I understand about needing space. I need a certain amount of solitude to be healthy. I need quiet time; time to meditate, etc. I need down time, etc...
But aside from that, I don't really like it when people basically boss me around for no good reason, especially when I can figure it out for myself and most likely NEED to figure it out for myself on my own timeline. I dunno, maybe they are well meaning and just don't get it, but in other cases they are can be just downright obnoxious. I've always been the kind of person who needs a certain amount of alone time, but right now in my life, I seem to need that even more. And I cannot hardly tolerate simple chit chat which is really harmless, but gets on my nerves. I just don't have time for it, it feels like I'm wasting valuable time/energy I could doing other things to really grow.
