It’s not good to be alone, they say but I disagree. I actually feel more confident when I’m alone. It’s glorious to be alone. Other people stress me out. I like being alone with my thoughts. I don’t need anyone to cling on me. The only one I talk to is my dad. I both like and dislike meeting new people. It’s nice to see other people but it’s also stressful trying to be social. Being social doesn’t only mean talking. You can also be the observer. There’s a lot to learn by just listening to other people. I can’t understand how some people are so obsessed being with people. There’s nothing wrong being alone. Being alone is better than be with the wrong people. I guess some people need company more than others.

I’ve never really found a friend who’s on the same wavelength as me. When I meet new people it feels like it’s forced to start a conversation or keep one up. I rather be all by myself. Besides, when you’re alone, you don’t have to ask permission from anyone. I even go to the movies alone. I can go and watch anything I like. If I still watched TV (there’s nothing on) I could watch anything and I don’t have to argue with anyone. Living alone is glorious because of that. It’s not for everyone but for me it’s perfect. I don’t have to answer to anyone and it’s gonna stay that way.
