I spent a lot of time entertaining myself as a kid and I actually enjoyed the solitude. Sunfell, I really dislike when someone make judgments about me or anyone based on their beliefs and assumptions. I think people have to realize that there isn’t a single person that is one way and that people have different reactions to life situations. Do you plan to ever marry or have kids?

I like to keep in touch with my kids and family and maybe a couple of people. But I could stay home and go no where. Sometimes I feel like there is something wrong with me for feeling that way as my husband does not like to be alone and I'm the complete opposite.

It is wonderful to finally have my 'eccentricities' validated. I am a sensitive, fiercely intelligent woman who prefers solitude, and have had to defend myself quite a lot from people who thought they knew me better than I know myself. I have my 'people-time' and I have my 'me-time'. And if I don't get that me-time, I get cranky and difficult to deal with. I have never married or had children because I knew that I could not take the constant toll on my attention. I am a thinker of long thoughts and resent the intrusion of the telephone or doorbell when I am perusing a train of thought or writing. I am not sick, strange, weird, or any of the other things I was called when I was younger. I feel more comfortable in my middle age- people seem to be more willing to let me do my own thing, which I appreciate. Thank you for this article- and the entire website.
