Yes I do believe I need a lot of time alone, it is very important to me. I can get quite agitated when I don't get my lonely time. As for conversations, If i know how someone is doing, I don't ask 'how you're doing?', and some people think it's rude, I guess.
I do like getting on a bus and going to new places where I feel anonymous, since I know that no one will judge me or talk to me for too long. I feel worse when I'm around people I know, I feel like I'm constantly being judged.
I do feel good when I help people, even if it's just giving people directions. I don't like getting too close to people.
