The joy of knowing the difference between alone and lonely.
Being good company to others starts with being good company to yourself
Yep. I find many people who self-describe as extroverts are just deathly afraid of being alone with their own thoughts.
I try. Keeping myself occupied with a game of chess sounded cool too, but I always lose.
I don't mind the losing, I just wish I didn't have to get so personal with the insults every time.
Well, there is no one else who knows what comments will sting the most.
STOP INSULTING YOURSELF!

As a father with a family, I'm almost never alone. and when I am, I really have to adjust to it. So I feel lonely at first.
As someone without kids, I am the opposite. I need several hours of solitude each day.
Weird thing is, I need that as well! But I'm so used to that there is always someone in the house, when they are all gone it feels lonely. But then when I'm used to it, it's awesome and I do whatever I want.
