Does anyone else go stir-crazy when left on their own for a while?

My flatmate's buggered off for the weekend, and all of my friends were busy today, so I've got out and done a few bits and bobs, but not really talked to anyone, and now I'm starting to go very slightly more insane than normal...

I like not talking to people :D

I used to love not talking to people, but recently if I've not had a conversation in more than 24 hours I go insane!

I grew up with 4 sisters as well as my parents. I appreciate my alone, talking-to-nobody time :)

I really can deal with my own company (I like the space and peace and quiet!), but yeah- after a few days indoors (got a studio flat- 1 main room plus kitchen and bathroom), I do start climbing the walls, even with so much stuff around to occupy me.

Doing something simple like going for a long walk is very therapeutic- even if your still 'enjoying' your own company. I even go for a spin on the bike to Boxhill when it's about the end of the riding day or raining, just to get out and get some air.

Or if you've got a local, pop in and chat to the regulars- it's bound to be entertaining at least (if my local is anything to go by!)

My jobs quite stressy and I get pestered alot with questions etc etc and I like the peace and quiet of just my own company now and again. I go a bit loopy if I dont get downtime.

Locals in Warrington are any places you can go in to without being stabbed :thumleft:

Can't be that bad! Just stand in the shadows and watch- like I said- Entertainment!

Isn't that called stalking?

It's not Thursday, so no stalking for me ;)

After 48hrs cold turkey you will be a changed man.

Aha- you can't beat a good stab-stalk any day of the week!

Sadly, it rarely kicks off in my local these days- dull dull dull!

I once had this conversation with my Pa in my local-

Pa- "It's busy here today"
Me-" Yeah- the golf lot are in"
Pa- "None of them are normal, though, are they- it's like that bar out of Star Wars"

Had me in fits! I've often wanted to hand them a CD with the 2 Star Wars cantina tunes on. I doubt anyone would get it, though.

Hicks had a way of describing it-

"Their eyes are so close together, the left eye is in the right socket and the right eye in the left socket"

"Hey! What you readin' f'r?"

If I lose a stone by Monday morning I wouldn't be able to ride any more...the wind-blast would carry me away from the bike :P

I like ME time but to much ME time makes me do ever stranger and crazier stuff so I know exactly what your saying.

But whatever you do.......... DON'T shave your nuts as it's NOT a good idea............ trust me!!!
