    What do you guys like to do when you're single and your friends are busy on Friday and Saturday nights? How do you enjoy your solitude?

    Books, video games, music, netflix, the Internet of course. Sometimes I get my guitar out and play it. I've always been a bit of a loner though, so I've gotten pretty good at entertaining myself.

    I've always been OK being home alone. Prefer it sometimes, actually. But I lived as a hermit almost the entirety of my 20's.

    Thanks to everybody for sharing your hobbies. I too feel like a loner in my mid-20's sometimes.

    If being alone so much is making you unhappy, then I'd try finding some activities you enjoy where you could meet people with similar interests. When I got into playing music, I met a lot of cool people at public jam sessions.

    I like going out with friends from time to time, but I've always been pretty content to do my own thing. It did take me awhile to get over the pressure from others to go out and be social more when I really didn't want to. Other people trying to "fix" you can be a real pain when you don't think you're broken :>

    You're right, I think some people are just more introverted than others, which isn't a bad thing. Some prefer to have more alone time to themselves. I'm like that, however I still don't have that many friends. I think it would probably be a good idea for me to search for groups to find others with similar interests like music.

    That's cool, I like learning new languages. I'm currently trying to master my fourth language.

    Pron, building my gundams, video games, YouTube, working out, etc. I just try to keep myself busy when I'm not with my boyfriend.

    I also enjoy time on my own, though. I find it relaxing to just be alone in my thoughts sometimes.
