I do alone a lot better than I used to. I've stopped seeing it as a constant negative. I used to see it as a sign of rejection – I was alone because no one wanted me. As an introvert, my first instinct is not to walk up to someone and introduce myself; it's to blend in with the walls. But eventually, I learned that it was that instinct that led to me being alone. I have to reach out a bit so that others CAN reach back. No one's going to take your hand if it's in your pocket.

I'm probably too good at being alone. I'm an introvert so I love being alone. I have to force myself to get out and get involved.

"I just want to lie in bed by myself with the infinite possibilities" – John Mayer (interview with playboy)

When I read that quote it just resonated within me. I'm in my early 20s and after living in Vancouver for a while, I've moved to a tiny town in Alberta for research. It threw me for a loop. When it come to the real me, I'm an introvert hiding in an extrovert's smile. But this is a new kind of alone. And after much travail, I've remembered something that I forget to do, which is remember who I am and hang out with that person more. Realize that gawsh, I love some Miles Davis, a glass of wine and some chocolate while I work away the evening.

Funny thing that I was searching around for information on starting blogging and came across your article on "Fuel" about your first year as a blogger. It's encouraging when entering the blogging sphere is a little overwhelming.

I can’t stand being alone, because I think too much! =) But I suppose it is important to get away sometimes and recharge your life, but I love love love being with people, so finding time to be alone and actually forcing myself to be alone is a huge struggle for me. True Story.

I'm such an introvert but having an extrovert as a roommate a few years ago really helped bring balance! The past few years of living alone came at the right time because now I know that while I really need my alone time to recharge, I have the freedom to invite people over to hang out whenever I like. Yes, it gets lonely at times (as I too am 30 and single but wish I wasn't!) but God has also used it to draw me closer to Him too. So, like with everything, there are pros and cons It's just a matter of finding that balance!

I recommend going to the movies alone… haven't done it in a while because (living alone and doing many things alone) I've been craving time with friends! But I actually really enjoy it. Although I refuse to go alone on a Friday or Saturday night

I can't stand cocktail parties, big mingling events…but I love nothing more than time with close friends.
