[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this lonely- I do a lot of things by myself,and rarely reach out to participate in an activity unless I know I will have fun. I can spend a whole weekend by myself and feel great .  I play tennis 4x a week but do not consider my partners friends. I would rather go out with my ex to places and activities because its just easier than cracking the ice with someone new. My closest friend is a childhood one.[/quote]

You sound like me - a hardcore introvert.  When my DH goes on a business trip (we don't have kids) I can happily stay in the house reading, watching movies, pursuing hobbies for a week without any contact with anyone![/quote]

Me three!  I am divorced and live alone. I have friends I can talk to or do things with if I want to, and family too, but I am usually perfectly happy to hang out by myself doing the things I love, or going out to a movie or restaurant or shopping.  No need to involve anyone else most of the time.  It is a peaceful, stress-free, happy life.  I do work so I also get that interaction with others but it is not as great as my alone time.  Lonely is something I feel maybe about once or twice a year, briefly.[/quote]
