I am 51 and spend most of my days alone, on purpose. People have caused me nothing but trouble since I have been a child. I can love others better when I am not in the room.

Other people are making my life shorter by giving me stress and drama. I'd rather be in my garden and with my plants and pets instead.

I retired 4yrs ago at 57 and couldn't be happier.<br>I don't distance myself from people to teach them a lesson, I distance myself because I finally learned mine.

As an introvert, and a person who has been single most of her life, I absolutely love time alone. OK, maybe not just sitting in a room with no reading or writing materials, but curling up with a good book, playing the piano for hours, going for a long walk, or tackling a sewing project are some of the things I enjoy in retirement. I also like traveling alone - less wrapped up in conversation with travel partners and more time to observe the surroundings. I do spend one day a week volunteering and golf every other week so that I have <b>some</b> interaction with the outside world.

In our state, the university is free for people over 65 so I am just going to go back to university during retirement

I had a college professor who noted about aging that “our bodies prepare for death while our spirits prepare for life.”

I'm introverted, but after 10 months of near total isolation, I'm definitely lonely. I guess I better find a senior walking group or something.
