it would never occure to me to watch a movie or listen to music when i'm home alone. it feels like it would be sensory overload. is this what autism feels like?
Sounds like you're an extreme introvert.

Uh what? Introverts like being home alone.
>>18191658
that might be. is this something one would need to adress?
>>18191661
i love being home alone... i just need absolute silence.
>>18191664
Nah, I wouldn't say so. I get it too. It's something that can't really be helped, but don't let it bother you too much. Infact I try too embrace it by reading a tone of books.
>>18191677
it's all fine when i'm actually home alone. but that almost never happens and when it does, i feel like i desperately need to recover. do you think i need to find ways to be alone more?
>>18191691
It depends if you really need it, because when I was at school I felt completely drained, but once I got home I had way too much energy, and I found I did better on my homework. Interacting with people here, and there is what keeps me sane.
>>18191623
I dont see a problem unless all you do at home is staring at empty wall.
>>18191751
yeah, i pretty much lie in bed and meditate. does that count as a sane activity?
>>18191726
i do think that i would become a complete degenerate, basically a vegetable, if i wasn't forced to social interactions. and i'm not sure if i should be worried about that. i don't think i would ever get bored from laying in bed in silence...
>>18191768
Who am i to tell you that doing absolutely nothing at home and calling it meditating is bad?
I will just suggest you to adopt some sport like swimming so you dont turn into weak skeleton or fatass and you have actual reason to leave your room once a while.
And remember human brain is built on social interaction. So keep in touch with other human beings at least once per month so you dont forget how to talk and turn into

Good luck OP!
>>18191779
eh, i see no danger there. i interact with people at work all day. but yeah, maybe i should spend my time more wisely. i just feel like i need to just lay there to give my body and brain time to let go of the built up tension. somehow i feel like i'm always tense when i'm not alone. probably anxiety.
i've always neede a lot of hermit time and i'm generally prone to keeping people at a distance. i just feel very uncomfortable when people "invade" my personal space or expect intimacy. probably also intimacy issues.
thanks for the advice and wishes!
