Want to be on my own!

[helenclaire]

Is it normal to want to be on your own?

Even though I am anxious on my own it is worse when there are people about.

I feel I can cope better on my own, even having visitors in my house makes me feel worse, even family.
I hate being under any pressure and find people are constantly pushing me to go places and do things I don't feel comfortable with.

I always feel better when left on my own and I can choose what I do and where I go, I feel at least I can leave the situation if I can't cope without having people make a big deal about it and making me feel worse.:huh:

Hi , I don't think this is just us anxiety sufferers we all need some space somtimes , when I'm good I love being around family when I'm tired and anxous can't wait for them to go , I even go off in my camper and park up somwhere to get some alone time , alone with everyone is a term that comes to mind at times , take care .

Everyone is different. Some prefer to be alone. Others need to be with other people.
But to steal a verse from Billy Joel:

But it's alright
We're the same even though we're alone
It's alright
Yes we all need a room of our own

Nothing wrong with a little me time...or a lot of me time for that matter.
