Why I like to be alone

It may sound weird but if you’re an introvert like me, alone time can be essential in keeping your sanity. It’s a break from people and you can recharge. Me personally, I prefer being alone than in a large group. Below are a list of reasons why:

Thinking

I can think a little clearer when I’m alone, there’s not a million and ten voices outside my mind talking, it’s just me and my head so I can think without anyone else around.

Recharge

I can recharge and decompress, after a long day I just want to be home relaxing and there’s nothing worse than not being able to do that. I have to have alone time so I can decompress and recharge, so that the next time I'm in a social situation I can be there mentally and physically.

I'm Efficient

I can work more efficiently- Meaning I get things done when my mind is clear and no one is bothering me or trying to talk to me. While I might sound antisocial, it’s really just that working around other people doesn’t always have positives for me. I would rather be alone getting it done with no distractions.

My Mood

My mood isn’t dependent on the social environment I’m in. Since I’m alone it’s just me and my mind, and there are no distractions to confuse me or get me off focus.

Other People

I’m not hyper aware of everything around me, it’s not as if I’m taking in every inch of my situation and what everyone else is doing. I am alone, I know what’s happening and I can control it.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
