<< I would personally prefer to spend most of my time with my friends, because it is more fun to talk to them or do something together, and because I can learn a number of things from them out of the interactions with others.  However, length of time I prefer to spend with others heavily depends on in which kind of situation I am in. In some occasions, I can prefer to be alone because the interactions with others can sometimes be stressful. I like to spend more time with others, as it is fun to do so.  I usually enjoy getting to know people and to make friends with them, and talking with them.  It is thought if ones spend the most of their time alone, and if they do not have anybody to talk to, they tend to be bored with their lives, unless they have anything special on which they work hard.  The interactions with others seem necessary in terms of maintenance of mental health in this sense. Another reason why I prefer to be with people is that I can learn a lot of things out of the interactions and communications with other people.  For example, when I listen to a friend on mine telling me some stories about her hometown and so on, I can learn about them and thus gain some new knowledge.  This helps me to widen my thoughts and views.  Another example is that when I am with someone who is enthusiastic and making efforts to achieve his goals, this can encourage me to establish my own goals and work on it.  On the basis of these considerations, I prefer to spend my time with people. However, this can highly be dependent on my situation, and I can prefer to be spend more time on my own.  For some period of time, it can be tiring to interact with others especially when I have much work to do and when I am tired.  Moreover, when I have a serious problem to which I should find out some solutions on my own, I tend to try not to spend much time with others. In other time, it sometimes happen that I need to be alone, because I have to think and make serous decision, say, on what I am going to do after I finish my degree here.  In these occasions listed above, communications with others turns to be rather stressful and tiring, hence, I occasionally prefer to be alone. In conclusion, I prefer to spend my time with others, because I enjoy communicating with others and because I can learn any thing s from it.  However, length of time I want to spend time with others can varies according to my conditions.
