Discussion Lonely Places

[Captive_Mind515]

Does anyone else find themselves always seeking out solitude, to the point that you're searching for the loneliest places you can find?

This is literally all I seem to do now. I even feel a bit bad for my dog, because I'm dragging him to some strange desolate places just to go for his walks. Although, I think he pretty much just enjoys being with me outdoors…

It's strange… I deliberately seek these places out (and even research places of interest on google maps)… but then I keep thinking about what a weird anti-social person I am and how I must be some alien type of character. I keep telling myself I should behave more like a "normal" person… but I can't…

For example: I recently camped out in some strange basement/cellar of a ruined house that's buried deep in a forest. The creepier something is, the more I'm drawn to it. If something is forgotten or abandoned or nobody goes there, I somehow end up in that place. Like there's a magnet drawing me in or something.

I'm not surprised I have no friends… even I wouldn't befriend me…

The first thing that came to my mind where the old stories about north american natives (indians not the ones from india lol) who climbed a mountain to die when they were getting old. Not sure if that's just a myth or reality. Sounds metal as fuck IMHO.

I watch a lot of videos of people who explore lonely forgotten places but my fear of injury and pain keeps me from doing it myself but i totally get why it's interesting.

Also i am certain your dog loves it. He (or she) can pee in places no other dog peed before. :)

Relatively normal. We want to see ourselves reflected in the art around us and architecture is a kind of art too.

Always wanted to do that kinda thing myself but it's all parking lots all the way down where I live....

EDIT: Just make sure you and your dog don't interact with any water in these places, can contain diseases, especially if the water is still (not running).
