As most aspies, i enjoy my alone time. I actually prefer to do most things alone.
I have 3 siblings (2 loud little brothers, and my sister who's almost 17).
Some of the things i like to do alone:
I eat alone 'cause i want to eat in peace and quiet. I can't eat when i'm feeling stressed.
I watch my favorite TV shows alone, so i'm not distracted by sounds and movements.
I make sure that i don't wake up at the same time as the rest of my family on the weekends. That way i can be alone in the kitchen while i make breakfast.
I hate when there's too much going on when i've just got out of bed.
But even though i like to be alone, and that i would be exhausted if
i had to be around people for a whole day - I DO LIKE PEOPLE.
I don't have anything against other people, i just simply need time to myself to relax and do the things that i like - i need my space.
Two of the things i like to do with other people:
I love to go for walks with my mom and my little maltipoo.
We go to different places.
If there's something on my mind or
something i wanna talk about, i can talk to her in the car
+ when we walk.
Our walks is something i really like.
Getting lots of fresh air and being active,
while we talk about things.
Being outside really lightens my mood and relaxes me afterwards.
Me and my sister go to the movies together once a month.
It's something i really look forward to. We are good friends,
and i'm really lucky to have a sister who's only one year younger than me.
We have so much respect and love for each other,
we'll probably be best friends for the rest of our lives.
