How self-sufficient are you?
Jump to: Newest in thread
Are you the type who moans about being bored, or are you someone who will always find something to amuse or interest you?
Do you expect others to give you their attention and entertain you or do you eagerly exploit lulls in activity to read another chapter, catch up on another episode, catch up with a friend or family member, update your music playlists, pursue a hobby, etc.
And finally, which personality type are you yourself drawn to more?  |

I am split, I need crowds, loud places with good music and good people.
A large percentage of the time though I want to be on my own with showbox, science documentaries and podcasts and no interruptions.
Introverted extrovert I guess. |

I can see that reflected in your photographs!
I've had an argument with my youngest niece recently because she keeps announcing that she's bored. Never seems to occur to her to find something to do... Just expects everyone else to provide her entertainment. Her sister is the polar opposite... Has an inquisitive mind and is always researching how to do things, or designing and making things. |

I believe I’m very self sufficient. I know what I want, when- one reason I’m on this site. The people who I’m drawn to? Strong personalities who aren’t afraid to be different |

"I’m very self sufficient ... I’m single no man about the house apart from a son .... always entertain myself never get bored always something to do  "
I may be a little too self sufficient if I'm honest... I like my own space and doing things myself and can sometimes resent interruption  |

I never get bored. There's always something to keep me occupied. Usually music-related. I rely on no-one, and no-one relies on me. I do enjoy going to gigs with my friends, but I enjoy coming home to an empty, quiet house, too. |

Practical terms. I built a log cabin this year big enough to live in. I did it all from the ground up.
I can also make gin and chutney so I got the essentials covered.
In other terms. I am pretty content in my own company. I am organised and can make my own entertainment. I’m all good. |

"I have always been able to amuse myself. I prefer my own company."
And i like quietly confident people. Matter of fact, say what they mean and mean what they say types. Outdoorsy types who are good with their hands or who are very technically minded. Someone who is strong minded but not in your face with it. Laidback. Fun to be with. Sees the best in people. Kind but no pushover.
I’m describing my future husband again but it applies to men or women really. |

I live alone and prefer it that way. I never get bored though as I am pretty adept at finding something to keep me occupied, I love cooking, diy, I even ask other people in our block of flats if they've got any odd jobs that need doing sometimes
I guess I'm attracted to people who are doers as well  |

Seriously though, I love my own company and I'm happiest lost in my own messed up thoughts more than anything else, quite happy to spend time alone
I'm drawn to and attract broken ppl  |

I'm very much a loner, and since my divorce I've discovered I'm quite adaptable. Cook, clean and look after myself or others. If I need female company I can get crossdressed 
But in all seriousness I like living alone, the freedom to do what you want when you want to is liberating. Obviously it would be nice to have a partner but happy enough for the time being living independently |

I'm a quiet, home loving person who's perfectly happy with my own company. I love company but I don't need it, I'm never sad when someone has to go except my bf, anyone else I'm happily looking forward to snuggling up or pottering about on my own. |

"If I have a musical instrument such as a piano, a guitar or a trumpet, I need never bother another human being again other than so I can eat. Luke
I like that! Do you play many instruments? "
I only play one well - the piano - however I dabble in various ones. The guitar has been particularly portable so that has led yo me doing more of that that others. The trumpet is also portable but I can't play it in built-up areas without being lynched. I have also dabbled in bass guitar, drums, harmonica and accordion but I claim no great abilities there.
I have recorded stuff if you were interested to hear it.

Very self-sufficient in terms of finding something to do. I have got stuff I want to learn, get into that will take years even a lifetime to achieve. learn and relearning.
However, when you say self-sufficient I think money and the basic needs. working on that  |

We’re both very very self sufficient, crave solitude from the world at times , never get bored , both enjoy our own time . We’re both totally non needy people & we both can’t abide needy weak people . May sound harsh but that’s us & if others have an issue with that then it’s their problem , hence we have acquaintances not friends . |

I’m self-sufficient and fiercely independent in all aspects. Being a singleton I only have myself to rely on.
I tend to gravitate towards those with outgoing, positive personalities. I can’t be doing with propping people up if they’re not will to try for themselves. I speak as I find and prefer those who are the same. |

I'm an empathic introvert, although I love studying people, too much company is wearing as other people's emotions drain me. I need time by myself every day. At this point in life, I know exactly where to draw the line with emotional vampires, but enjoy the company of people who can give as much as they take. |

Oh I'm horrendous for procrastinating! I really have to give myself a kick in the bum sometimes because I'll put off tedious tasks like cleaning the bathroom and work out the chords to 3 new songs instead, or mean to rake up the leaves in the garden but end up photographing them instead |

I love my own company and I’m happy in my own space. I can enjoy my own time and play music, do my hair, read, do my hair. Sometimes however I do miss company, however I do like my own space.
I think if I was gonna be with someone he would have to be very understanding and independent, I can’t be with a needy man. |

I actually realised after posting this thread that there is another personality type I neglected.. Those who seek to entertain. Not attention seekers as such,because the attention they receive is incidental, but those who are at their happiest when amusing or facilitating others... Attention givers maybe? |

Incredibly self sufficient financially, and after recently moving house, I decorated/ wallpapered/ did the garden by myself.
And I enjoy my own company.
If I ever get lonely at weekends when I don’t have my youngster, I have a “Cheers” type bar where everybody knows my name... and the landlord is a mate. The regulars are an eclectic bunch and I’ve made friends.

I'm never bored, I enjoy my own company too much. I'm not sure what that says about me
I can always find a way to amuse myself. I do enjoy the company of others but I hate being the centre of attention in a group setting and more often than not I'd rather be alone, or with my immediate family. Which makes me sound a bit weird. |

Self sufficient? To a degree.
I do sit about waiting for B to call most nights if I'm not working, but in all honesty I wouldn't be going out anyway as running a house leaves me with an empty purse.
If I'm at a loss for something to do I'll watch telly or sleep if there's nothing that takes my fancy.

I often moan about being bored.
But I dont expect others to entertain me - I'm usually talking ( sometimes out loud to myself )
I'm usually bored when I'm trapped at work and find it difficult to accept the drudgery and have little motivation or drive to do anything about it.
In my free time I'm rarely bored and enjoy my own company.
I enjoy so many things that keep me endlessly entertained and inspired.
I'm attracted to people that aren't needy.

I disagree with this saying.
Sometimes the circumstances you're in are boring.
Like work.
If you're bored in your free time that's when you've got a problem! |

Kids today seem to get bored within 5 minutes when they're not being entertained. Toddlers sat in supermarket trolleys watching a film on a phone....!
When I was a kid we went off to get water or hunt wild boar or make cave paintings. We still got bored though. |
