fun than I realized.
Pansies read New York Magazine
He has this backwards. The obsessive phone-checking has conditioned people to be stimulated at all times. The anxiety they feel while alone is a result of the brain looking for the next "hit".
The conscience will get you every time unless you’re mentally ill. Knowing Christ is the antidote to anxiety when alone. In fact, you’ll seek out quiet and isolation just to be with God and your thoughts.
It’s a pity that man, created by God, knows neither himself or his Maker.
I would rather give myself an electric shock than read New York Magazine.
I was forced to have a lot of alone time My younger daughter died in 2004 and 2 years later my husband died. I really learned who were my friends and who were not. Frankly, I had rather be alone than be with fakes. I am doing fine with God’s help.
not me. don’t know where they dug up these “guys”.
it’s just so funny that so many people can’t be by themselves. i have always been introverted and individualistic. i prefer it. i like being around people but on my terms. otherwise i’m not.
Bizarre. Some time alone with your own thoughts in this increasingly intrusive world is a luxury.
I like to do both.
Memories of the times you had
That’s the way you see yourself
You fight for your rights
You fight to survive
You come into this world
With nothing except yourself
You, you leave this world
With nothing except yourself
Do what you want
And how you want it
Feel it’s right, go out and do it
Think for yourself
And think for the best
Or you’ll go down just like the rest
You come into this world
With nothing except yourself
You, you leave this world
With nothing except yourself
“Some” people.
As for myself I literally hate the idea of not having some time every day to be alone with my thoughts. These other people probably have bad consciences or under-developed brains and imaginations. Thinking is fun.
