I don't have trouble being "alone" but I do have trouble not doing something. I can't really just sit with my thoughts. I seem to always want to be either moving, reading, writing, listening etc. I get uncomfortable just sitting somewhere and being alone with my thoughts. Perhaps because that's when it is so obvious that I have so many "thoughts". I am unable to turn off my internal dialogue, which is obnoxious. I also always feel a sort of unease, knowing that there is something I either have to accomplish or somewhere I need to be. -It's a bummer. I'm working on it. I envy you.
