[brains] sharing space, more whining

wispfoxI had forgotten how weirded out I can get by not having anyone else at home for long periods of time.
I mean, I like having the option for time to myself, but I also really like having the option to natter with no planning required.
I'm really starting to notice the fact that no one else is home but my cat, because I'm finding myself periodically wanting to chat about nothing much (as well as about things of substance, but that seems less strange) _at the same time_ as wanting to have time to myself. And at the same time as being really strongly against both phones and unexpected occurances. This makes it rather difficult to have no-planning-required (or even planning-required, if I want to be social and not social at the same time!) random nattering when I have no one around at home! (at least when people I am sharing living space with are around, I can often enough get some time randomly chatting, and then get time to myself. Or vis versa)
Stupid low energy time of year. Fascinatingly, I appear to be managing (entirely unintentionally) to be in a weird social space where I'm being social too often to fully satiate my need for time to myself, but not too often for it to be an active problem (at least as of yet). And, hopefully, often enough that the lack of people at home doesn't become a real problem.
Considering how difficult I find it to find people I can live with (there's a reason I live somewhere that I can choose to have no roommate!), it's ironic that I'm really not very good at living alone. At least this time of year!
Meh. *grumpy*
