Why do I have such a strong need to be alone?!
Question: Why do I have such a strong need to be alone!?
I'm just starting my senior year of high school
Over the summer, I would spend six to eight hours by myself everyday before my parents came home and before I would go out with friends!. I really enjoyed this and basically just relaxed!. But now, I've had a week and a half of school (eight hours a day and my parents come home about an hour after I get home so I barely have any alone time now!. When my mom came down to watch TV with me I had a breakdown!. I need several hours a day alone and now that I'm not getting that I'm incredibly stressed out
Right now I'm crying upstairs because I just wanted to watch television by myself because I don't get to be alone with myself basically at all now!.
I don't really understand whats wrong!. I should be able to socialize with people and take the little time I have alone to myself but it stresses me out even when my parents are in the next room!. Like I want time to be alone in the house or awake when they're not so that I can feel totally alone!.
I just don't get what is happening or what I can do!. I feel like normal people don't need to spend the majority of their time alone to be happy/functionalWww@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
Don't worry-you are very normal! And not alone! You are an introvert, that's all!. We like to recharge our batteries by ourselves!. We quite enjoy our own company!. We need to hear ourselves think!. We also tend to pick up on more details in the environment than most people!. We notice everything, so we get easily overwhelmed!. On the other hand-extroverts like to use their down time in the company of others!.That's how they recharge their batteries!. Different strokes for different folks!. Most extroverts don't get it and think we are being asocial which is not the case!. So you need to explain it to them until they do get it!. Unfortunately, society rewards extroversion, for the most part!. I do know how you feel-I get 'peopled out' after shopping or attending a party and have to chill by myself!. I do wear headphones a lot to keep unwanted noises out when I'm by myself!.

I have anxiety issues and I do best if I get alone time, of course I have husband/family, so that is really hard sometimes!. But if I don't, I get a little stressed too!. It's your age, I was doing that too-nothing is wrong with alone time-it's good that you learn now that you need it, then you can deal with people better!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You are not abnormal!. You got used to the time that you had to yourself!.
I am the same way!. Sometimes I just want everyone to leave for a little while and have my own time!. It really is a good thing when you can do that because it makes the rest of the world more tolerable!. Just get yourself time whenever you can, and don't worry about it!.

I'm the same way, I like to be alone!. People like us can entertain ourselves and usually have a very big imagination so we don't feel a need to fill a void to be around people who can entertain us and keep us busy!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
Oh my god! I feel the exact same way! I do not have an answer of why, but if it helps at all, just know you're not the only one who feels this way!. It definitely made me feel a bit relieved, so thanks for asking this question!Www@Answer-Health@Com
you are just different and a bit abnormalWww@Answer-Health@Com
How is your relationship with your parents!? How is your relationship with friends!? What are your plans after high school!?
Have you always needed alone time, or have things changed!? (If you have always needed alone time, then you're 'normal'!.)
I'm not sure what's wrong!. But, senior year of high school is a very stressful time!. I remember worrying about what I was going to do after graduation, leaving friends and family, going to college, etc!.
If there is a high school counselor available, maybe you should seek help!. If you do decide to find a counselor, be aware that you need to find a counselor you are comfortable with!. Not every counselor will try to help you in the same way!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think everyone needs alone time!. We all need time to think and have down time!. I don't know but you might be trying to shut things out of your life It might be causing you anxiety!. It is easier to be alone than to try and be social!. You should try to allow yourself 90 min alone a day but the rest of the time you should try to spend time with your family or friends!. Work on a plan on how you can get over this !. Talk to your parents and see if they have any suggestions!. Join a youth group or book club!. It might help to do something that is more relaxing at first than something too overwhelming!.
