Now when I think about it, I spend a lot of my time alone. I lived alone from 17 to 37, I parted ways with my only true friend when I was 24… yet I do not recall being horribly lonely. And I think people should learn to spend more time alone and, most important, undistracted. It looks like many are afraid ot the silence, or the voices from within they'd hear if they are alone and in silence. Forget your headphones (and maybe phone too) and go for a half-days walk. You may find something interesting even without going to the new places.

I really just can't sit in a silent environment without going crazy. At least need music. My GF and I broke up after a 2yr long relationship, having shared an apartment. She left and moved to a different city, coming home to an empty place after a long day at work was a bit too much sometimes, especially during the weekends. So when the contract ended I actually moved into a house share, where I like the company, there is usually someone always around. I am 35 and have never ever lived in a place by myself, apart from when I was in a relationship or something.
