But there was the part that was afraid to be myself around her and longed to be with someone that I wasn't afraid to be myself around. But that person didn't exist, so I was stuck. And since I felt like I was on the spot whenever I wasn't alone, I craved lots of time alone. There's a definite difference between these two parts, and at least one part is something we're all better off without.
Totally agree. I was trying to defend "aloneness" as a viable concept in general .... but aloneness as the only peaceful alternative to being "on the spot" in your own home sucks.
