Wow Gracie, if you figure this one out, let me know. I thought I was special cuz I isolate myself like that. I am known to lay across my bed and stare at the carpet for hours, cuz its better than trying to make contact with strangers. I am also alone in a crowd of friends. I have a job which forces me to be in public, often in front of large crowds. I must interact with them, and yet I find that draining, and I want to be alone, except that when I am alone, all I do is dream about being with someone and sharing time. What a confusing situation. -
