An introvert in a state of withdrawal

It is all I need.
  The momentary fix.

A time alone,
  just so I can drop all of the shields.

Only for a bit,
  and I will feel better.

A time alone,
  and then I can be around the rest of you.

For a time,
  once again.

oh I know this exact feeling.....needing to be alone to regroup and face others again.

sometimes it gets overwhelming trying to be with others, and trying to be there for so many others...
we have to stop and take care of ourselves...

but it is especially hard for the introverts...to be among the extroverts....

The odd part is it is not about hiding. It is how draining the experience is. A marathon for the mind.

Oh I completely understand… I use to think I was so odd..but once I learned what I was..I finally had a understanding of the need to recharge energy with solitude, where others get energy from people..

The biggest problem is so many do not understand. A social situation drains me.

The important thing…you understand why and how to recharge.. they don't need to
