I love being by myself. I seek it out as much as possible, and when I am out I am just waiting to get back home.

I'm OK on my familiar routes and places (work, shops, pdoc and T). But when I have to be somewhere new I totally feel like an observer rather than a participant, and like the whole thing is completely unreal.

I always put this down to me being 'out of practice' and feeling like an insect crawling out from under a rock. Idk.
