I prefer to be alone, yes, but sometimes I have to head near civilisation for a while, even if I just go to a shop. Living where I do, all my old school friends considered it to be a far away land or something, and have lost contact with all of them. I am not at a loss because of this, instead I'm glad I don't have to get on a bus or be jostled in the high street.
As much as a lot of people I have come across exhaust me, to that same extent there is a minority that I feel drawn to, maybe because they aren't as irritating as the rest, maybe I connect with them in some tiny way.
If I'm with company, I'm usually the one sat to one side, staring into space, having to be interrupted to get me into a conversation I don't want.
