Everybody needs "space" once in a while...I think it can be misunderstood by people as a disinterest in them and that isn't it.

Ever just want to be by yourself and have the other person get an attitude?

I chased all my friends away several years ago. Seriously.

Very few people stop by anymore, and those are only relatives.

Also, they never hang around. They usually just stop by to say hi and leave.

I'm thrilled to be left alone. Believe me! I am. banana

I find as I grow older I am beginning to push ppl away as well. Do you think it's true that we become more conservative with age? More Prudish even..

I never had any friends worth hanging out with anyway.

They were all drunken bums who would sit around and complain about all their problems whilst blowing their alcohol laden breath at me. They all smoke too. What a worthless crew.

Just don't know any constructive people. Or perhaps, better said, all the constructive intelligent people I know are married and they simply aren't interested in hanging around with a single guy anyway.

I am going over to the college on Monday though and start a summer program.

Maybe I'll meet some cool friends over there. dancing

Oh hell yeah I am one step from being Howard Hughes at times...without the money sadly...Happy as a clam in my own little world for the most part. I like my personal space. You know what's even worse is that the ones that get offended usually like there space as well but can't figure out why you can't be in people mode the same time as they are...oh look there is the world...guess who it's revolving around?...can you say antisocial...oh yeah definate hermit in me...yay

Absolutely... I've been hidng under a rock for three weeks - "energizing" my soul, contemplating the gender of angels, seeking simple answers to complex questions.

Yes, family and friends are offended and feel left out... I just shrug and smile grin

I think sometimes people have to realize that someone may need that space on "their" terms and just be senitive to that. dunno
