I don't mind from time to time, and on occasion, but I like say 2/3 of being by myself actually, it's nothing against anyone else or anything else like that, but by myself I seem to appreciate the that time by myself, I don't know it is, but growing up I don't think it bothered me, school,and going to a concert and a amusement park and such etc, but I actually prefer being by myself by my standards and enjoy doing that, it's my own call and feeling about the post here and my opinion, what are… read more

Sometimes it depends I know like when I’m at like Walmart or something like that I’m not comfortable so I just rush things to get things done but like when I went to the Tartan Day Festival I got much more relaxed because of the band that was playing music and I was getting into the Irish music and that’s how I heard my band SYR. Usually they are there every year and I feel comfortable when I hear them playing music there plus it’s nice talking to others who know about your Irish History that you want to know and I can ask people there at certain stands and they have information about all the different family names my family was part of that’s how I was able to go deeper and find out and find out I’m possible of Viking history in me along with possibly having Scottish in me.

I enjoy time a lone more most of the time. I enjoy getting together with old friends and even new. I really don't like being a lone now if at a store, if I am I make it in and out quickly. Thankfully that happens not often, if need to be in for sometime I prefer company.

Q: How do you feel about spending time alone versus in large groups when you have epilepsy?

It's completely normal and healthy to prefer spending time alone. Many people with epilepsy find that having quiet time to themselves helps manage stress levels and maintain their wellbeing. While social activities like concerts and amusement parks can be enjoyable occasionally, having a balance that includes substantial alone time is perfectly valid. Remember that everyone is unique in how they prefer to socialize. What matters most is finding the lifestyle pattern that works best for you and your epilepsy management. If spending more time alone helps you feel more comfortable and in control, that's a perfectly legitimate choice.
