This is a lifetime thing with me and even though I have a lot of longtime friends and happily married there are times I feel Iwill 'loose it' if I can't go somewhere and be alone for at least a day.

I think most people need some "private time". We live in a busy world and marriages today are very hectic with everyone working and trying to raise families. In order to get some private time for myself, I made an extra bedroom into an "office" so that when needed, I can go in and close the door. Sometimes I have to ask others to pardon me for a while but this never seems to be a problem.

Yep! I need a fair amount of alone time. Time to let things run in my head. I need a couple hours a day. I garden so during my gardening time I get the quiet respite I need. I had my first week off of work in two years and I went home and unplugged my phone for one week and parked my car at the very end of my drive way so no one could easily stop by for a visit. Some people require absolutely NO alone time whatsoever, I am not one of them!!!
I think the more you think, the more alone time you need.

No, there is a strong need for good friends and family connections.

Well, I am happy when I'm with my friends, but I definitely require "me" time, too. Being alone does not bother me at all.

Everyone needs private space and time. TAKE it. Most people that care about you will understand and applaud your honesty.
