Yes, I think it’s more of an age thingie :)
As one gets older, one gets more selective and set in their ways, comfortable in their own space.

You know, I’ve always been a little like that, but it’s taken me aging to realize that this is how my personality works and that it’s okay to be like that without feeling too guilty.

I became a hermit after I became a writer. :(

:D I’m like that. Since I work surrounded by people, I treasure every bit of time that I have alone. Also, this is a sign of aging. :crazy:

I think it’s a bit of both…writer and older. And no you’re not bad for telling her no!

I concur with Rob. I used to be such a social butterfly. Now, I rather curl up with the company of my books and my Master. I still do go out once a month for a sushi gathering with my girlfriends but I hardly ever go out to pubs or clubs.

I once had a good friend who stayed with me for 3 weeks. At the end of the 3 weeks we were hardly on speaking terms :(

A friend once said "Sometimes the people you love the most, you just can’t live with."

Our internet was down yesterday till 7:00 p.m. By the time I got into your chat, Sasha, it was over.
I was upset to say the least. :angry:

I think it’s partly age, partly writer, partly (latent) personality & also, a societal trend. The more pressures and demands we have on our time (re work, family obligations, etc) the more we just want to be left da f*ck alone when we get home. lol. Nothing new really, think of the old cliche of the ‘man of the house’ coming home from a hard day at work, who just wanted a hot meal then be left alone for some peace and quiet to have a cold beer and veg out in his favourite chair.

Kat~ That's exactly what I'm afraid of, I'd rather keep her as afirned than end up hating her at the end of it.

Kvev~ That sums it up perfectly.

Robyn~ Don't worry. I have an Auhtor Day on Ebooklove on July 18 (I think) PLenty of times to come visit and chat!.

Jaq~ Different way of looking at it, but it makes sense!
