    I’ve noticed that I love beeing alone, doin everything by myself, spending time with me.
    But I love being alone too much that when Im around people I feel lost, my mood turns difficult, so this thing about loving too much my space causes me problems with my boyfriend, my family and friends because Im not entirely comfortable.

    What should I do? Whats your perspective guys?

    Perhaps you could bring the space with you. Instead of “when I’m with others, the space in my environement is disrupted” consider “when I am alone, I feel spaciousness inside of me that I can bring to the world around me.”. This is similar to the practice of meditation. On the cushion, we touch upon a beauty, grace and silence. Then, when we get up from the cushion… that’s when the real practice begins. 🙂

    I too enjoy being alone and allow myself the time I need to recharge my battery and get back out there. For myself I quickly get out of practice when I am alone too much. Gradual amounts of exposure to selected social situations help me maintain a certain amount of people skills. As someone with anxiety (which includes social anxiety) it is easy to over analyze my performance when out and about but I cannot allow this to over-ride my need for interaction. Be kind to yourself and allow the people closest to you to help you through the feelings you are experiencing.
