First off, Welcome back to Wrong Planet.
Being an Aspie can be difficult to relate to. I did not realize I was one until around age 69.
Around 50 percent of the people in the world are extroverts and the other 50 percent are introverts. I am an Aspie and an Introvert. Extroverts charge up their internal batteries by having conversations. When they feel depressed or sad -- they go out and find a group of people and take part in conversations and talking brings them back. That is how they charge their internal batteries. Introverts need alone time to recharge. We become very depleted trying to be part of a conversation especially if it involves many people. We can communicate well, but generally it has to be only one person at a time.
There are many introverts in the world and many are not Aspies.
You wrote "I don't enjoy crowds or places full of people." I do not either. That is why when I grew up, I moved from the city into the country, where I can spend some time alone. It gives me a sense of peace and allows me to charge my batteries, whenever I am alone.
Yes, I agree, and nice to meet you.
I understand what you are saying.
Country life, is preferable for variety of reasons.
I am still figuring out what is the best condition for me to function in.
I definitely like nature and walking in woods, even alone.
I tried walking barefoot and it was absolute bliss.
