Sample Answers

Do you usually spend time by yourself? Yeah, I do spend a fair amount of time by myself, especially during the week when I'm not in class or working. I find that having some alone time helps me recharge and focus on my own stuff, like reading or working on personal projects. It's a great way to unwind and clear my head, you know, after a long day of interacting with people.

What did you do the last time you were alone? Actually, the last time I was alone was on a Sunday afternoon. I decided to try out a new recipe I found online, so I spent a few hours cooking and experimenting with different flavors. It was really relaxing, and I enjoyed the process of creating something from scratch. Plus, I got to enjoy the fruits of my labor afterwards, which was a nice bonus.

How do you usually spend time when you’re by yourself? When I'm by myself, I usually like to do something creative, like drawing or writing. I find that it helps me express myself and tap into my imagination. Sometimes I'll also watch a movie or a TV show, but I try not to spend too much time in front of screens. I also like to take long walks or go for a run to clear my head and get some exercise. It's a great way to stay active and energized.

Do you like spending time alone? Yeah, I really do. I think it's essential to have some alone time to reflect on your thoughts and feelings. It helps me stay grounded and focused on what's important to me. Plus, I'm an introvert, so I tend to recharge my batteries when I'm by myself. That being said, I also value my relationships and love spending time with friends and family, but having some alone time is crucial for my well-being.
