Does Not Play Well With Others (Sometimes)

I'm pretty lucky when it comes to my work life. I get to spend a majority of my day alone, with my silent customers, listening to my IPod while working.

To say the least, my job does NOT require me to be a social person at all.

Don't get me wrong. When I'm at work, I do my best to be friendly to everyone I meet. There are a few there that I avoid spending time with at all costs, but overall I enjoy my co-workers. Hell, I've even been known to stand outside in the parking lot for an hour after work, smoking and chatting with some of them.

But all of that changes once I get home. I turn into a hermit. I'm off in my own little world, doing my own little things and I don't want to see or talk to anyone.

I have friends and co-workers that know where I live. Once in awhile they will stop by to say hello. I always welcome them and do my best to make the visit a positive interaction.

But it's strange having other people in my house. I've grown increasingly uncomfortable with people in my house.

I wonder now and then if I should talk to somebody about that or if it's natural.
