I think some of it is personality from birth. I was so shy I would cry

if anyone talked to me. I remember feeling scared of just about

anyone. But in second grade, when my home life started going downward

big-time, I discovered the enjoyment of being the center of attention.

Now days I flucuate between enjoying socializing and wanting to hide

from the world. Maybe it's some toxicity, maybe it's just needing time

to reload. When Jesus had something big going on, He would retreat, so

I think it's as normal to want to be alone as with people. With my

kids, my first loved lots of people, my middle could take 'em or

leave 'em, and my third is very shy, preferring to be alone. Only my

middle one has autism.

I don't think needing to be with someone all the time is any more

healthy than not wanting to be around people.
