each person is different, of course. there's also one's obligations to consider. i -can- be reclusive, in my situation. if i had a family to take care of, a high pressure job, etc...that'd be different (and I'd probably be on a lot more psych drugs, lol).

hope this helps.
This really does help and makes a lot of sense! "Reflect and recharge" really stood out for me. That's something I need often. I have an overwhelming lifestyle as far as work goes, where every free minute of my day is important, where I need to unwind. That often means spending time alone, since it is tiring.
