Scorpios & our alone time.....

I was thinking about how important, truly valued & much needed my time alone with just me to be. Don't get me wrong I am to what many refer to as a social butterfly...and I know this about me but I am also such a closet homebody! I love my home, my space, my mee time. I can be alone for days, hours on end perfectly content and can sometimes feel bothered if disturbed! I love how I don't always have to be entertained because I find myself quite entertaining! I even lol sometimes at silly things when I'm alone...I can be such a private,private person & can never imagine not having my mee time..do other scorps feel this way? Like you ephasis on "need" that private time to yourself to breath?

Exactly! Detox...good choice of words..your time to think, reflect, rejuvenate so to speak...its not only that I enjoy it but I find I actually "need" it

I totally agree...For instance Where I come from...a lot of people don't like things like Anime and Linkin Park. Me personally, I like different things, I love things people don't expect me to like and sometimes, I don't want to defend why i like them...I just do. I laugh at goofy jokes...I can even embarrass myself in front of no one but myself and I'm OK with that lmao. I guess in the end, its because we understand and accept ourselves...we have a gift for seeing people for who they really are and we see ourselves no different that we see anyone else...

I was actually thinking about this this past weekend. I am probably the biggest loner, but I actually love the time with myself. When I am in a difficult, emotional situation in my life I tend to shut down, and those are times being alone is probably the worst thing for me to do. Besides those times, I like to be alone and recharge for at least one day out of the week. The reason I thought about this on the weekend was because I worked then went out on Friday. I had a good time, but being a scorp, I take in everyone's actions and the events that take place and I tend to dissect them later on. So on Saturday I just wanted to rest, and be alone to process everything that happened the night before, and just recharge in order for me to go out and be a social butterfly again. My friend called me that day to let me know she would be coming to my part of town and wanted to see what I was up to. I didn't really want to hang out with her, and I just wanted my "me" time so I told her I was out and about. Like how do you tell someone that you don't want to hang out with them because you want to be alone? My family knows I am like this, and they think it's strange (a lot of fire and air in my fam) . I feel like no one understands, so instead of telling people the truth, that I just want to be alone, I lie. Sunday I was back to my social self again and had a great time with some friends. It's all about a balance.

Also, I agree with ScorpM, I think a lot of people, at least some of my friends are very close minded. I have interests that most of my friends or people that know me for a long time would never know. I don't need nor like to be judged, therefore I keep it in my little world. Sometimes I feel like I live many different lives lol. I want to be this person, but I also want to be that. Maybe that's part of my libra aspects though.

now this makes sense. my ex didnt like to make new friends with my friends, just stay home with me. she did like her alone time. i feel there's more than what i thought she was thinking but i will never know now
