Do you feel tempted to hang out with others when in your heart you want to regroup by yourself, and is it a habit to postpone self time? What benifit have you gotten from it? It is excruciating for me to spend self time, but I know it is needed more than I do it!

Oh, my, Razeljenny...I am well into a year now of spending time alone. I need it! When a girlfriend or even a male friend calls, I make excuses. I still do go out occasionally and enjoy it with them, but I definitely need this time alone. I'm admitting to myself I am most comfortable solitarily in my little nest of a home!
I have a teaching job with middle schoolers, plus a grad class, and aside from that, I like being quietly alone!
Even as a child I craved privacy and solitude so I could "muse!"

I am alone almost everyday...except for husband...I cannot go out socially...I have anxiety disorder...but I don't mind being alone...I keep busy...watch tv...knit, do crafts, computer, computer, computer...lol

(((razeljenny))) I spend a lot of time alone due to having really bad allergies/chemical hypersensitivities and agoraphobia...I find time to be social, I also like the alone time at times to finally get a chance to work on me!!! without guilt!! I kind of just go with the flow, find a balance between both. Going with the flow, I don't have high expectations-reasonable ones, and I don't get big letdowns....so, this probably didn't help you at all, LOL....sorry.

I hear you, 100%. I spend all my time being with others and trying to give to them that I don't spend a lot of time by myself. But for a somewhat good reason, I find that unless I am in a specific mindframe that I get ridiculously lonely by myself.
