A freaky question maybe, just would like to know other peoples' experience with isolation from 'normal' human contact.. ie an extended period of time..
Has it ever given you insight, driven you crazy, have you always had too much of a comfortable relationship with people close to really feel isolated?.. Do you feel it is or has been a big thing in your life?

I deliberately choose to be alone. I enjoy my solitude. I am inspired in my quietness. I am at peace away from crowds. I like
being in my own company as company. I'm a loner. But I'm happy. I feel intruded upon when others visit me.
Being alone is my way of life. I don't miss anyone nor anything.
Whenever I need to mingle with others, I don't encourage conversations. I don't have any desires to be brought up to speed.
I don't feel abnormal. I may be but so what.
I'm cool with myself. I have lived with others & still continued to live unto myself as I have described.
I lived in my area & refused to communicate w/ those who shared the same residence.

You mean like Obi-Wan Kenobi while waiting for Luke Skywalker to grow up? It would drive me crazy. I mean even just going to the store and talking to and being around the cashier counts for something.

Certain behaviors over time will cause isolation......................as will depresssion...........You sound interested in an experiement...i would caution you against it....research effect of isolation on prisoners..................effects are predictable and negative..............you don't have to swim in the sewer to know the water is unhealthy...........people were designed for relationship, affection and connection........disconnection, lack of relationship etc........won't expand your mind ...only harm it

I was suffering from depression and just didn't want to be around anyone, would always sit by myself, go places by myself, yes talk to myself. But God doesn't want us to be alone. Thank God he lead me to someone who could help me, and I never want to be alone again, thank God
