That is me!! I love being around "my people" but I like to be by myself to reconnect with me. But when I am by myself I often think "Oh I need to share that with so and so". I worry about my husband though he can stay away from people and be fine. But he needs to be pushed to go out and when he does (grumbling all the way) he relaxes and enjoys it. But if I am not her he will become a hermit!.
