When I am involved in a project, which is nearly all the time, I don't need people hanging around getting in my way.
I think this is the point of the question that Spitty was asking....
Self Isolation A need to find your own space and leave the world behind for a bit....I think Savvy sums it up nicely.....

I often think that can have the opposite effect.

Re: Self Isolation

Unfortunately we can no longer rely on the inhabitants of Britain to do the right thing, such as, washing hands, using a hanky, binning tissues and refraining from spitting in the street. These are things we have acquired over the years along with some other 'benefits.'

How bad must we be if the government has to tell us to wash??

Re: Self Isolation

I self isolated 11 years ago when I retired, I have never been that keen on having humans as company, being alone is vastly underrated .

Re: Self Isolation

A bit of isolation could be quite appealing at times. I sometimes want to be left alone.
