Times of Solitude

I'm a pretty social person, I guess, but when it really boils down to it, I'm definitely a loner by heart. Honestly speaking, I've definitely turned down most party/gathering invites. I just get so bored and exhausted after a few hours. I mean, I don't mind having friends over, but the number rarely exceeds 2. Any more than that, and I need to hibernate for several days.

Plus most of my hobbies usually don't involve other people, and I like having the freedom to do whatever I want without worrying about others. Maybe this is a bit selfish, but is it really that bad to just do whatever you want once in a while? I do go out in moderately large groups quite frequently, but this usually involves food and a movie. Otherwise, I hang out with a couple people several times a week. If I'm shopping or anything, I like to have company, but I usually end up going alone, since I won't have to worry about time allocation at stores and people getting bored while I spend hours finding an outfit.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
