If i could sell all of my things, get a one way flight to a remote south pacific island and build myself a wooden hut and live on coconuts, i would be very happy!!

I have wanted to do that for ages!!

coconuts are a laxative :eek:

While I do enjoy going out for a few drinks with mates, going to the cinema every now and then, etc, I do enjoy it when I get a day off to myself, with nothing to do but to veg out in front of the tv or 'puter and play a game and watch some tv.

On a desert island by yourself I don't see it being much of an issue.

You would dehydrate and die

More yes than no but not all the time.

Not really, unless I'm playing my guitar on occasion. I thrive in the company of others - too long to myself and I can over think things or get bored very easily. I always try to ensure that I never spend a day by myself. I love spending time with people.

I think the ability to spend time by yourself and not rely on others for comfort is an excellent thing, so long as you do not seek solitude more often than you perhaps should.

I enjoy my own company a bit too much. However I do like socialising, just about finding a nice balance.

Yes, love being alone.

I love being alone. Having some "me" time with the TV/XBOX/Internet/Movies etc is lovely! It's just as enjoyable as socialising.

I have a busy job and a busy social life, if I didn't take time out for "me-time" I'd never have any at all and I would go insane!

I used to love it. I have some serious issues with social interaction, so I find it hard to interact with people even on a level as basic as buying something from them in a shop. So I would spend as much time away from people as possible. Now, though, I'm starting to crave the company of others and I don't just mean being around random people, but people I can actually talk to. Of course, sometimes it's still nice to be on my own so I can think/read/write/program, but the balance has shifted and now that's no longer the majority of the time.

The only trouble is, I'm struggling to interact with people regardless of how hard I push myself.
