Ok. You come home from work..
Now what ?. Do you have a routine?. What do you do to get yourself through to the next day.. being alone is not easy! so what do you do to keep your mind off of it... cooking for one is difficult! do you cook or just simply eat cereal or soup... do you bring work home with you to keep yourself busy with.?. Or do you just sit mindlessly in front of the TV.... I would like to know what the single people..do. to keep their minds occupied.. and off of the fact that they are home alone... |

I pose the question.. because for myself I have my boys, and of course milo my dog to take care of.. so I keep the house clean for them, I make meals nutritious meals ,for them...
I always have someone to keep company with.. in the house so I don't feel so alone... but I have a lot of friends that are single and alone.. And I always ask them!. It must be hard to just be by yourself.. they say yes sometimes it is!.. cooking for themselves seems to be one thing they all struggle with.. so hard to cook when it's just for you.. and then there are those nights when they feel totally alone. . So I always wonder what did they do to keep occupied.. If it was just me myself by myself I would have a hard time with it.. I don't do well on my own..lol |

Your question is a difficult one but is sincere The facing of loneliness is daunting but with support creating new friends, interests, hobbies and other pursuits such as classes, education, clubs, organizations and or volunteering help bridge the gap from solitude to interacting with others and this is the beginning of addressing ones loneliness...

My kids keep me busy some of the time. I try to spend time with them. They are all grown, so it can be tricky.
Aside from that.. I go out with friends from work. I read. I take work home. I watch tv. I cry sometimes. I sleep. I text a friend. I play games on the computer. I go to meet up events. and recently, I have been dating - with no luck.  |

It doesn't bother me that much to be alone. I cook. I watch tv. I read books. I go for a drive and a walk. Once in awhile I get lonely and go on some dates, but I'm an introvert, so I need my alone time.

I've been on my own for 18 years now. I tend to like my own company but there are many times I wish I had a compatible lady with me.
I used to cook a meal at least 4 nights a week but that has dropped to 2-3 and it's lunch rather than dinner. I spend time on the computer checking out dating sites that I'm on, and I DO read profiles. I'm slowly getting the yard in some sort of order as I've only bought this house 2 years ago and it was a rental property for 20 years or so. I keep my house reasonably clean and tidy. I belong to a Men's Shed where there are about 6 regulars and we talk, have coffee, help the community with different projects etc. I go away for a few days to my brothers place which is 295km away every now and then. I retired at 65 (now 72), I watch TV, help people with computers (I'm self taught) and don't charge for my services. The biggest thing I find when I contact women in good faith is that 99% won't reply if they aren't interest. It seems to be the "new" no. |

I don't have a job, so I'm always home, and alone bar for my two cats.
I don't have a problem being on my own, I need a lot of "me" time. I don't mind someone being around me, as long as they're not in my energy. But I do have goals in life and things to do that I like. Enough hobbies to keep me busy. Lot of online stuff too, as that's relaxing to me (cos of my neck problem). And I spend an awful lot of time on personal growth and development. Books, webinars, meditations etc. In the evening there's some tv watching (on PC), social media in between, my own spiritual forum, phone calls with friends (sometimes 4+ hr-long calls), reading (ebooks on PC). I do an awful lot on my PC. I hardly ever get lonely, I can be by myself so well, that I sometimes have to kick myself out of the house. Although I did occasionally feel lonely the last year or so, but usually not for very long. I have to admit I sometimes find it more difficult now that I have met him. We don't see each other all that often and yeah, now that I have had a taste how good it feels to be with someone, I can miss that. Miss him. (Not in a pathetic way, more in the good sense of it.) Cooking and dining alone, yes. Worst thing of it all. Also worse since I've met him and had some really nice dinners together. He can cook really well, and we also made some dinners together, and dang, that's just so much fun! Going back to cooking and eating alone after that is difficult. Sleeping alone has never been a problem for me, still isn't. Only when we've been together, the first 1-2 nights.. miss him like crazy. |

The first thing I do after getting home is a shower fallowed by finding something to eat. Then I spend a few hours checking emails, dating site profiles (7 including this one), maybe stream a show or two. Then I brush my teeth, use allergy eye drops and go to bed. On my days off I run errands, do my shopping for the week, do laundry, clean my place, read, play video games, stream a few shows/movies, and dependent upon the weather hike, bike or work out. After all that I end the day the same way I do when I'm working, shower, dating sites and then bed.

I would like to know what the single people..do. to keep their minds occupied.. and off of the fact that they are home alone... When I am home alone, I protect my home from Joe Pesci.

I really don't have much spare time, but when I do I relax abit around the house or meet up with freinds.
I keep busy and prefer to get out whenever possible. |

Isn't it kinda funny how single parents can be out of a relationship,but you see your young children in happy relationships doing just fine with no problems at all...well with a little help too,but they look so happy all the time...
I guess that's enough to keep me happy...

I absolutely LOVE IT!!! my time is my own! I can leave for the world in a heartbeat, and stay away for months or years! I can go fishing at 03:00 and leave for 4 days and not be hounded or accused of something, including negligence... If I need to talk to someone, I can call a friend, but it's rare, and it's nice that I can give back to the world when I want to on my own time, repair Katrina houses, or help victims where they may be in the world.
I meet many on my journeys, and though my heart is more than filled to the brim, they fill it further, just doing what they do, and living their lives. it's a beautiful thing and precious thing to see. My work is a dream job,(I put in my time though, lots of time) and would drive others nuts, and it does to my work mates that have wives, as we are on the road 8 months out of the year. their relationships strain at times, but I'm built for this I guess. long ago, I desired to have THEE relationship...I did for 13 years, and we are best of friends, but grew apart and became better friends yet. I can't explain how I feel, but I'm just glad I love my solitude... I'll go weeks without a single word at times.. When I do speak, my voice doesn't come right away... I could never live with another creature of any kind, ever again. Creatures of all types are welcome to visit now and then though.  call first, as I may not be there.

For me it's easy..
I play a game or two on my tablet.. Work in tube yard, on the trucks, on the house, or help neighbors with their stuff.. On the weekends I contract shred and mow for people i know.. I go target shooting and then clean my weapons... Answer messages on mingle and on my other date sights I'm on. So for me being alone is never a bad thing.. I really don't need to be justified by social gatherings. |
