I am an introvert and so I really like to be alone. However, until I start my full-time position at work in March I'm still on the very part-time schedule I was on while in school, and so I can go for over a week without being scheduled to work. This sounds incredible but the problem is that it quickly becomes isolation and my sleep habits get all wonky (I also prefer being awake when the world is asleep) and I will eventually stop wanting to leave the house. I'm not a hermit or an extreme introvert; I actually fall more into the ambivert category and I like to get out and enjoy the city with friends. It's just that I get very (and blissfully) wrapped up in my own head pretty easily.
