14. I'm a loner, straight up and down.
Tue Jan 31, 2023, 03:30 AM
Jan 2023

With the exception of not mixing in well with others when I must be in social gatherings. People seem drawn to me, most always seeking me out in social situations. Maybe that's why I prefer to be by myself. People always want something, whether it's only to hang out or go places and do things.

I prefer traveling alone, and if a situation arises where it would be advantageous to have someone else along with me, there always seems to be someone willing to accompany me.

Maybe that sounds selfish and egocentric, but it's my life and I really am my own best friend. I may be alone, but that's by choice and I'm never lonely. 😊
