Yes and yes... I very much enjoy solitude, but after a while feel isolated and need to connect with people. I don't need much social time to re-charge, though. Your post reminds me of a book called "Intimacy and Solitude" by Stephanie Dowrick, which I found very helpful many years ago, maybe you would, too.
I feel the same way @janamclaughlin. I enjoy solitude, but after a while I need to connect with people. I will definitely check the book, thank you very much!
