i think i suffer from love-my-own-company syndrome.. is there such a thing?
Its not as though i dont like hanging out with other people.. i do! but when it comes to shopping, travelling, driving… i dunno… i just love being on my own.. its like as though i have freedom.. some sort of independancy..
im thinking, it may haev something to do with being the eldest and always having this constant worry about my younger siblings and taking care of them.. and therefore i hang for those times where i can just be on my own… shop till i drop.. go on walks and day dream..
how do i rectify this problem?? will i grow out of it… sigh

Why do you want to? Aren't you engaged now? Soon enuff you'll have kids, and then you'll be missing your solo outings. Enjoy it while you still have it left.
oh.. i just looked up the meaning for narcism.. thats not me... i guess im talking more bout just liking the time to myself.. and being my own person
Praising oneselve into the sky and feeling important, exaggerating own abilities, so other people see how good he or she is, with loss of reality.
Always engaged with images of the ideal relationship, great succes, power and striking with beauty.
Convinced of how unique and special he/she is and convinced that only a very few understand him or her. At preferral these few are people with a certain rank or status which the narcissist would like to belong to.
Demands exaggerated admiration from the environment.
Is willing to use others in order to reach his goal.
Is convinced to be privileged and expecting others always to consider his or her expectations.
A shortness of compassion, because acknowledgement of feelings from other people is not possible for narcistic patients.
haughty attitude and acting.
Is often jealous and thinks other people are jealous at him or her.
I understand Sadzzz. I feel like being on my own nowadays too, to the extent of moving out and living by myself. I have been wanting to go out shopping on my own for weeks now but someone always tags along. I just wish someone could magically appear when I need an opinion and then disappear.
It's funny you say this. Last night on Sex and the city, Carrie tells her live-in boyfriend to pretend she is not around. She wanted one hour to herself. Sometimes its good to be alone. I am alone most of the time when I am home. And I kinda like it.
shopping is one exercise ive always done on my own.. if im with someone else, i always end up getting something i dont want or looks completely hideous on me…
I can never shop if someone’s with me. I don’t even care how stupid I look wandering the malls by myself. haha.
