Is independence attractive?

I don't have many friends, so I do almost everything by myself (playing golf, going to the beach, going to movies, even the occasional eating out alone) and it got me wondering... most people think that this is being wierd or creepy, but doesn't that portray the opposite, in other words, doesn't that show that you are confortable in your own skin, that you don't need a person with you to enjoy things? I think it does tbh... What's your guys opinion?

Usually when a guy says they don't hang out with other people I usually think they are either of the mentality that they are too good for everyone else or seriously lack social skills. I don't think many people would do stuff alone out of choice and therefore can't figure out why anyone else would.

Well, I never "say" I don't hang out with anyone... just naturally happens that I do the majority of my activities alone.

I don't think it's creepy, but then again, I'm a pretty similar person (I do enjoy hanging with my friends/other people more, but I also crave those moments when I can be alone with my thoughts and just observe in solitude - these are more outdoorsy types of moments though).

If you enjoy it, then don't worry about it man. If you want to do something and no one else wants to, that shouldn't stop you from enjoying yourself. But be prepared to be labeled as creepy, or loner. Or just refrain from telling people your activities or that you went alone.

Do what you enjoy.

I personally enjoy being social but a also love having some time to myself alone
