Do you need a "cave" of your own to come home to?

Post Reply New Topic

Actually I live across the street from a mud house. I always wondered if an aspie lives there, but the place is too creepy looking to investigate, and there's a "no trespassing" sign on the door.

I definitely need to retire to my cave every night, but my bedroom, which is only big enough to contain a mattress, which touches three walls, and a small TV is perfectly sufficient

ooh this is really ideal. The smaller the better. Then when you become famous MTV can do a Cribs episode in your room

Yes, I have a very strong need for such a place. When I don't have one, I become increasingly stressed over time. As for unexpected visitors, I tend to ignore the doorbell (I don't really invite people over, so people don't come around uninvited, anyway). Outside noise does agitate me and I don't tolerate it particularly well. I am facing an indefinite period of time living with a friend, and the thought of not having my own cave to retreat to is a rather frightful one.

My living room in my apartment is my cave. I do get annoyed when people show up unannounced or call me asking me to do spur of the moment things when I'm just trying to unwind there. A remote cabin with high-speed internet sounds really nice.

:D
I always wondered why all those celebrities prefer huge houses, when they have all the choices in the world. Why doesn't anyone want a cozy cottage with a mini-cave for a bedroom?

And there's a house across from you that is really made out of mud??

Oh yes. It's built into a hill across the street from my parents' suburban house. I wonder if someone actually lives there because it looks abandoned. Occasionally I see a beautiful black horse grazing on the property, but I've never seen a human.

I would LOVE a cave of my own!

I had my own bedroom from age 11 until I left for university, which was not too bad.

Right now, there's me, my wife, four teenage daughters, and a 3-br half-duplex with about 1200 sqft. (Man, it's expensive to live in southern California; you do NOT want to know what we're paying in rent.) I would love a place big enough for us all to have our own spaces -- one daughter is autistic, but even the others like to cocoon now and then -- but that ain't gonna happen right now.

when i live with my girlfriend she's got a closet that's just perfect! it is much too small for me to stretch out in completely on the floor. but curled up on the floor i fit in there very OK. it is small silent and dark and my mood pretty much always goes straight up like a rocket after being in there half an hour or maybe one hour. i usually stim a lot in there too to be honest. rocking. then normally let that phase into meditation gradually. and normally i experience intense sense of joy.

i used to think of it as first being a sticky shapeless difficult-to-manage piece of dough .. then after the appropriate time in the "oven" i was baked into a firm crisp solid manageable tasty loaf of bread -- magic!!

i normally try to do this when i'm home alone and also i make sure the cats are closed out of the bedroom (which the closet opens to).

Yes.....and Adam West is my butler......fiendish filthy criminals , beware !

What do you mean by lose your energy? When you are there, do you feel sleepy or lack motivation?[/quote]

I mean lack of motivation and sleepy.

Yes. Now that I'm at home, I need it more than ever. Being around people all the time is a strain.

Everyone needs a place and a moment for quiet and privacy.
