I definitely clicked with the had to prove I was a good parent that I was doing better than what was done for me ( I think this is probably definitely a thing for people who grew up in certain situations. Also with the mad at people for chewing but I have misophonia. I absolutely need silence and my family knows it. I am an introverted introvert who loves solitude. I find it most often by spending extra time in my car when I go to run errands.

Ooooh good idea! I sometimes sit on the stoop of our apartment building after errands before going back upstairs. But that is usually pretty social since I know all of my neighbors! Maybe we're bringing back the sunday drive! My dad was a big fan of that.

Love this entry, especially how we introverts crave and love company. Just keep doing what you're doing with your wonderful sense of humor, insight and candor. These qualities are the greatest inheritance gift for your teen kids.
