I can relate so much as I am someone who is socially awkward and shy. I don't know how to communicate with people when I meet them and I need a lot of time to open up and feel comfortable.
I appreciate me time so much and not being constantly surrounded by people. The hair dresser situation you described - I feel you on that one 100%!
Yes, I definitely appreciate me time... I am so glad to see so many of my friends and followers feel the same as I do. what a relief!
