I often go through the whole workweek without saying more than a couple words to another person in real life.
I wonder what this does to me over time. It probably isn’t good.
It’s funny, too, I actually tend not to mind stretches of alone time. I get used to it. It’s when I oscillate between a day of being alone, and then a night out, then a day alone again, a night out, etc., that I feel the loneliness during the day. Mondays tend to suck for the same reason, since now I’m suddenly alone again after spending the weekend with people in the real world. I usually start to feel OK again by Tuesday.
I admit to in the past wanting to say no to offers to hang out just because I know I’ll miss the human contact after.
This probably all sounds crazy but (shrug emoticon was here, I guess HN doesn’t like emoticons :( )
