Finding me

Do You Ever Feel the Need to Be Alone?

Dears,

Sometimes, I have this urge to be alone—not talk to anyone, just sit in silence for a long time. It’s not that I don’t enjoy socializing, but I feel like I have a battery that runs out. And when it does, I need time alone, sometimes even sleeping all day, just to recharge.

This happens to me from time to time, and during those moments, I struggle to deal with people. But how do you explain to others—especially family—that you just need space? Instead, I keep running away, isolating myself more and more, until I feel completely exhausted.

Do you ever feel this way too? Or is it just me?
