Do you prefer to be alone or surrounded by people?

[MechanicalDoom 300]

I only rly wanna be with close friends

[rarity1 461]

I don't mind being alone and I don't mind talking to people.

[Steel Accord 6,660]

I'm an introvert through and through. I can be around large numbers of people, but I quickly get exhausted and overwhelmed and have to excuse myself to catch my breath.

 

I prefer and function best in smaller groups. 

[Pastel 7,630]

It depends, I like to be alone but sometimes I want to be with my friends.

[An Unknown Pony. 370]

In the Middle,Sometimes i Like to be around with my friends,Sometimes i want to be alone.

[Haruhi-chan 486]

I prefer being alone. I'm not very social, and I often get overloaded or shut down if placed in too much at once. So, yeah... I prefer to be alone rather than being with others. The only time I don't mind being around other people as at my anime convention every year.

[Sommar 1,289]

I like to be with a small group of friends occasionally when I'm not busy. But there are times when I want to be left alone and not talk to anyone because of stress of school and whatnot. Sometimes I feel like I am antisocial because I don't hang out with friends a whole lot outside of school; I really want to start hanging out with people more often. Once in awhile I go to parties, but that's it for hanging with large groups. I sadly stopped going to youth group because I don't like being with too many people plus my anxiety kicks in.

[KatonRyu 1,033]

I prefer to be either alone, with my girlfriend, or with a small group of people I know well. I share almost no interests with most other people and I tend to be quite negative about popular things which has given me a reputation of 'that guy who hates everything and cares about nothing' despite the fact there are tons of things I'm interested in and passionate about.

 

This is not to say I can't be around others, though. I simply prefer not to be. I can talk to just about anyone, a trait I've seemed to inherit from my mom, but unlike her I don't use it much. Also unlike her, while I'm quite able to have a normal conversation with people I'm not very good at giving myself a social attitude, because it doesn't matter that much to me. In large groups, or groups where I don't know people, I'm generally the guy who awkwardly stands around listening to conversations and hoping I can join in somewhere. Once I do, I tend to have fun, but if I fail to find an interesting conversation I usually find a quiet spot and think about stories I want to write.

[SparklingSquirrels 21,366]

I prefer to be alone or with a small group of friends (but usually alone since I'm not good at coming up with things to say around people in real life; besides, I don't have any real life friends that hang out with me outside of school). I also dislike crowds, so I wouldn't want to be around a lot of people.

[catnet 9,359]

I prefer to be alone than be with a large or small group (I don't like it when there's too much going on with multiple people at once, and having them all staring at me if I were to talk... ), but I'd rather still have somepony with me for company  

[Lucky Bolt 35,097]

Being in a crowd or around lots of people doesn't really bother me as long as I get some alone time every now and then when I need it. 

[Splashee 28,577]

Alone. I can't focus in large crowds. 2 people max, after that I don't know what to look at, or talk to.

[daviddaviddavid 778]

Depends who the people are in question, but as a general rule I'd say alone. I'm a huge introvert and I've gone nearly a full week IRL without talking to another human being before, and been completely okay about it. If I can tolerate spending a lot of time with you then you're something pretty damn special.

[Early Sunsets 2,108]

All three, really. I love conventions, which are full of people, but other than that I almost always just want to be by myself.

[DixonTheAdversary 1,634]

I like to be around with friends or alone. I've never liked being around a lot of people that I don't know, which is why I will never live in a big city.

[Ocean Breeze 5,140]

Alone. I honestly can't stand lots of people.

[TBD 17,262]

I prefer to be by myself with my thought, my laptop, and my sketchbook. I don’t mind some few friends once in awhile but rarely. And having to live in a large family, I take my “me time” seriously.

[Longhaul 7,075]

I don't mind being in gatherings (like a theater or classroom setting), but I don't like to be crowded (parties, malls, concerts, etc.).  I need to have a means of escape if I start to feel overwhelmed and need to get some solitude for a bit, especially if I'm in a situation where I really don't know anyone except for the one(s) I arrived with.

[Dreambiscuit 10,491]

I prefer to be alone when I want to think or work on something that requires focus and concentration. But I actually do like bustling crowds sometimes. The sense of action and activity energizes me.

I am glad you have enjoyed being tied to my bed all week

[Muffinnz 3,223]

I always isolate myself in my room, everyday and night

[Kronos the Revenant 1,971]

I’d rather be by myself. Whenever I’m at a group of people, I’m mostly ignored anyways. At least when I’m by myself, I can talk to people that I want to in my head. 

[Cash In 22,706]

It's a double-edged sword for me. I prefer being alone and being able to focus solely on my thoughts, but on the other hand, I wish I had people who understood me and would be willing to get to know me for who I am. 

[Here No Longer 5,281]

I strongly prefer the company of me myself and I over most people on this planet, because social anxiety.

 

Though really I prefer being alone with my BF.

I like being around others for a certain amount of time but then I need my space/time alone.
