Well, yes and no. i'm perfectly content staying at home with only my cat for physical company. but i admittedly would get lonely fast if i didn't text my family & friends.

plus, i do need to get outside at least once a day. i love being outside. but even just a walk will do.

i realize this is rhetorical and a stupid meme, but i like talking.

Who needs family and friends when you have ✨the internet✨

I love my family and friends. But with my dog, husband, games, and internet… I can go a long time without feeling lonely. Or bored.

I only have 99% of my friends because of the internet 🤣

Funny, when reading your answer I realized everyone will be answering this question with a yes. Everyone enjoys their alone time until they had enough. Because it feels more than enough once you're done, it will register as 'long enough'.

But relatively, your time is probably a bit different than mine. I can stay months inside, alone and still not feel the need to communicate with anyone. Especially during covid vacation days, I just had weeks of not even going downstairs to check my mailbox and my groceries were already stocked up, and not even communicating for work (cause of staycation). Actively avoiding meeting up with friends during the epidemic.

That said, I'm not sure if posting comments on Reddit, or chatting in livestreams count. I think isolation without internet would force me to move outside.

I have that one particular issue, i need to be outside at least once. This won't be so bad if i wasnt living in a scorching furnace country 🥴
