I calculated recently (up to 12 midnight), I spend 60 hours all alone in the apartment I rent.

Does it count when you're sleeping?? If not, really not that much... even though I live alone in my apartment, I have way too many activities during the day and evening, so I end up spending very little time by myself...

So... if sleeping time does not count, I would guess about 20-25 hours each week...

Noways I probably spend two hours or less alone per day (I have a slightly over- eager friend :p)
While studying spend most of my not- at - school time alone, apart from visiting my parents during weekends.

I would say 1 - 2 hours a week. Almost all of my time outside of work I spend with my beautiful wife. She is my best friend and we enjoy each other's company very much.

I'm not entirely sure. I usually have plans with people in the evenings. Plus, I'm an extrovert so I get my energy from people. Even if I do feel introverted, I would go to a local coffee shop just so there'll be people there so I can still be alone, but still be around people at the same time.

Typically, though.....since my life is getting back to normal, I am returning to my normal routine of being by myself after work besides working out with friends. So....minus sleeping at night time....I probably calculate 20 hours of alone time :)

Although... as I think about it... that's only true because right now I'm not obsessing over any games... that usually changes drastically once I cling to a game... then that time tends to double... sometimes triple... yeah... I need help....

I can tell you with a great deal of confidence, that I spend less than 25 hours a week WITH people. I can't be bothered to calculate how many hours alone that is.

I'm an introvert as well. My wife has extrovert tendencies but enjoys quiet time alone too.

I don't really think it's a good thing, but it is what it is.

As much as possible, which sadly isn't much if you discount sleep.
God is so pushy when it comes to doing ministry with people for some reason. How dare Him :p
I really do miss my video games and cartoons from time to time *swoon* oh Ori and the blind Forrest, when will I play you again??

ALONE??? What is the meaning of that word? I'd say 4 hours a week if I am lucky! I usually swim during that time to immerse my self in the silence and be surrounded by nature.

I feel your pain. Moving into my own place has helped, but I still have work every day, ministry commitments, and evening commitments out the wazoo (as is typically where commitments come from).
