Yeah some folks want to listen to different music than you do or do different things OR spend the whole freaking time f***ing. THAT gets old in a hurry. When you're by yourself, you can decide what YOU want to listen to, where YOU want to be, and what YOU want to be doing. Now, if you can find someone that likes similar things and isn't selfish, that would be nice but if not, it's better to do it ALONE than have somebody RUIN the whole thing! Besides, when you are by yourself, you will notice things that you might not when you're distracted by someone else. It is excellent for "creative" moments.....
