Yes I am. I also don’t have any close friends. Most of the time it’s just me. My daughter has a social life.
It depends. I have a few good friends. I have some acquaintances. When I’m at school, I have a couple of girls I hang around with. When a group of classmates invite me to go to lunch after an exam, I usually go but I leave early. So, I guess I wouldn’t describe myself as a loner but I’m not a social butterfly, either.
im not a loner but have become that way having had close friends whom i finally gave up on and family are not close. i like to socialise and i like my quiet and alone by myself time.
When I think back to my early years (teens, 20’s, 30’s) my social life was booming. It seems once I hit my 40’s, things changed, people changed. Most friends and acquaintances that I had were going in different directions, getting divorced, starting new careers, becoming grandmothers...so in essence, I have become a little to myself, and when you have health issues it can put a damper on things.
I still try to get out as much as I can.
Once upon a time I would have called myself a loner. I’ve always had a few close friends, but in my younger years that was all. I was alone a lot and very isolated.
As someone who went Thursday night for happy hour with one friend, supper and a play with another, lunch on Friday with the girls, dinner theater tonight with a different bunch of girls, have a lunch date on Monday....... I think I can say that in my 40s I’ve become quite the social butterfly.
@ Mary - My social life was booming in my 20s and early 30s as well. I used to go out every single weekend, but now I don’t and it doesn’t bother me. I also don’t have a whole lot of free time now that I have two small kids.
Kids don’t leave much time for social life. I had absolutely none when my kids were small. If it hadn’t been for church, I would have never gotten out at all.
Luckily, hub and I share so many things..especially the gardening, bird-watching, playing shuffleboard and of course, Thursday night @ 8:00 p.m. (The Big Bang Theory) we are hooked on that show. I have found that for some things, being alone is better, like shopping..lol.
