lonliness

If i am having problems with something in my life, i often find, like you, that i need time alone, away from other people to be able to fully think about and understand the issue and come up with a solution. If i am surrounded by people, or even just one person, i am distracted from the problem, which can be a good thing at times, but doesn't solve the problem.

Sure. Being around so many people can get overwhelming to the point you feel sick. Alone time is just as important as being with other people. .
