I was looking back over my “Alone Time” logs in preparation for my accumulated time total and was VERY dismayed to see what is was. Everyone needs some time that is completely for them and for some of us that are less than social beings, it’s critical. And I can certainly tell you that when it’s denied things can take a very grim turn.
To help anyone to understand just how important this is to someone like me, think about what is extremely important to you (for my sister it’s having a husband) and imagine that you could no longer have that thing…wouldn’t it make you incredibly angry that the one thing that mattered to you, the one thing that helped you get through your days was being denied? And then imagine that another person in your life is in charge of whether or not you get that thing and for how long you get it…wouldn’t you begin to resent the person that is withholding it?
The only conclusion you could come to is that YOU as person don’t matter. YOU as a person are nothing. If someone isn’t willing to really help you out when you need it, it’s because you aren’t worthwhile. You are “No One”.
