So, for all of this no one ever answered my question, "How do you control the urge to talk to other people?"

It's not an overwhelming urge as I've gotten used to being on my own most of the time. But about 2 or 3 days a month I just would really like to talk to someone and I know I can't. This urge generally coincides with the time in my cycle when I'm ovulating, since women tend to be more gregarious then. I tell myself that the desire to talk to people will pass in a couple of days, when I enter a lower fertility phase of my cycle, but I don't always find that helpful.

It's not like I want to pester someone with my troubles either. I couldn't celebrate with anyone when I got a promotion at work. I couldn't celebrate with anyone when one of the pictures I took ended up winning a state competition and participating in a national photo exchange. I am utterly alone.

How do learn to stop wanting to talk to someone?
