Sometimes I just want my spirit to be free, fly fly away, free of human emotional carnage, free of the warmth of companionship, free of my own trying to hold onto something that perhaps doesn't exist, free of myself perhaps-!
Then about 3 days into that, I crave human companionship. 3 days on, 3 days off. Maybe I'm just a "part-time lover". Maybe I haven't found anyone who matches my particular mood swings.
Anyone else "hot and cold" toward others within themselves?

I think someone who is an E in the Myers-Briggs sense often has a difficult time understanding the need for alone time of the I type. I don't want to be around people 24/7, and if not given some time to myself I'll start doing things to give me that time. Like leaving something at work, and having to drive 45 minutes to get there and 45 minutes back, when what I really wanted was alone time.
Now that I realize it, I can definitely say I'm drawn to other I types, as there is no need to explain or justify alone time for me or her.
Given that scenario, I guess we have to trust each other, since we're not around each other all the time, or are in an "open" relationship, right?
