re: Do you like to be alone with your own thoughts?

Same here.

Have had roommates in the past that always had to have music or a tv going. John Candy was a popular figure that was like that. Perhaps Howard Hughes the opposite.

I like to be alone with my neighbor’s wife.

Dude...

This is why I enjoy deer hunting. Alone as long as I want to be.... Turn off cell phone and just chill.
Favorite time at the camp is when nobody else is there sit by the fire with a cigar and a whiskey.
let the mind go wherever it wants....

I like being alone, I don't know how someone can be around people ALL THE TIME. Don't get me wrong, there are times when I enjoy being around others, but I have to have alone time.

Not to mention, it's hard to get shite down when people are around.

Yes.

Hang in there. I'm 60, retired and I live that rat race every day. My best morning and day starts are when I wake up around 5am "most of the time before", I fix a pot of coffee and drink a couple cups on my patio. It helps me chill for the day. I do say my morning prays even before I start to relax.

If I didn't do that, my only grandson wouldn't have this paw paw. I had more of life that anymore disappointments I don't think I could handle. Yes, I had way more then enough.

We’re afraid of our own thoughts because we’ve created an environment where you’re met with stimulation at every corner. Just watch people on public transit and notice how they nervously check their phones. In the past, we were more familiar with being bored, so it didn’t bother us as much. A good antidote to this problem is exposure. Meditation forces you to sit with yourself without judging. It helps you recentrer yourself and find comfort in your humanity.

I wake up earlier every morning so that I have an hour of quiet time before I leave for work. I get up and get ready and then have my "quiet time". Sometimes I goof off on TD for an hour. Or catch up on a show on my DVR real quick. Or read my Bible and daily devotion and pray. It really helps to start my day off on the right foot to have that me time every morning.

Absolutely. People find it odd when I tell them how I recently drove from Mobile to Atlanta and never made a call, received a call or turned on the radio. It was a great day.

This is me, I’ll be driving and realize after a while I don’t have the radio on and haven’t been on the phone. I find it quite peaceful I enjoy being disconnected. I also have 2 lil ones so I imagine that plays a big part in it also lol.

Yep. One of my pleasures is hiking out to a secluded beach and watching the sea roll in, and think about stuff.
