[quote=Anonymous]I was for most of my life, a pretty extroverted and social person. Now I am 50, live alone, and find I am starting to avoid social situations more and more. I am also much quieter and need a lot less social interaction. I have lots of friends I can meet for breakfast or lunch but I find that is enough social interaction for me and I will happily just stay at home or doing my own thing.

Recently I travelled with a friend for a week and I was wishing I was alone by day 2 and internally counting the hours until she left! It wasn’t anything about her, she was great, I was just hating the 24/7 with someone and feeling like I needed my own space.

I work all day with people, I am not isolated, I just find I don’t really need close friends anymore. I do keep in touch with them as maybe I will need them someday and I care about them but I feel like I am happier by myself doing my own thing. Even family, I visit for a couple days then I am happy to leave.

I am not sure if this is normal with age or if I am isolating myself or not being social enough. [/quote]
