Wanting To Be Alone

Post Reply New Topic

i desperately need time alone. if i'm around other people and forced to interact i get frustrated, bored and depressed. if it goes on for a long time it's torture. i cant deal with it.
my neighbor on the next entrance, (because there are two entrances to the building), used to stop by to talk to me on occasions, and i cant explain how much that bothered me. every muscle in my body tensed. and one guy used to drop by to visit unannounced and sit for hours, and i would groan inwardly and really, REALLY suffered. it was like roots canal without navocaine. every minute stretched into internity.
my brother, whom i suspect might be an aspie, barely talked to me ever since we were children, and not because we had a fight, because we didnt, and not because he doesnt like me, because he does. my nieces told me it's hard for them to get him to talk, or spend time with them, and his wife confided in me that he wouldnt talk to her much. he barely talks to our parents. and he does love his family, very much.
the only persons i actually want to spend time with face to face are my brother and his family, and sometimes i need time alone from them, too!

I need lots of time alone, too. When I want to be on my own I get really angry and frustrated when I get interrupted or someone walks into my room.
If I'm forced to be social I find it really difficult and keep needing time-outs. If I'm forced to be social too often without enough alone time, I shut down and withdraw for days.

I like being like this as well, like sitting in your living room NAKED. Blasting music anytime I want, can browse anything I want on the net. Heaven it is!!

I also love having alone time. It doesn't happen very often, so I treasure every minute of it. As far as movies and TV go, I don't mind watching with others as long as they're quiet.

'I never said, 'I want to be alone.' I only said, 'I want to be left alone.' There is all the difference.'
