I have not been officially diagnosed yet but this is how I feel as well. As a youth I wanted to be int he city and as time passed it was about finding better jobs and my friends. Now days in my ;ate 30's early 40's I find that I want to be alone and enjoy the time to myself and I daydream of being next to a stream or in a mountain top cabin just puffing on my pipe and staring off into the distance.
