As someone who likes very much to be alone and never feels lonely, I really struggle with the idea that people can’t be by themselves without falling to pieces. It just doesn’t compute with me at all. I mean, I know humans are social animals blah blah blah, but I also feel like there’s a distinct lack of resilience in society generally, and not limited to any particular generation.

I feel this so much! And I guess its my own issues but I am always surprised how much personal information people are willing to share within 2 minutes of meeting me. Like first of all be careful who you tell your life story to, and second I dont know you what makes you think I care.

I feel like this is a very American thing, I just spent two months in Europe where I had British, Irish, and Dutch people tell me this very specific thing about how they visited and were amazed by how open Americans are about just talking about their life. Like each person could remember a very specific example of this happening to them and I'm just like....this is normal

This comment is kind of funny when you look at FFAF posts

My wife and I were at the beach today and this older lady sat down beside us and wanted to chat. We got her whole life story in under an hour!

It’s funny because in real life I don’t like talking about myself unless someone asks me. But I do like sharing myself online, especially my mental struggles etc. so if someone stumbles upon it they may not feel alone. In person interactions though? No, and I feel like people who do unwarranted are full of themselves.

Saaame omg and also how they dont get so sick of constantly being in another’s presence, id go mad

[umilicious]

I’ll join this club! I don’t known if I’d attribute my solitary nature to resilience, but I get where you’re coming from in general.

Honestly same. I loved lockdowns during the pandemic because I didn’t have to be anywhere. I could just chill at home. The rest of it sucked but alone time was amazing.

[primimproper]

The panini was a relief to me. A lot of it was kind of fun which I feel guilty about? I cherished the time to myself, especially not being interrupted by chatty people all day at work - it was driving me batshit insane.

In 2019, the chatty guy who sat next to me would start a conversation every 5-6 minutes or narrate everything he was doing over our cubicle wall. He had trouble remembering any boundary I set, his mind resetting like Memento. He would just forget that I asked him to not interrupt me for two hours and start back up.

I would have to tape signs to my chair if I got on the phone, but even that stopped working because he would just ask if the sign was current.

And... if he could see the sign... he could also see me still on the phone, holding the phone to my head. So.. you don't need to ask, Dan, you can see the sign is still current... because I am still on the phone. Omfg!!!!!

So, a huge relief. I was going to lose it on this guy.

Oh god, I would have lost my shit. I am at the point now where I am very standoffish in the office and if that isn’t enough to give someone the hint, I will pretty much be rude enough to them to get them to go away. I come across as a crabby old lady and I don’t care, I’m there to work, not be the sounding board for losers who want to piss the day away yapping.

[steffi_333]

Omg I would lose my shit. Did he even want to interrupt you to talk work stuff or was it just inane babble?

[wonder_freak]

My people! lol

[angriest_girl]

Let’s all form a club and never get together

[notoriousreign]

Yup it’s honestly just so hard to compute for me too.

I'm like this too and always have been. Although I do think I enjoy being alone too much because I will put off hanging out with people because I don't want to lose my alone time. Like if I have two weekends in a row where I have to do stuff that's too much for me. I need at least an empty weekend buffer in between.
