If you are, why do you think that is?
I find people to try my patience. I prefer to not be around them as I might just say something that would not be either kind or helpful.
Also, and maybe more of the reason, I think I am just too much for most people. I am strongly opinionated, loud, foul mouthed, outgoing (pushing the limits), adventurious (always ready to change things up), and just don't want to take crap from people. I believe this is more common for women of a certain age. And part of the reason I have not been able to secure a good job.
And maybe just a tad bit insecure and worried what others think or feel about me. I keep a buffer.
What are your reasons.?
I have my ideas of what my goals are and how I want to get there. I find it burdensome to have to minimize myself to not hurt feelings or what ever emotional reaction someone may have with me. If I am footing the bill, which has always been the case, I can't see a lot of reason to compromise my goals for someone else's feelings which I have done. That didnt make me feel good about myself and I feel bad when it seems someone has constant input into how they think I should be behaving. I am not inclined to hurt people so I keep to myself.
Social anxiety prevents me from letting people get close, I start looking for excuses not to hang around them.
I find most men to be obnoxious assholes with whom I have very little in common. I get along with women much better, I can share more with them.
I've been through a lot and the only constant has been being pretty sure I'd make it past the shit for better or worse. I like people but have found they go away or in some cases are taken away, so that self reliance has served me well.
I'm a loner not necessarily by choice. I'm a giving person but I guess I come across as mean. I say what's on my mind and don't sugar coat. Some people don't like that. It's easier to not get involved in making friends so I won't, yet again, be pushed aside.
Small minded sheeple ...I get angered and frustrated by all the mermadons.
Because my mother was a stressed-out, messed up teenager when she had me and she had neither help nor any clue what she was doing.
As a result we didnt develop the bond of security that a mother/infant should establish and I have trust issues as a result. extreme trust issues. That is why.
I do my best work, alone, where my mind is free from the clutter of other people's lives. We all need some alone time! And it's OK to take it
