Hey /adv/. I'm very introverted; earlier in my life, when I was in college, I had some great friends as roommates but I had this thing where I felt cooped up and I would feel very restricted until I had my alone time. It sent me into a kind of weird personal funk that was probably depression; I would stay up very late at night just to have time to myself and for some reason I felt very shy about being open to them since I never had that alone time. Had to get out by myself a lot.

I'm starting to feel the same way with my girlfriend. I haven't been able to get myself experience anything (shows, games, anything new) because I'm starting to feel stuffy again. She left for a trip last week and I felt like the house was mine. I finished a series in one sitting and watched a dozen more episodes of other stuff. I'm feeling like I'm not so closed off again.

Is there any way out of this oppressive feeling? How do I deal and how the hell am I going to live with her if I feel this?
