I enjoy being in a group and having lots of fun roaming around with friends. I love scrambling for tickets when we have just decided what movie we are going to watch and where. I love lazing around with friends, whiling away time at a quiet place with some interesting conversation. I think I am a fairly social person. It doesn’t mean that I don’t enjoy doing things alone. I love spending time with myself and am happy to say that.
I cant understand the constant craving for company for everything one does in life. When we used to do it as children so happily why cant we do it now. If you are spotted alone at a mall or an eatery, they act surprised and give you those weird looks. If you are spotted at a cinema, take my word you are a goner. You are considered as a freak if you hang out alone. Whereas deep down the line everybody has his own education, career and whims to tend to and everyone leads separate lives. Then why the false garb of not being able to live without the umbilical cord. You haven’t really learned to live if u haven’t learned to live alone.
Whatever the reason maybe, moving around on your own can be so much fun. I enjoy it as much as I enjoy good company, because I can give myself good company. It is certainly much better than hanging out with those people unsure of what to do and whose conversation is dull. It is the people who feel insecure when alone who cant roam single. Else it must be the immense social pressure against doing it. Some insecure fellow long long ago must have started it and lo! It has caught on as blight.
I wouldn’t deny the fun there is in hanging out with friends or family, but travelling alone has so many advantages. I can go wherever I want, no polls needed. I can linger around admiring a cool watch however long I want, no one pushing me around. I can go to whichever movie I want, no more asking friends when they are free. I can basically do everything I want to. Given a chance I would travel the world carrying a backpack (a huge one of course) and would prefer doing it alone!
