At the root of the shy temperament is a deep fear of social judgment one so severe it can sometimes be crippling. Introverted people don't worry unduly about whether they'll be found wanting they just find too much socializing exhausting and would prefer either to be alone or in the company of a select few people.

I think sometimes if you are alone you are freer because your time is your own.

I'm a grown woman and sometimes I might be a little fat you know? Am I alone there? Not really.

When I'm alone I work sometimes with music sometimes without and sometimes just listening to NPR.

Journalists do not live by words alone although sometimes they have to eat them.

Man does not live by words alone despite the fact that sometimes he has to eat them.

Another thing I like to do is sit back and take in nature. To look at the birds listen to their singing go hiking camping and jogging and running walking along the beach playing games and sometimes being alone with the great outdoors. It's very special to me.

Sometimes when I'm alone I put on six inch heels and wear nothing else and dance around in front of the mirror and do my little stripper dance.

Sometimes I think we're alone. Sometimes I think we're not. In either case the thought is staggering.

Sometimes I think we're alone in the universe and sometimes I think we're not. In either case the idea is quite staggering.
