I have always been kind of odd and I have lived in many odd constellations and that has been OK. Since years though I live alone but I'm still very much connected to my friend who basically comes and goes as she pleases in my home so it is another type of living I think than truly living alone (I have done that too).

I'm actually quite OK with any of this. What I do notice though is I have a huge need of own time. I'm not like those people who feel better if they stay in close touch with others and socialize themselves out of sadness.

Some people truly feel bad for not being able to connect with others. I'm so not like that. I'm on antidepressants and I live alone. Or do I? I have my pets. Without, I'd go crazy and with people closer I'd go crazy too.
