Okay, so I was pondering this one...
I widely consider "alone" to include my husband and daughter (i.e. if I'm asked a question about whether I'd rather be alone at home or at a party)
I enjoy my quiet time at home and don't need much more than the company of my family. But...I can't STAND to be absolutely alone, completely by myself. Hate it. I go crazy. As in spend the whole evening in bed alone and pass out as quickly as possible just to get it over with crazy.
When I was younger and living at home, I'd leave home and go all the way to town and drive around on the hopes of finding someone to hang out with. I'd never sit by myself. Growing up, my mom never let either of us be totally alone in the house, even when we were in high school. Other than bath/shower time or occasionally a quiet walk, I have never enjoyed being truly alone.
Does this mean I'm an extrovert, since I do rely on others as my source of energy? Or does it just mean I'm an introvert who has issues being alone?
