Is being alone so bad?
As I have recently discovered that I am a TCK (third culture kid, wikipedia it if you care), the research has shown that TCK's are very independent, and at times, I can be a sort of extreme of that.
I was an only child, and did not have many friends. So I often made up things for me to do by myself. I'd make up storylines that my Barbies would act out, I would pretend I was Sailor Moon and defeat the forces of evil, etc. I guess that's why I'm so creative. *shrug*
But my point is, at times I just can't STAND people. They drive me crazy! Sometimes, it's the ridiculous coasties that float around my campus, or really cute guys that would never give me the time of day, or even just the sheer presence of others just makes me feel claustrophobic. So at least once a day, I just need some time to be alone to just read, or watch a movie/tv, etc. or else I will lose my mind. This became VERY evident when I worked at a summer camp this summer. We were just going non-stop and I literally HAD to use my time off every day to be by myself, or else I would explode on the wee ickle kids.
Is this so strange? That I just can't deal with being around people so much? But yet, at times I get extremely lonely, especially late at night. Is this the curse of being a Third Culture Kid? Is this what I get for not belonging in neither my adopted country nor my home country? That since I don't belong in either of the two, I'll just be by myself, where no one can bother me...
So if you see me in the cafeteria with a book under my arm, sorry. That means that I don't want to eat with you. |
