How long can you spend alone?

[buttons]

when i was socially anxious/depressed i would happily have lived the rest of my life locked up in my bedroom alone
but now i start to feel depressed if i don't see anyone other than my boyfriend after 24 hours
i actually can't wait to go back to work after the weekend cause i want to interact in person with people.

so for me i'd say 24 hours maximum

I've never really spent that much time on my own. I think I could go two or three days though. I'm quite an introvert person in real life so I don't always feel the need to express my opinions or make myself heard so I could easily go without talking, seeing or interacting with another human.

depends, i don't care for people so could go forever as long as i could talk to people online on teamspeak and stuff

I'm not really sure, I like being alone during the day, I can get on with whatever I need to do and finish that, it's just having the motivation to do it. However, I don't really like being alone at night, it first began after I had my first and only panic attack, this person told me something and it caused me become anxious and panicked; I had that comfort when my boyfriend came that night so I've always wanted someone to talk to on a night. At that point the guy who made me have the panic attack was who I spoke to on a night and after that it sort of stopped and I've never really filled that with anything, so in the day as long as I can be, at night not much at all.

The longest I've been alone is 2 weeks when my mum had a stressful week at work and stayed at her partners. By the end of it I was so down and miserable xD

I'm alone quite a lot so I'm used to it, but the maximum I can be alone before I start getting down and stuff is probably two days

I spend most of my time alone I'm not good at going out generally, but I do try to keep some human contact even if it's electrical

[Kyle]

can spend a few weeks alone at a time but generally prefer a day to myself once a week

[-:Undertaker:-]

ummm depends on my mood but generally I like to see most of my friends once a week, if it's anything over like two weeks it's like WE NEED TO GO OUT.

When I was younger I used to spend an awful lot of time by myself and because I had such major anxiety I wouldn't leave the house whatsoever. I probably went a few weeks, just by myself. Now, I absolutely hate it. Even a few hours, I just look forward to some human interaction. I just feel myself get quite lonely now, even if it's for a few hours.

People really irratate me.. Like i have about 3 really close friends. Everyone else i meet or know has to be something special for me to make an effort with. I can easily spend 4 weeks alone as i find things to do & im always busy drawing or doing something to waste my life away. But i do work in clubs on a weekend again now so i pretty much spend the week alone after my dayjob and then the weekend i actually socialise properly

I can spend a lot of time on my own (3 days) but then i start to want company and scream for it but then when i have it i dont want it as much as i did ;(

[Matt]

I don't mind being alone and I do enjoy being by myself but other people make things funnier. I do actually annoy myself but could probably last quite a long time.

[Rachy]

Idk probably a few days.

[j0rd]

not very long, probably 24-48 hours at most
I don't know though, I've never really spend anything over a few hours alone

[Zak]

I could probably go for quite a long time without human contact

[Kirstt]

about 3 days

[Gina]

depends if im talking to anyone really
if im not talking to one i literally cant cope unless im asleep
then in summer i was ill and couldnt go out for like 4 days but that made me so sad :( that was still seeing family as well and could talk to peeps
so really not long at all lmao i thrive off social contact
i dont really mind afterschool or anything bc i have family and i know i see people the next day anyway
but i always meet at least 1 friend everyday
in summer i didnt go out for prob a week in total out of the whole 2 1/2 months and 4 days of it i was ill

[dbgtz]

As long as need be so long as I had something to do.

I love being alone. I love the freedom of looking, feeling, listening to what I like. I mostly sit away in my room by myself now. My dad always tries to force me to socialize with him, his gf and their friends because he doesn't really understand the mentality of it.

Since starting my new course though, I've made some great friends who are brilliant to be around irl. I've developed more of a social life and have being going out more, and therefore been alone less. I think I could go days, maybe weeks of being by myself if I had those small times were I do see my friends. Couldn't be around people always, every minute though.

It depends if im bored or not really. I'd say a couple of days!
