Hello. I share the same need for solitude. Sometimes you need time all by yourself. I wrote a song based on my time spent all alone. The title is called "Sometimes Is A Choice, Always Isn't". Perhaps I can send it to you sometime. Funny, just when you're getting used to being all by yourself, you suddenly get the urge to be around someone, even a stranger. Regardless, it's nice talking to you.
I've noticed new people introducing themselves. It seems to be a ritual, one I'll gladly take part in, especially if I get to talk about ME.
Solitude is important to me and I take pride in being able to "stay away" from society for long periods of time. Unfortunately humanity gets in the way and you start to grave interactions with like-minded individuals. I'm only trying to satisfy my craving. Eventually something will remind me why I choose to be away from it all. Until then, it's nice to meet you.
