As an Artist I need a great deal of time to myself. I can isolate myself and become a hermit of sorts. yet i do need human interaction. As others have said it might be to much pressure on your Girlfriend to be your only connection. i think we all have a fear of being judged to some degree. at this point in my life I feel you can judge me all you want. what the heck we all have our weirdnesses our quirks and that is what makes us Human. How dull the World would be if we all were the same.
