Leave Me Alone So I Can Lick My Wounds
I have to wonder… am I the only one who, when I don’t feel good, just wants to be left alone?
In today’s world, it seems like everyone immediately goes online and lets everybody know exactly how they’re feeling. They post if they’re sick, sad, mad, overwhelmed, or having a rough day. And honestly, that’s fine. Social media is how a lot of people keep in touch now, and for some people, talking it out helps.
But me? I’m the opposite.
When I don’t feel good, I tend to disappear a little. I want to be by myself. I want quiet. I want to go lick my wounds somewhere and just deal with whatever is bothering me on my own.
It’s the same when I get upset. I don’t usually want an audience, advice, or twenty people asking me what’s wrong. I need space. I need time to process my feelings and let my emotions settle down. Being alone somehow helps me regulate myself.
Maybe it’s because I’m more introverted these days. But when I really think about it, I’ve always been this way. Even when I was younger, I preferred to retreat, think, and come back when I was ready.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. We all cope differently. Some people heal out loud. Some of us heal quietly.
Neither way is wrong.
I’m just curious… am I the only one who wants to be left alone to lick my wounds, or are there more of us out there?
