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

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

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
