I really do like being alone. No, It’s not
because I don’t like being with people, I love people. The reason I like
being by myself is because when I’m with people I see my own weaknesses
in them. When someone is rude to me I remember when I’ve been rude and I
feel guilty, when someone does something stupid I remember all the
stupid things I’ve done and my face burns with shame. Why did I do those
things?
It’s not that I don’t like people, it’s that I just can’t stand my own shame.
Interesting thoughts on being alone.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy being alone too but for entirely different reasons. I put my all into being with other people. So much so that I'm exhausted when I'm finally by myself. It gives me a chance to unwind. Then again I'm a introvert and we really need to give our batteries a chance to recharge!
