I'm on a work gig away from home and have been spending most of my free time alone. I like it and end up in these situations on purpose, but after few months it starts to feel a bit strange. I usually try to go out to do things as I feel happier about it than staying in. Some things like museums and art galleries are nice to do alone, but most things city has to offer are culturally meant to be done in groups or together with someone.

I do get conscious about it every now and then and things like eating in a busy restaurant weekend nights can be uncomfortable. Or going to see a gig and then getting very bored while waiting between bands.

Sometimes I see great things or I fall deep into my thoughts and get some new insights, but don't immediately get to share them with anyone. When I get back home after half a year or so most of my friends comment that the time just flew by. They ask me what has happened and it's difficult to explain. It's like nothing happened to me, but for many many times.
