[quote=Anonymous]Yes, I schedule almost regular periods for downtime: a walk, some time to read, etc. Knowing I will have this regularly is just about as important to me as knowing I'll be getting a meal on a regular basis. It's just want I need to periodically recharge my batteries so that I can go back to the group and be social and a functioning human being. :) But, if denied this, just as if someone else is denied a meal once, then maybe twice, then maybe again -- I start getting stupd-cranky, snappish, and certain exert other behaviors which can be seen as rude. Yet to me, it feels perfectly normal behavior in response to such an unchallenging and unwelcoming atmosphere, one which did not give me my regularly scheduled "meal" of downtime. [/quote]
