Do I really like being alone?

Dear anonymous,

I tell myself a lot that being alone isn't a problem. My roommates are both in Theatre Drama Studies so they spend a lot of time out of the house doing rehearsal or spending time with people in their own program. They're like a tight knit family - a lot of them have known each other since before university. So I get left home alone a lot, or studying at Starbucks alone, or watching tv alone...

In all honesty, I used to value my alone time a lot. When I lived with my previous roommates, I reveled in it. Mostly because one of them, Anita, was always around and tended to get a little bit clingy. Alissa and Natalie were great but they were distracting as all hell when trying to study. The four of us just never got anything done. So I loved having the apartment to myself and being able to just hang out in my room blogging and listening to music or studying.

Now I'm not so sure. Maybe it's because I'm alone so much that I dislike it now. Don't get me wrong, sometimes I don't want to see anybody. I still have my days where having the house to myself is really nice. But I find myself seeking company more and more often now. Especially since everyone around me has someone.

I think maybe I'm not made to be around others. Like I'm meant to be alone forever. Not in the tumblr-forever-alone way but in the be-satisfied-with-your-job-being-your-life way. Is that possible?

Love,
Michelle
