“I need to be alone for certain periods of time or I violate my own rhythm.”
-Lee Kranser
Are there times you need to be alone, and if so why? Where do you like to go to be alone and what do you usually do in your alone time?
When I need to process my emotions I need to be alone. It doesn’t matter where I go, as long as I can keep to myself. I withdraw from the world so I can internalize and dissect what I’m feeling. .
If I can’t be alone, I try to keep my feelings at bay until I can process them. Sometime, someone will be able to tell if I’m in a mood and ask me about it. It’s difficult to talk about if I haven’t processed it yet, which is why I try to keep it to myself.
For those who know me well, they’ve come to understand and respect this process of mine. My husband knows me enough and can immediately tell when I’m struggling with something.
It’s hard to get people to understand unconventional thinking. That’s alright though, because I don’t need everyone to understand me; just as long as there is a level of respect, I’m fine with it.
What are your thoughts on the matter?
