NUGGET 23:DESIRE FOR AUTONOMY VERSUS CLOSENESS-2nd August 2011
- Some people love solitude; others loathe it. Many people enjoy being alone and can handle it much better than others. They can work for hours in isolation, not talking with anyone or interacting a great deal with the outside world. Many artistic and creative people fall into this category.
- If you are in a relationship with this sort of person, he doesn't want you to be with him everywhere he goes.
- Some people are natural extroverts- they not only want to be around people a lot;they need to be around people especially you;she can't get enough of you; she wants you with her all the time;she's a high-maintenance woman and you are perpetually on call.
- If your partner is the kind of person who "needs a lot of space," that's fine, but if you need him or her to be there for you in a regular basis, it could spell trouble in your relationship.
- Some people prefer autonomy because they don't like being accountable to anyone.
- Studies indicate that the best marriage involve people who have a similar need to be alone or similar need for more closeness.
- People change but not much.
