But yeah I hate being alone too much, but I do still need time to myself because I just get too overwhelmed and sometimes I do need to actually feel how I feel and think what i think without any input or distractions...otherwise it can be hard to know.

Yeah, being alone too much is kinda like going from solitude to isolation. Being overwhelmed and not having time to think can confuse you about whether what you're feeling is your emotions or someone else's emotions being projected onto you. I had that problem once too. I used to live in a very crowded home where everybody else's emotions seemed to be extreme and there was too much drama going on. It stressed me out and going back and forth between people who always wanted my attention and wanting me to do this and do that only left room for negative feelings and being mentally exhausted. I don't live there anymore and because of that I was able to finally figure out what I'm feeling and what I'm thinking. All those negative emotions weren't really my own, they were just a result of being in a highly stressful environment with too many people.
