Is it also that we need time to recharge? That when we’re out of juice the prospect of a simple conversation seems daunting.
I can go like a rocket but when I run out of ‘fuel’ I burn out like a rocket.
Total fatigue.
For a long time I considered myself a ‘loner’ but part of it was, as people are suggesting, being weird, different and not fitting in to the mold and therefore struggling a bit in social situations. (Dr. J talks about how ADDers find small talk boring.) And yet, I loved being in social situations and onstage in front of large groups, which of course is very structured and I’m in charge.
And there’s a difference between cherishing some quiet time and being a loner.
The fact that we’re all reaching out to each other here suggests we don’t want to be alone, doesn’t it?
