I may not need to be completely alone, but it is a lot easier to remove external forces, so that the only forces I need to try and keep quiet are the ones from within. It's true I don't need a room. I have meditated outside before, at a park and under a tree. I found it really great, the fresh air and the feeling of being connected with nature... even though it was a park with concrete sidewalks. I will continue practicing and I understand where your all coming from about losing this desire to become "perfect" at meditation. It's a part of social conditioning that I have yet to break away from.
