hi ryan

I like people, generally, but i really like my own company, and i look forward to spending time, a couple of days or more a week just being with me. it's natural to want to be with people and its natural to want to not. it's ok to not want to be with everyone all of the time. you may naturally be the type of person who likes to spend a bit more time, not in the herd. if i don't get time on my own, i get overwhelmed by others energies and focusses, i need time to be with me, just to get my breath with me.

its really nice that they love you and connect with you, are you scared that if you don't respond every time they will cease to check in with you. it is a fear, they sound ok, it's a hard balance to get, being on your own and being with others.

your needs against the group needs. for myself, i thought, as long as i can phone them too it'll be ok. i can take this time, i don't need to be constantly there to be validated. i'm starting to ramble so i hope that this helps, it just felt close to my heart, this dilemma.
