To the OP I am the youngest of 4 kids, all of whom were much older than me and not in my cohort (age range that made them playmates). We lived far from other children, bordering the Sierra National Forest. I entertained myself most of the time. I enjoy my own company. Now I am an extroverted person, I like other people, but my sense of well being is not hampered by being alone with myself. I can do many activities alone. I prefer to do some activities alone. My Daddy likes his alone time too. He does not need others to feel ok 100 percent of the time. He is an extrovert also. We have many of the same interests, but there are some things that we do not share as interests... and I love that we can do the things we enjoy away from each other. Now I miss him all the time. I do feel the lack of him because we do not see each other enough in my opinion... but I have an emotional and intellectual and social existence outside of him. I would not appeal to him if I didn't. I will say, I do experience a poignancy when I enjoy myself without him. I still enjoy myself, but I think of him and how he would enjoy it too. I think of the things he likes often, things he would enjoy... like I saw a tea at Costco I know he would love, so I bought it for him even though it will be a couple of weeks until I see him again...
