I know that I am introverted too. I love my alone time...where I can think, write, and just plain get myself together.

I like being around people to a point, but sometimes it can be exhausting too. I've always worked in jobs where I had to be outgoing and talk to many people all day. I was really good at that, but whenever I got my lunch break I would have to go find a quiet place to just have some peace and quiet.

Now, I'm a SAHM (via adoption) and I've found that as much as I enjoy being a mother, I need my alone time even more than ever.

I think that my depression can make me tend to isolate myself sometimes, and that's when I just have to work through whatever is making my depression worse. Sometimes, I just have to get away from everything and have some time to deal with my emotions and my depression.

So, I think that what you've said is very true for many people. I think that sometimes everyone gets a little worried about being isolated rather than introverted. This was a good post. Thanks for sharing
