Jeff I can so relate to the worries, fears and concerns you have and the desire to hold up some where alone in solitude.

Jeff, it's a very fine line, the loneliness and the solitude. Some days I never talk to anyone and I wonder at times is it a blessing or a curse. I chose this, to live alone. There are regrets to the walls I put around myself.

Absolutely solitude and loneliness are two different things. Greetings from a hard-core introvert who craves solitude like a junkie craves a fix. Heck, I get "high" as a kite when I'm left alone for 30 minutes while my wife goes to Walmart.

Solitude is refreshing, but loneliness is a pain in the ass.
