Are a lot of humans like this?
I realize a lot of people don't like to be alone with their thoughts. I'm fine. Usually there's a song playing if I'm not distracted, or I'm looking to the future to make plans.
Others, I tend to find, are far more in tune with their subconscious which appears to be saying nasty things to them the moment they're alone.
I had a bad childhood (like many), but I think my coping mechanism was to escape to fantasy (later books, games, art), and as a result I think I trained myself to not spend too long listening to my feelings. It probably is disassociation, but I don't see it as a bad baseline to have.
Are you me?
It's a miracle any of us are functioning at all. Sometimes my mum tells me how she feels bad for the childhood that we had growing up, but I usually tell her that: since we didn't die, she did a good job; and since we're healthy working adults, she did a great job.
