Hmmmm...

I'm feeling strangely anxious, tense, a little sad, call it whatever my head decides it is at the time

In general I'm pretty good :) surgery coming up on Monday and then a trip to Adelaide for Easter. Being snuggled by my cat helps with the good mood too :)

*massive hugs and good thoughts*

I can sorta sympathise... but I go in the opposite direction where I need to be very much alone or else I go into bad headspace.

An ex of mine told me that we apparently need seven meaningful interactions with people per day to stay psychologically healthy.

Interesting. As absurd as it might sound, I may start recording that along with my daily goal stuff to see if there is any correlation.

[muncher666]

A lot of people have been telling me similar things, I suspect this is all confirmation that I really am somewhat of an extrovert like everyone keeps telling me. :)

I find that I'm ok being on my own so long as I have something to do. And if there is nothing to do, even being with someone else doesn't always help.

That being said, I am always happy to bring dvds, or just randomly hang out with you, hon. *snuggles*

I do appreciate that sweetie, but I think it's work where I need it more. At home I'm getting increasingly better and better at being by myself, now I'm finding it's bad at work instead. *sigh*

That's why Jane's been coming and meeting you there some days, isn't it?

[goblinbrodie]

Are you thinking you should be able to stand being alone for longer? Or are you trying to get more meaningful interaction in your life?

[muncher666]

A little of both. Sometimes I feel silly for finding being on my own so tough - and yet I'm getting better at coping on my own by continued exposure. But you mentioning meaningful interaction strikes a chord, as when there are supremely annoying people 'keeping' me company, I feel similar to when I'm on my own for ages - the key difference being I'm more distracted and thusly less focused on the things that bother me unnecessarily.

But when I'm on my own things that seem minor seem much bigger. Today, on the other hand, I both did a good job, was given good direction by management and had company and finished feeling fantastic! And as a result this whole LJ post seems really angsty and stupid, which seems really bad. *face palm*

That's actually one of the good things about making angsty diary entries or LJ posts - afterwards you can go, "wow, I'm glad I don't feel like that now!" It gives you a sense of perspective. :)
