Last Saturday in my post about Celebrity Nipples I ended with a poll about whether or not people would have plastic surgery if money was no object. The majority wouldn’t.
I used to do a poll every Friday, so I thought I’d bring back the Friday poll using “would you rather” questions. Here is this weeks question: Would you rather be completely alone for a whole year, or be constantly surrounded by people for a whole year? In the comments give your reason for your choice!
Have a great Friday! ~Phil
Oh my God- this was such a difficult decision. As an ambivert, both would be an absolute nightmare for me. I finally went for being alone for a year as there’s a very good chance I’d end up murdering someone if I was constantly surrounded by people. So as I really don’t want to kill anyone, I went for the first option. I think I might cope with it ever so slightly better. It would be horrible though. No doubt I’d drive myself mad. Better that than a murderer.
I know what you mean. This was tough for me too. My company has meetings where outside of sleep, I’m surrounded by people for 14 hours straight for 6 days in a row and it drives me crazy, but I think if I were alone I would go crazy, so I opted for the people
I would definitely pick the being alone option…there is no way I could handle being surrounded by people all the time! Murder would most likely happen, and that is not cool.
I want to try them both on for size. If I had to pick only 1… I would say surrounded for a year. Just finished 8 months of solitary depression back in December, so I think I’ve basically covered the alone time.
Oh, and Happy Friday to you, Phil! 😊
Thank you Danielle!
I feel the way you do. As much as I like Time to myself, a year of it is way too much
Alone, I am happy with my own company, I could catch up on sewing and reading.
For a whole year? You must really be behind on your reading and sewing
I have loads of cross stitch to do, plus I can always reread some of the books. My partner has the whole collection of Terry Pratchett that I keep meaning to read. Plus I have things like war and peace, lord of the rings, which will take a while
You definitely should read Terry Pratchett!
I know, I just never seem to have enough time, lock me in my house for a year and I will make sure I do
One I would recommend is Good Omens. It was written by him and Neil Gaiman
thank you, I shall look into it, I am starting to get more orgnanised so should be able to start reading properly a few times a week
I chose alone, too. Only because its preferable to being surrounded the whole year. I really wouldn’t like either one! I could probably manage to accomplish a lot in a year alone though… and then spend the next year partying!
LOL
A really tough one Phil. Though I like alone time I’m afraid after a year I would become an eccentric cat lady. I’m going to go with people.
That was my reasoning to.
haha, can you imagine the wild eyed look in one’s eyes after, say 6 weeks.
I know! I think being alone is worse than being annoyed
I couldn’t agree more, my annoyance is their problem!
I’d have to be surrounded by people, I can’t be alone for too long.
Either would probably kill me but at least with being alone I’d get a heck of a lot accomplished… 😀
Constantly like… in the bathroom too? Cuz that would get weird. On the other hand, I know myself well enough to have noticed that I’m talking to the walls if I’m left alone for a few hours—I am not meant for a solitary life.
Not in the bathroom, but the rest of the time. I’m the same. As much as I like alone time, I need other people
I don’t even want to think what might happen if I was surrounded by people 24/7 I would go nuts.
I’m not saying I wouldn’t also go nutty in solitude – but at least I wouldn’t hurt anyone, and I’d enjoy it most of the time.
I see I made the popular choice, Phil. I could not be around people continuously for a year but, on the up side, I would probably be alone by the end of it!
