I like being alone, but it's getting rough being so lonely. I need to up my zoloft.

So true! I spent 3+ years in an overbearing relationship. Been single and refusing to mingle for a year now. Couldn't be happier!

Just got off a relationship. After reading this post I start to realize that I relied on her to much. Being alone isn't that bad.

I like being alone but comparing myself to other people feels like a compulsion at this point

I think people with label makers tend to spend more time alone

It's like the labelled things speak to you, unlike your family, friends, neighbors, doctor... psychiatrist... mental institute ward...

"Loneliness" is a label, "single" is a description.

I agree with the sentiment totally but no way did Oscar say that http://www.snopes.com/quotes/timealone.asp

This really depends on the person. Im a hardcore extrovert. I need company, or I get really down. In the same way that introverts dont enjoy

Wilde was a crazy extrovert also. He was mostly famous because of how he was an extrovert.

Being pressured into social situations, I dislike being pressured to have alone time. Im not myself when Im alone.

Fair enough. But I think this is more related with being in a relationship to feel complete
