Wow thanks for the feedback everyone, it was actually really interesting to hear what you all had to say! I asked this awhile ago and somehow ended up answering my own question by spending time (you guessed it!) alone. I'm an only child and my parents were always rather busy growing up so I spent a lot of time by myself. Over the past several years i've developed this habit of wanting to be around/with people a lot. On a friend basis and also intimately. Slowly my own interests became less and less relevant. My personality began changing slightly because others had rubbed off on me. Dreams I once had for myself became vague and obscure. It seemed like things were hardly about me anymore. I forgot who I was and all of the wonderful things about me that made me who I was. At the time I asked that question, all that was fading. I was stepping back and learning to make time for ME and do the things that I PERSONALLY want to do. It felt weird at first because I was always so social but then I got used to it and I'm SO happy I'm back to myself. I will never lose myself again :)
Is it normal to want to be alone?
