Alone. Although I do enjoy the company of close friends for lulz every now and again.
But small talk and general socialising with people I'm not close with...fuck that. That's like pain.
Hearing people's bullshit opinions that they automatically assume I'll agree with kills me, especially when ill informed.
 
In the past I'd have said alone easy. These days I'm the one trying to get everyone to go out. I'm talking to strangers when out and making new friends and talking to every women I see. I've become pretty good at it. I'd say it's a skill that takes practice. I was out with a girl recently and she said, ok you just talk to everyone don't you.
 
There's a very small group of people in this world that I enjoy spending time with.

Everyone else I tolerate.
 
Generally I like being alone,

But it takes two to tango…
 
I enjoy living alone, well with my Roxie Sox, and having my quiet, peaceful privacy, but I also very much enjoy going out to large family functions and sporting events and festivals and parties and what not and interacting with big groups of people and sharing lots of laughs and fun memories

In general, not necessarily romantic relationship wise.

Just in your normal day existence. Do you prefer being alone or being with someone?

Honestly, I don't think I could ever be lonely if I were on my own with phone/internet etc. I would rather be with husband but while I miss certain friends I've learned to not need to see people every week other than him. I wanted to meet friends here but nearly 2 years in I just couldn't be bothered making the effort. The only social interaction was going for lunch with husband's trainer and his wife.

After spending 3 months in the UK looking after my very sick mother and step dad, husband and I were supposed to go to a 3 days music convention in LA. Like our absolute heaven hanging out with people we'd known over the years who were music nerds like us. I sent him off on his own. After those 3 months of trauma I just needed to drink wine, fall asleep on the couch and not make it to bed if needed, just march to the beat of my own drum for a few days. Didn't leave the apartment the whole 4 days he was gone and it was bliss.
 
I've had phases where I'm the nerdy kid alone on his computer or reading a book and then the douche that goes clubbing or house parties every weekend.

Older I get, the more I value peace and quiet. Even with solid good close friends, a few hours and I'm itching to be alone lol.

Living with girlfriends, I enjoy it but definitely need alone time so even if we're both home ill just go to another room and she'll get the hint and then do her own thing for a bit.
 
I like being alone but not alone in the house. Wife an I got it perfect. She hangs out upstairs I am in my man cave in basement. Alone but not alone <seedat>

A bit of both. I am good on my own but then again I welcome good company. Just not noisy huge parties 24/7, thats a bit too much.

Im in this camp. I never needed anyone to be around but enjoy it either way.
 
I like choosing if I want to be alone or not. I like watching UFC/Sports with friends but at someone's house, not in public. I hate trying to watch a game in a packed bar. The older regulars would always be trying to talk to me about sports or girls. I remember one guy he'd always tell me Derek Carr is a stud and he'd tell me stories of the old Raiders before my time.
 
What happens if I Could Eat and they aren't hungry... That's just weird.
 
After being around a lot of people most of my life, i prefer to be alone. If im gonna be around anyone, its my kids & family first, a few musicians i still do some "work" with here & there; & maybe a few dudes i fish with occasionally.

Im good.
 
90% alone to recharge and meditate. 10% of my time is dedicated to hanging out with people
 
I like being alone. Hell, I just had to cut off an old friend because he invited me out to watch the fights, I asked who’s going? Come to find out, he is with the same hoodrat bitch that got him put in jail, and is severely annoying. I told him I’m good to hang, but not around her, and of course he took offense to it. Told him that broad is not worth ringing my peace of mind even out in public.

I learned to really enjoy my own company these days, and prefer to keep it that way
