I think that those of us who need a ton of alone time nonetheless have moments of loneliness. And when we do, we seek balance. Maybe here, maybe in a text to a friend we haven’t checked in in a while.
Yes, I fully agree with this. It's a bit of a paradox sometimes, no energy to see/meet people but a desire for connection and still feeling lonely. I really like to phone friends from the safety of my home. Sometimes I also like to go meet people, but I need energy and if I have to plan it in advance it stresses me out- best case scenario is a spontaneous walk or coffee with someone for in person meetings. I need to be in the right mood and have enough energy. But it's very difficult to achieve the balance as I think many people do not understand that I would rather phone them than see them and I am scared to say... so I just don't see them much ....
