I strongly identify with this meme 😛. Thought others here might as well. There’s this “paradox” of much preferring solitude much of the time while knowing you need other people in your corner in life.

    It’s ‘funny’ because I want to interact with people, but interacting as myself means I feel drained. It’s a vicious cycle.

    Yeah, I’d much rather be alone and not have to think of how to act and speak but also I realize that I have a limited time where I will be living with my family and having them at that short of access. I’d like to say I’ve found a happy medium but I mostly like to hide in my room.

    I have a wife and two kids and work full time managing people.

    I have not felt lonely in nearly two decades, and would relish the opportunity. Any moment alone now is a brief reprieve with the knowledge it will end soon. I love my family and my job, but I miss being single and able to avoid interacting with people for a week or so at a time (outside of work).
