Groupie or Loner

[trainlady]

Are you more of a groupie or a loner type person?
I am finding I am changing so much. I used to love being in different groups, bible studies, Newcomers luncheons, etc, but here in the past couple years I am just moreso enjoying being at home. The last couple times I have been in group situations I was feeling uncomfortable and wanted to be home in my sweats, with a good book and a soda.

I do enjoy, on the other hand, going out to movies and out to eat with my girlfriends, but one on one, not in a group.......
Never thought I would want to be alone so often..........

Which are you more like?

I guess I'd have to say I am a loner. I like people, etc., but I like one on one. I go out with the girls from work ooccasionaly, when we can all get together, but I'd rather be home in my loungewear in front of the tv.

The biggest group I "hang out" with is my family. I love family get togethers.

I don't like to call myself a "loner", but I AM an introvert. I'm perfectly content to stay home (in my sweats - like you, Train!) and curl up with a good book or be on the computer rather than go to a group event.

That's not to say I don't enjoy having my "girlfriend" times. I love going out with a female friend - to dinner, a movie, shopping, craft shows, garage sales - but it has to be one-on-one.

It depends on the mood im in. Some days i just need time to myself. I love being with family more than anything.

Well, I've always been an introvert and had to force myself to do things where groups might be involved. I've always liked staying home alone and vegging-not possible to many times right now-there's ALWAYS someone home, but those few times when I am alone are heaven.

But, I do find myself wanting to join groups lately-my dd#1 and I are starting a Preemie Support Group for our county and I'd like to join a Red Hat Society(even if I have to start one myself). I'm one of the main members of our Children's Miracle Network group at work-raising funds and donations for CMN.

I also miss my girl friend times - going to the movies, dinner, etc with a girl friend. Haven't had a friend to do that with since moving up here from FL

I would have to say that I am more of a loner. I have always had a few very good friends rather than many friends.

At this point in my life I don't have sufficient time to have alot of friends. I work full time and am very involved in Girl Scouts.

At this point in my life I am trying to manage to get back into church for my daughter's sake. I know that I am busy but feel this is something I have to do.

I am an observer which is a loner by others standards. I like solitude and really feel I was born 150 to 400 yrs too late, back then people did not have to be as social or amused 24 hrs a day. I like to watch others when I am in a crowd and see how they react to the whole social scene structure, Conformer or Original?

[DeBora4BobbyL]

I am a very gregarious (outgoing) person who beats to her own drummer.

However, because I am in the public all day on most days, I cannot wait to get home with my DH and boys (dogs) and kick off my shoes and strip down and a big comfortable tee-shirt and undies! Of course, in this condition, I do not want company.

I'd have to say I'm a little of both. It depends on my mood, what's going on in my life and who the other "groupies" are.

My favorite "groupies" are my family.

I have always been kind of quiet, but the older I get the more I just want my own company. Always have been afraid of being judged, and found wanting. At the same time, I do enjoy people, just from the sidelines.
