Lonely
I'm having one of those days where I feel overwhelmed with loneliness. I've had a really busy week, but today is calmer. Maybe I'm not good with calm? :) Sometimes I wonder. I was looking forward to things being calmer today, but now I don't feel so great. Is that weird? I think working from home really messes with me sometimes about this - sometimes I don't interact with anyone except my students (I'm a private math tutor) and, though I love my students, I need more adult interaction. Other times, I crave the alone time. I really make no sense on this! How do you all balance your need for connection with your need for alone time? I love my work and working for myself, so I don't want to get a different job. Just not sure how to deal with the loneliness at times.

I think the time to yourself, especially after chaos, might have caused you to feel alone and maybe melancholy.
A balance would be the ideal. 50 percent alone time, 50 percent time spent with others. (note the fraction :) )
