The Need To Be Alone

Hello!

I’m someone who often needs time alone so I can think and so I can manage my personality. If I don’t get time alone I feel like I’m drowning intellectually and, also, I get grouchy. Sometimes the desire to withdraw from the company of others is strong. I feel if I could just go a week without talking to anybody. If I never get enough time by myself it feels like my thought will be lost.

I am lucky, I have friends and I am surrounded by love and great things.
As my life is structured now, a week alone is not in the cards. Does everyone have this need for time alone? How do you ask for it without hurting someone's feelings?
