it doesn't bother me at all to be alone

From early childhood I have sought my own company much of the time.

I don't think it is learned behavior, but built in, although early life with mother was so often tense. On my solitary day-hikes through the woods I often felt accompanied, and my thoughts were conversations with myself or that unseen presence. I had no one to talk to during my first marriage and often felt orphaned and abandoned during my second, although the kids were always there and I was always busy.

Loneliness and solitude have never been synonamous for me.  There have always been so many people in my life that I have sought out solitude and enjoyed it immensely when available.  Only once in my whole life have I lived alone, for about an eight year period, and I just loved it.  Of course, I worked long hours, and people were always dropping in, but at least it was My Place,  all mine.   Most of my life I have gone out in the woods for solitude.

I like to be alone but the thought of living alone is scary. I never want to be surrounded by people ...unless they are animals...but alone all day every day. I am not sure.
