I've learned to be cheery and positive and jokey around others but I can't keep that up too long. I get tired and sad and stare off in space in strange ways and I prefer they don't see that. I either say stupid things or get uncomfortably quiet or awkward when I hit my limit with being around people (which is kinda short). But I also have this desire for a deep connection with another person that my short social fuse does not permit. When people see the awkward sad person i really am I know I'll lose them so i try to maintain some distance...I have a love hate relationship with the loner lifestyle but after years of it I'm comfortable with it. ugh...i don't know..
im the same way....I prefer to be alone then with people...like you said if im with them for long enough I get sad...quite stare off into space. I try everything to be alone say I have to use the bathroom and just sit in their for hours till one of them knocks to see if im okay then I leave I go home and lock myself in my room away from everyone where I feel the safest and most comfortable...its a weird feeling I know...I just hang out with them for as long as I can and then I go home to the safety of my room
