What Do You Think?

I was just about to look for a video or something to post because despite all of the ideas I had to write about today, the words wouldn't come tonight. Then I refreshed my Twitter feed and saw this.

Rev RunRevRunWisdomSum of u like 2 wrk alone.. but isolation is actually a sickness...
This caught my eye because I like, and often prefer, to do things alone. This goes beyond work and projects. I went skydiving by myself, dance classes, museums, plays, etc. Most of the time when I tell people that I want to do something and they offer to do it with me, I'm thinking "Did I ask you?" It's cool to have people around to share experiences with but sometimes I'd rather not. Or maybe it's more the coordination and compromise that I don't like. Somehow something I wanted to do has to be fit into someone else's schedule, budget, convenience, etc. I don't know what it is. Anyway, what do you think about it? Is it strange? a good thing? a bad thing? "a sickness?" Be honest.

I think working, being, doing things alone is comforting. I spend a lot of time by myself, usually not out around others. You're the coolest for having the nerve to do big things alone.
It;s not a sickness. It's comforting to know that you can depend on yourself, have a good time alone, and do things that you enjoy without needing someone to join in.
