Oh and that reminds me :)

If you are alone, you can't get rejected or hurt.

Perhaps that is part of the prematurity factor. I know from parental experience that premature babies can have traumatic, medical problems that make them sensory defensive.

I know litle about you, but myself I am encased in people daily. I find myself when time allows, occupied by hobbies that are solitary in nature. home projects, hiking even the long rides with no destination. I do at times get corralled into seeing a band and other events, which are good, don't misunderstand. But one day by myself doing wwhatever it is, is comparable to a 3 day weekend for others.
Too much of anything is not good for you....it appears you have freinds that will not let you get too much of what you crave and that is a true freind. Annoyng as hell, but a real freind the same.....Who can annoy you more than freinds and family....
You are loved Antsy.....Deal with it.
Just an opinion

An introvert inside an extrovert...

Being alone "energizes" me - gives me time to collect my thoughts and feelings, leaves me balanced and ready for whatever.

Antsy your looking and sounding very grown up today!

Should we be worried about you?

No you seem to have it all worked out,

Sometimes I love being alone, like you and Paws when
on here especially.
But sometimes I crave company.

The Librian in me can't make up my mind!

love the photo Antsy

I crave solitude more often then not too.

It can be confusing, I am very introspective, but it also comes from my deep attachment to others. I need time to recharge and sort out my thoughts. If I don't get enough solitude I completely zone out when people are talking to me. I don't do it intentionally, it's just how I am.

A good friend can be great for helping to keep us in balance. Mine, I have known for over twenty years and he comes around and drags me out if I stay isolated too long.

Anyway.. Hope this helps. You are not alone in your need for solitude, and it doesn't mean you're heartless.
