My whole life I have been stuck between being an introvert and an extrovert. There are certain things that I love to do with other people, but other things I would much rather do by myself. Being around people all of the time is absolutely draining, and I always need time to myself to relax. The majority of people would probably like to do these things with other people, but the introverted side of me prefers to do these five things alone.
1. Watch a movie
Watching movies by myself is a lot more enjoyable than watching them with other people. I would rather sit and watch a movie by myself and stuff my face with candy than watch a movie with other people who will probably just interrupt the whole time. I can stop it whenever I want to, I don't have someone annoyingly talking to me, and I don't feel the need to wear pants. It's an ideal situation.
2. Study
I seriously don't know how people do homework or study together. Whenever I get around other people, I get super distracted and it takes me twice as long to do my work.
3. Eat
Eating alone was probably everyone's fear in high school, but in college, I would much rather eat alone and watch YouTube videos or read for class than eat with other people. Meals are always "me time" and I prefer it that way overeating with other people constantly.
4. Sit in class
I kind of detest sitting in large lecture halls surrounded by friends. It isn't like I hate them, but I have ADD, so in order to focus I have to be alone.
5. Drive
While I don't drive often since I am in college without a car, when I am home I would much rather drive all by myself than drive someone else around. This alone time allows me to sing horribly at the top of my lungs, and if I screw up while driving there isn't anyone to laugh at me.
Don't get me wrong, I do love spending time with other people, but as a second year in college, I would rather do these simple things by myself. It allows me to have a mental break from the world around me and focus on myself.
