| I spend a lot of time at workplace and when I get home I am usually alone. And I am not sure what to do with my lonely time. I watch TV and spend time on Internet. But often that is not enough for some of my issues. I want to spend my time wisely and make sure that I am not getting bored. Also I want to know what are some of the things you do with free and lonely time?

| Living alone, for many people looks dull and sapless. It leads to mental agony, frustration, and finally depression also. But, even that loneliness is a boon for many professionals in the fields like Scientists, Researchers, Professors, Doctors, Poets, Priests, Astrologers, Writers etc., They like loneliness and they want to be in the circle of loneliness. Whenever I feel it I visit some research students and pick up some topic for discussion. I once happened to meet an officer in the Intelligence Dept., who had confirmed that there is a witchcraft existing in many countries. Sometimes, I meet some astrologer and pick up some discussion. Likewise, some herbalist, a traveler, collectors of various antique items, art pieces, stamps, and coins etc., watching movies in Theatres is also a way of spending time. Reading some books, spending time with kids in the neighborhood, playing cricket are some of my ways of driving my loneliness away. | |
| @Mahes, hello dear, and why allow yourself to be alone. For me, I cannot live alone.My life is not complete if having no one with me at home, the more that I an afraid of some unknowns hehehe. I never had experienced being alone, well , there was an instance that I was left alone so what I did, I locked the doors and windows and then tune in the music so loud that it almost breaks the bones hehehe. In case you are staying alone temporarily, just enjoy yourself doing some activities here and there to forget the loneliness. You may invite your niece nephew or best friend to visit you or accompany you for some days. | |
| Yes mostly I invite the family members. But now I am living away from them these days. And for this reason I guess I have to find a way. I can’t imagine going into this phase in 40s or 50s. I think I have to start some tuition or something and teach kids. This way I think I can have people around. I am sure this way I can manage myself financially too. Thank you for the suggestion. I may have to find to keep myself around people. Hope that works out this year and forward. I have lot on my plate for now. | |
| It is good that you have decided to take tuition classes so that you will be surrounded by children which will kill that feeling of loneliness. Even after tuition classes, if you feel alone then you can develop some hobby like playing a musical instrument, drawing, painting, reading books, writing, gardening, photography etc. You can go camping or hiking if you love being outdoor as these activities have clubs which will engage in more social conversations which will keep you occupied. Cultivate a hobby and do it regularly after coming from work. Don’t dwell too much on the television itself as it will make you tired and bored. Watch some television for relaxation, listen to some songs and engage in any other activities. I love sketching so what I do is after coming from work I will eat and relax for a while and just take my sketch book and start to sketch whatever I feel like drawing. Also, I like writing so, I will just keep on writing until I am bored and I engage much of my time in writing for online sites and for my blog. By this way, I am learning something new daily as well as keeping me busy so I never feel lonely. So, good luck my friend 🙂

| I like being alone sometim3s because that means me having some me time,meaning i can laz3 around doing absolutely nothing or just making me happy doing what i love to do most without any interruptions. I love the sound of that. Usually when am alone i like to jsut sit on my couch and watch my gospel cd’s, or listen to music loud thats howni like it hahaha. The other thing i like to do is do my exercises because at that time i am focused and am usually very energized something funny i can’t even explain how that happens, because most people when they are alone they tend to be very tired why i don’t know. Anyway the other thing i do when am alone is take pictures of myself i like doing that too, trying recipes is also another thing that i love doing. There are so many other things but i guess those are the most popular. | |
| Actually I am afraid of loneliness. Whenever I feel alone, I turn on my TV or MUSIC SYSTEM that makes me feel human’s sound. Sometimes I make a phone call to my friends or own people, Make my favorite tea and relax. Nothing else. Of course I lite on my room then first. | |
| Well I like to immerse myself in books. Occasionally I do some Internet writing work, or read more books. Sometimes I do watch older movies on my laptop. | |
| I usually read or watch YouTube videos about space sciences or watch documentaries. I am not alone as I am married and my wife and I watch t.v. together and enjoy good conversations. I think it is fundamentally important to have a companion to share in activities. Such as meals together, traveling and shopping together, and taking time to do individual activities that you both may enjoy either together or separately. I read, watch t.v. listen to music, draw and many times like to take long walks. I do work on the backyard garden sometimes and I maintain the property. It keeps me pretty busy. Oh and I do like to blog a lot. | |
| I wished that I could be left alone but never a chance. It is either my son is at home or hubby at home. They give me tasks to do and I am always busy, without a chance to sit down to blog here. I would definitely love being alone. I could blog the whole day, eat what I desired, watch online Korean dramas that I had missed and look out for recipes that I have not tried before | |
| @lookat indeed Gardening too is a great hobby. | |
| To be alone is sickening and killing the self. Man is by nature gregarious so he needs humans to talk to and share feelings of loneliness or happiness. For me, I cannot leave alone. | |
| I enjoy time alone. These days whenever I am alone I ever interact on mylot or on literacy base. Sometimes when I’m alone I read or pray and I take time to meditate. Spending time alone has a lot of benefits such as : 1. It helps to be more creative. 2. It helps to focus on future. 3. It helps to refresh the mind. These are just few of the various benefits. |
