I have been such a recluse the past few weeks, literally just popping to do a food shop and that's it. I have been happy in my isolation. My family tease me for catching me talking to myself, but I have always done it.
When I was little my sister got married when I was 7 and so literally I was an only child and happily spent my time playing with my friend that was the dog. I am still like that now
I realised that I only chat on the forum when I work on the laptop. I don't use my phone to pop on here. I am a creature of habit.
Does everyone else use their phones to chat on here ?
Hi SD, I don't use my phone to talk on WT, I like a big screen and I get to see more of what's going on in one go if you know what I mean.
I know I bang on a bit about astrology, but as a fellow Pisces I have always been comfortable with my own company and prefer to be on my own, to do my own thing. I actually NEED time by myself. I had two slightly older brothers who were, usually off doing something together and I was happy to have their company when I wanted it. I'm pretty much the same.
It sounds like you tuck yourself away too, you're a creative person and creative people need that time out...recluse...that words used like it's a bad thing, i disagree I'm sociable too, when I need to be or when I feel I want to and so are you, but being sociable and entertaining is quite draining and we all need quiet time to recharge
I think when you've had a long time with several kids and a very active household for so many years, it's hard to find time, even whatsap breaks into your quiet time with constant messaging for the sake of it. Whilst typing this, I've had a barage of messages from YD and OH and I'm thinking, please just leave me alone for a while
There is a lot to be said for being part of a group, and the support and friendship that is gained from this.
I know what you mean Sunny D, and Bella. I too crave personal space...
Every few months or so I choose a place to book a hotel for three nights. Somewhere that I know and feel safe. I love going to a restaurant on my own, really doesn't bother me at all. OH understands as it's the way I have always been and he always knows where I am.
I could do with organising a few days away now . To be honest, he probably looks forward to the times I go off too
I use my computer for the forum and most things, I like to put my phone on airplane mode in the afternoon, it means I can still see what's what, but don't hear it every time it pings.
Is that what airplane mode means? I turn the sound off on mine:)
That's a lovely thing to do Cj, a few days away on your own - I like being on my own in my own home, never tried being away somewhere else on my own hmmm. Have just booked The Bar Convent hotel up in York for a couple of days in March. Love York, hope the art gallery is open this time.
