Do you ever get lonely?

I wouldn't call it loneliness, but after a couple of days of being alone I basically exhaust my options for entertainment and want to get out/socialize. That or I feel left out.

That said, if I have to go alone for an extended period of time I can do it without serious repercussions.
 
I normally like being alone, but I feel lonely every so often.

It's worse on valentines day. I hate that goddamn hallmark holiday.

I think you should give them some much needed companionship. Maybe make them some waffles. Then break out the syrup.

As to the actual question, only at certain times.

I will actually be doing exactly that this weekend; waffles with butter & maple syrup and some bacon on the side. I can hardly wait.

:camera:'s will be forthcoming? Of the waffles at least?
 
sometimes.

not often, but sometimes coming home to an empty apartment after working late on a winter night, it just hits me.
 
I never feel lonely anymore. I've been this way ever since I became the keeper of time. You can't have this job if you feel loneliness or let it bother you if you do feel it.
 
only when my son goes to his mom's. that sucks. he's the only person i think i could live with 24/7.

Sure, why not. Nothing wrong with a little breakfast porn.

Same here. My wife and I both enjoy alone time, often much more than spending time with others. However, my family lives 12 hours away, and I only see them once per year (not even that this year), so I miss them a lot. That's not the same as being lonely though.
 
The opposite. Even a low maintenance girl friends takes up too much of my time.

I was happy before where 90% or more of my free time was alone time.
