I do, and it kinda sucks, but it is kinda good.
all my motivation is intrinsic, meaning i dont rely on anybody but myself. i have noone to compete agianst, except myself. and im my worst critic.

This is me...

Exactly
 
I train alone 80% of the time and will get a spot when needed from people I know at the gym. Like louden says I dont need anybody to motivate me to to push myself self, and yeah my shoes are pretty rank also. I guess socks should be worn with my training sneaks.
 
I train bench with a great partner, Bigguns15. I also train traps with her. Our training differs quite a bit to grab any other workouts together.
 
I trained alone for many years. Anytime I can train with my brother, it's far more productive. Kinda like an EF meet up or visit, I guess.
I've had a few good training partners over the years, and that always kept me going, but the majority of the time, I'm a loner, too.

Now, I basically train alone except for squat days, when I try to hook up with a couple of the guys I work with.
 
i dont mind other then bench. i almost always have another 2 reps in me, but if im alone i wont go for it. but its better then the alternative. theres people who will bench alone and then just yell "SPOT" when the bar is almost crushing them....thats dumb.
 
I do my own thing, but I have friends in there who can spot me if need be.
 
I'm the same way. I don't need a workout partner to motivate me, or push me to give 100%. I like to have one on occasion, but the majority of my workouts have been alone. Usually my best workouts are when it is just me, my headphones, and the iron.
