I am always keeping myself busy just to avoid it.....my hubby drives a semi and gone all week, I am non~stop doing something....It drives me crazy sometimes....
No, because I really don't get lonely. I miss certain people when they aren't around, but I don't need or want people around all the time, and they wouldn't make up for the person I miss anyway. I mention this because it fascinates my shrink. Hey! Do you suppose this is why I'm such a slob? Because I'm not motivated to stay busy?
No; I'm very rarely lonely. I DO make myself busy when I'm upset or stressed, though. If Mr. Chili comes home mid-week to find me vacuuming or scrubbing cabinets, he knows it's been a day...
I get so much accomplished when I'm alone! When the Bear is out of the house, I find myself keeping busy. Never really thought about it being a way of avoiding loneliness. Good point.

You've pretty much described large chunks of my (mostly former) life.

I've never thought about it... maybe? I know I'm happiest when I'm busy but not overwhelmingly so.

Yup.
That is one of the reasons that I do all the volunteer work that I do.
