(( Poet ))
Have you worked on/ been working on why you can't stand being around people?
I get that way when I feel the shame in me strongly. I feel scarecely fit for human company, and I get afraid they will see the grossness that is me. So I isoltae.
Its never a good thing to isolate.
Do you have a trusted workmate that is understanding that you could find a quiet spot to sit and eat, and mebbe talk a bit or not talk?
Or tell them DO NOT DISTURB, when you are in your quiet place, give them some line bout praying or meditating.....
What about earmuffs/plugs or something?
One thing I have found, is that if you honest to some safe degree that you have struggles, you'll get a variety of reactions, NOT all negative for SURE. Cuz most have struggles, just the way life is.
Its a shame there is not a quiet spot for people to destress a bit. We have a park not far from us, and on nice days I often see loners, just being quiet, eating and chilling.
So I don't think you are weird or anything Poet for wanting down time.
Just matter of finding it w/o freezing!!!!
Take care Poet.
