Recluse, I don't understand. I understand, I think, somewhat, empathise with, the rest of your post...that feeling of being, perhaps?...dismissable and compartmentalised? (For me, I sometimes just feel like The Tamed Fool)?
I don't really know.
I sometimes feel that need to move away...for me, at the moment, with other external pressures and the tides of my own personal psychological morphology, I definitely feel that need to "withdraw" back into the freedom of my own private universe...to chuck it all in...to disconnect, from MR; from most everything.
So perhaps I do understand, but don't realise it?
I don't really know.
I don't want you to go though. Selfishly, it is true...while contradicting myself with a possible understanding of the need. I guess that I contrast my introvert's need to withdraw with the knowledge that MR itself is often a place I recluse myself
to rather than
from; that MR contains a comfortable niche into which I can squeeze my hermitage with mostly minimal discomfort. On the other hand, that discomfort, at times...
My favourite quote is by Oscar Wilde:
"Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live". I realise I am partly doing this. But I do also wish that a niche at MR could be for you at least an occasional holiday from your own private universe; that if you do go, that it is not permanent.
I'll wish good bye, but
I don't feel good about it. Just sad. I'd prefer to say "See ya". I hope I do.
