Living alone

I've always considered myself a very introverted person. But recently, living alone, both away at College (where I procrastinated, avoided work, and came back home after 1.5 years there) and in my own parents' house, when my family is away, I've realized how different I function when I am living on my own, regardless of mitigating circumstances like the ones I faced at college (new environment/classes/etc.) I think I need people around me, maybe all the time to function properly. I need to be like part of a team. I function quite well at work, when I'm with other people, and with a supervisor over my shoulder. When it comes to being alone at home doing homework, though, can't do it, or won't do it.

I'm still very much an introvert though, and have few if any friends, so it's hard for me to find myself in a kind of social living/working situation with other people. I've been thinking about going back to college, but for that to work, I'd need a very good friend, or group of friends to live with/work with. However solitary I might think I am, I don't think I can live independently.

How about you? How do you deal with your alone selves? Have you found strategies/techniques to help you function as independent members of society?

When I'm alone, i just make my own friends from carcasses of the animals I've shot. My favourite is Mr. Piggywinkles. Me and him like to play alllll the time.
Mummy doesn't like me playing with my friends though, but now she does. Mr. Piggywinkles showed me how to make her just like all my other friends and now we play all the time.

Did you ever see that movie "Heat"?  Robert De Niro's character said this:

"I'm alone.  I'm not lonely."

I do believe that the first step is to like yourself.  Once you achieve that, being alone is at least tolerable.

What do you do when Mr. Piggywinkles swells up too much after a few weeks and then pops rotfluid all over the fucking place?  I don't think Mummy likes it when that happens.
