Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I can completely understand wanting to be by yourself. I am an only child and would rather be by myself (and I can always find something to do...I'm never bored). In social situations, I always have to take a deep breath, prepare myself by thinking of conversation topics, etc. It can be really stressful. I've never really admitted this to anything though obviously my family members know I'm not a social butterfly. I couldn't imagine having roommates! I also get kinda rude when pushed socially. It's hard to make myself turn it off. It's like Jekyl and Hyde taking over. I hate it when people try to make conversion with me, like in an elevator or even in a taxi! Having to dance in front of people at my wedding was most stressful. That was a long time ago though but it probably explains the 13 Amaretto stone sours of the evening (burp!). Anyway, just wanted to say good luck to you and though I really don't have any advice, I know sometimes it's comforting to know there are others who experience the same life difficulties as you!
