I really love my alone time...I need it to recharge. I like having some time to myself after work and on weekends or I get really cranky. I usually like spending time with one other person (my fiance) and I know he's the right match for me if I can be with him and not feel drained. Sometimes I like socializing with groups of people...but afterwards I really need some time by myself. I've gone on weekend trips with a group of friends before and by the end I'm just so drained.
i am one extreme or the other. when i'm up in scranton (where i pretend i live), it's people overload between my giant family and the fact the majority of my friends are up there. when i get back to philly (where i actually live) i turn into a huge hermit. i don't even like being on the phone when i get home from work - it's my "me" time!
I'm a complete social whore, so much so that I've come to this thread to see if there are any London hermits to come to my gig tomorrow. You can have a dehermitising ceremony!
I'm the friendliest person you'll ever meet...at work. I make a living off of a big smile, being able to strike up conversation, making people feel comfortable and at ease. I can walk into a roomfull of strangers and walk away with a bunch of new friends.
Outside of work, I just want to be alone. I grocery shop at odd hours so I don't run into anyone I know. Same thing with just basic shopping - if I don't I'll run into past clients/current clients/business partners and never get anything done. Or people just feel the need to randomly talk to me.
It's a gift I guess? Being friendly. But sometimes it's an act. And one I've been good at forever. But deep down, I just like peace and quiet. And my own time. I don't get enough of it.
"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former. "
Albert Einstein (1879-1955)
