I like to be alone, what does it tell about me?

Great responses from jeremy and agua

I don't think this is a question that anyone here can answer for you...... though I will say that i don't think enjoying alone time is necessarily indicative of any one attitude/quality of character/etc..... so... that's something you have to answer for yourself. Why do you enjoying spending time alone?

there have certainly been periods in my life where I sought out alone time intensely. over time, it became clear to me that I was not coming from a place of acceptance/understanding, and really I was just avoiding certain situations/relationships. so, personally, that told me that i was rejecting experiences because i was fearful, or what-have-you. i wasn't coming from a positive place, lets say

on the other side of the coin, i do tend to "take in" people's energies intensely at times (i wouldnt call this a character trait, i feel its almost a boundary issue on my end), which results in me ending up drained and needed time alone to recoup. so, in that scenario, it's something more of a "positive" thing...

I guess my point is, it really depends on where you're coming from. I love spending time alone to do "me" things.... meditating, making art, reading.... though at times, i have sought it out for all the wrong reasons (avoidance and such)

so yeah, I don't think you liking to spend time alone says anything about you on the surface, it's more a question of why you like doing that....

also, welcome
