People Who Like To Be Alone Have These 6 Special Personality Traits

[catbyte]

------------------------------------------------

I've always loved being alone and wondered if there was something "wrong" with me. It's good to know that there's probably not, lol.

1. Great!

I'm not weird! Love this positive look at my personality trait..

2. My humble thanks.

4. I gave up worrying about it...

A long time ago. Much like having an "outside voice" and an "indoor voice" introverts maintain a public persona and are only themselves when alone, at home.

10. As an INFJ, according to MBTI, I'm an extroverted introvert. I'm glad I was able to figure that out.

Your description makes sense to me. ❤️

12. I'm an INTP which has been consistent for my entire adult life.

I've taken a few through college and work activities and the results are always the same. Thanks for the thread suggestion!

5. I don't have any what you would call close friends. Whenever I start to be close to

someone I have this tendency to shut them out. In this deep red area it is nearly impossible to find anyone you can have a
civil conversation with, so I keep to myself.

6. I am comforted knowing my dogs, my books, and my home

are exactly what and where I should be.

9. That sounds just like me, Polly Hennessey! ❤️

7. Same here, to the point of thinking I might be defective or selfish

with that need to recharge by being alone. I'm learning that there's a lot more people just like us than I ever thought — probably unsung as a result of some societal or culture pressure to avoid being seen as another "odd loner". Another benefit of getting older: Who cares?

I've been calling it "going to church" when I take off for some time out in the desert or up in the hills while being thankful that my handful of close friends and especially my wife somehow get it and can allow me that space.

Recharge baby!

8. You're definitely perfect just the way you are, catbyte.❤️
