How do you spend your spare time if you're not socializing?

Hm I do go out during the weekends - shopping, dinner, movie etc.. with my cousin or a few friends. Though it's hardly a "MUST-do... NO ONE'S GONNA BE INTERFERING WITH MY PLANS!" sorta thing.

I'm okay with staying at home on a rainy day reading a book in bed or playing badminton if the weather's fine.
On the weekdays? Nah I'm sucha nerd, maybe out for dinner or something yeah.

Parties.... hmm, that would depend on what kind of party it was.
ooOoh is it a small intimate gathering with a few close friends? suUUre I would love that.. too bad my best friend is literally across the globe from me now. I hardly go to parties anymore, even if I'm invited.... I just don't see the point.
Large badass parties? with lotsa booze, weed and hardcore dancing? Mmm.. no. I can't seem to find any interest in any of those activities.

On a good day and I'm not socializing, which happens often.. I can be reading a good book or reading something that interests me up on the internet, for hours or days without talking to anyone... well okay, maybe talking to the dog but .. obviously she's not going to answer me ehehhe. If I'm upset or troubled .... I guess sitting or lying in bed while contemplating about life,the past,present... fugure...my objectives is something I do often. Most of the people around me can't really help me out when I'm troubled, which just leaves me being alittle annoyed inside when they go all touchy-feely and "OH LET ME GIVE YOU A BIGGGGGGGGG HUG". I don't need that.... not really.

Yep.... preeetty boring. Not social.
Well if I do come across someone who I feel a connection to, I can be pretty social. I might even go to the extent of impressing them etc.

I dislike parties and dances. I love to hang out and socialize at any other place.

[MNiS]

Very social. Although strangely enough, I don't have a need to be around others much.

I sometimes force myself to be social after many weekends of alone time. But I participate in sports and in class, so I'm more social than the average hermit.

[Grey]

I'm hardly social at all, due to both preference as well as the situation I'm in that limits opportunities for socialization.

I make sure I go out about at least two or three times a month, usually for events where I share a common interest, such as philosophy or boardgames.

Spare time is almost all reading, with some music and internet surfage mixed in.

With parties, it depends on the people and the setting. I hate bars-- loudness, darts, not for me! Maybe later in life after I rack up a few wins I might join a softball team or something, but for now, there's a lot of stuff in the queue that needs to get done!

As a second job, I work in a club. The other side of the bar can be fun. But stupid.

I attend parties, I love crowds, the mall, the city, a big group of friends. However, I'd much rather spend time with just one very close friend, and interact on a level most party-goers tend to neglect.

So I guess I'm a mix, but my preference remains with *quiet* socialization.

[Singularity]

I only hang out with people on a one-to-one basis 98% of the time. I try to keep in touch with friends as best I can, but I find that I feel overwhelmed at times by obligations to hang out. I find myself trying to keep people at, what is for me, a comfortable distance.

Usually I go out to eat with friends or get tea or frozen yogurt - something where we can talk. I also like to wander around with them talking or just sit in the grass at the park and talk about things. I have friends that I go hiking with as well. Sometimes I spend the weekend at a friend's house that lives out of town, but those are friends that know I need alone time so even though I'm there all weekend we only talk for part of the time and the rest of the time I read or think by myself.

I really enjoy my online friends. I feel like these relationships provide me with a way to exchange ideas - which to me is what I seek in human interaction - while at the same time providing a natural barrier/boundary for me to feel less overwhelmed by the interaction.

I like to hang out with those close to me. Tolerate those that are far but closer then others. I tend not to talk much once a rooms occupancy is over 6 or 7 and usually get the hell out if I cant think straight. What I do when by myself: sleep, read internet articles, expand on a interest of the moment and completely forget what time it is and end up realizing that my body needs things like food at 3 or 4 hours past the normal eating time.
