What gives you comfort when alone

What gives you comfort when alone [+ favourites]

I like to think that i would like to be alone, but when i'm alone i usally turn on the tv to give me comfort that someone is there when i'm alone.

"what if I'm a clone?"

I enjoy being alone sometimes. It doesn't discomfort me in the least. I find it's a time to reflect on events occurring in my life.

"I love to see people struggling for their purpose in life..."

Being alone... today I had a overwhelming sense of stress and despair all through my life. I got home from school and no one was home.. I layed on my couch and starred at the ceilling in a daze for a while before I had to go to work. But I was happy. I was comforted by the calmness of the moment. I need that sometimes.

"Anything is Possible when you think illogically."

Perhaps the end of Donnie Darko displays a healthy acceptance of being seemingly alone in this world.

"Hating everyone protects me from elitism."

captincynic, music, and video games.

"Wht cry for those that often cry? Instead, help them smile, and smile for those that smile."

silence, thinking, meditating, sleeping, music, captaincynic, reading, and going for long runs.

"The summit is just a halfway point"

yeah. martial arts and running helps a lot too.

"Wht cry for those that often cry? Instead, help them smile, and smile for those that smile."

many people dont like being alone. id say a larger goup dont like sitting alone in their own thoughts. sitting in silence is difficult for people because to a certain extent it forces the person to reflect on their own self, and after all you are your own worst critic. instead of finding things to fill up your alone time, i challenge you to sit and simply reflect. you will be surprized at what you figure out about yourself and your surroundings.

if its simply extra time alone, well all the previous suggestions are great. any other hobby that is personally satisfying to you is good too.

"UNIX is an operating system, OS/2 is half an operating system, Windows is a shell, and DOS is a boot partition virus. ~Peter H. Coffin"

Counting my blessings and knowing that the sun will rise after every night.

"How can we be just in a world without mercy and merciful in a world without justice?"

I basicly turn on noise to keep from disciplining my own alone time. I think that comes from being raised in house full of 8 people. It was never quiet, untill 9pm and then there was always some type of noise, radio, late night shows on the tv, my brother snoring.....

"what if I'm a clone?"

I'm always alone. Will always be alone. Have no fear of being alone. And have no knowledge of what it's like to be truly "with" others. I've thought that I had from time to time but, I look back and realize that it was just a false experience of a limited relationship, more of a meeting than a feeling of being together with another. Being physically alone, I love. I read, write poetry, sketch, paint, be creative. When I'm with others, I drink, do drugs, tell jokes, have sex, get hurt, be an animal.

"Eternally misunderstood."

Being alone is comfort to me.

"Speak out, even if what you have to say is unpopular"

Comfort to me is rushing water, a soft song, a quiet movie, a pen and paper. I could just shut out the world very quickly and not come back for days. When i'm with people, however, that's the time when I'm most alone.

""As I sit before the fire, I wonder how many before myself have been burned.'"

Being alone has never bothered me. I actually prefer it, seeing as most people's thoughts are too limited and confined for my preference. But when loneliness overwhelms me, I run, read, write, listen to music, sew, swim for hours, or sit on the dock.

""...Not every fight is worth fighting." Hold me to it."

Most of the time I'm alone in my room...unless someone happens to call me to do something... But I'll just put on a chilled out play list on my computer and lay face down on my bed cuddling a pillow. Soaking up all the music and relaxation.

"I'm a human being, God Dammit!! My life has value!!!"
