Thanks Guys!
That's so nice to be validated! I have been "criticized" for not needing a lot of people interaction. When I tried to explain to my mother that being with people drains my energy, she took it to the next level and said "so you don't like people?! You should look into that." UGH!!! I tried to explain that I like people a lot-- I just need to be careful that I get some alone time to recharge. She still doesn't understand and occassionally says stupid things like "well, you don't like people". Good lord! She makes me nuts. She's very much an extrovert and thinks that her point of view is the only "right" one.

So nice to "meet" people that understand. \:\)
