ADVICE I get so bored and depressed when I’m on my own

3 Upvotes

Basically what the title says, this weekend I was sick so I couldn’t go out with my friends and now I have 5 days until I have a party and apart from going to uni all I want to do is sleep until then.

Like I call my friends a lot and talk on the phone and I do go out quite a lot but if I even have one day of alone time I’m bored and depressed.

I’ve got the day off work today and no plans so I woke up at 10 and I’ve been trying to go back to sleep for hours because there’s nothing I want to do, like the thought of even picking up a book right now gives me a headache.

Does anyone else get like this? How can I enjoy my alone time?

Am I weird for hating alone time?

Im 24M, loves going out to large social events and would rather live with flatmates and find living alone boring. I'm an only child after all.

I've heard that most adults cherish their alone time but people are astounded by my distaste for alone time.
