i think i've been clear that i'm somebody that prefers to spend time by myself.

but - and i know this is hard to understand - a lot of it is due to the fact that i have this giant workload ahead of me.

i could get a job.
i could find a partner.
i could try and find a group of friends.

but, i'd rather stay in and continue to work towards completing all of these projects i've set up. that's just the flat truth of it.

the one counter-example to this rule is that i like to go to concerts. the fact is that that's pretty much the only reason why i want to leave the house. further, when i'm at the concerts, i tend to need some inebriation to deal with the social anxiety.

and, what do you call somebody that would rather sit in and read than go out? we're called introverts. we're a minority, but we're not that uncommon
