Therapist doesn't understand I need to be alone?

Post Reply New Topic

Is that seriously such a crime?
This is the first time in a really long time where I have spent so much time by myself...
I've never been happier or have felt more complete/whole/in tune with myself. It's when I am bombarded with outside expectations to engage in social interaction where I feel upset. Family gatherings are difficult for me to be around.
I've never been happier.
I don't think my therapist gets it?
Does anyone else feel good about being alone?

Hm. Has your therapist even HEARD of autism?!

I need a balance of solitude and company, but with a lot more solitude than many people could stand. Happily, thanks to working split shifts I get a few hours on my own in the middle of the day. I don't think I could cope otherwise.

^^^balance of solitude and company... spot on.
