The issue of privacy.

[Anal Assassin]

I am beginning to enjoy isolation more and more. I don't want to take it as far as living out in the country away from all people, since living in the city is convenient, entertaining, and sociable. It's just when I am at home that I want to be left alone. Sometimes I just don't want to talk to anyone, I don't want to be bothered, and don't want to concern myself with anyones existence.

Maybe it's a form of selfishness? Does this make me a bad person? It's just that spending too much time with the same person, weather at home or not, begins to irritate me. The time frame of irritation seems to be greater when with the opposite sex, especially if there is an attraction, but even then the aggravation and irritation eventually appears.

I like to socialize, to go hang out and have some fun, but when we did everything that was planned and things start to get dull that's when I want to bail. I don't see the point of hanging out when there isn't anything to do except be bored. That when I want to go home, relax and spend time on my own. Then I might want to go out again. But I need a period of isolation.

People are so clingy and dependent on me, or maybe it just seems so. They want to be together all the time, which causes me to push them away. Bringing people to tag along with me is such a pain. When I have errands to run I have no time to concern myself with anyone else.

Does this sound familiar? Am I the only one? I want to stir up some discussion here, maybe I will get some enlightenment.

You just gotta get it in people's head that you don't want to be with them at that time and that it has nothing to do with them (regardless if it does or not). At first you come across as an ass but eventually they understand and stop pestering you. The same thing happens to me.

I can relate to A LOT of what you said. Some people just love being surrounded by others, and others don't. I have a huge impulse and desire to be "free" (as incredibly corny as that sounds).

After I graduate from college, I plan on pulling a "Walden Pond" and living in complete isolation for 3-4 months, and writing about.

I think you can learn a lot from yourself.
