When they leave, it's as though a part of us walked out the door too and that can be very hard to deal with. I, for one, am good with being alone. I feel like I kinda know who I am when I'm alone, but when other people are in the picture for any length of time, it makes their going away hard for a while. When that passes, I'm fine with being alone again. I hope that makes sense.

I often feel that I don't really have a self. All of my life I've been able to assume different personalities depending upon the situation I'm presented with. Always thought of it as a gift as it's gotten by butt out of trouble more than a few times.
Also, I'll often imagine what it's like being a particular person to the point of taking on some of their characteristics. People that have been in my life are sometimes confused by this but on the other hand, I've been told that I do have some traits that are consistent such as intelligent, interested in the arts and sciences, and conservative in most matters.
Does any of this make sense?
