subject: I started to post with 'anti-social lately' on Friday, but didn't get around to doing it. odd coincidence.
para 1: I noticed that, too, but seems to have picked up just a bit this past week, at least on my f-list.
para 2: I suspect this is true. it is how I feel, and out here, my bits of springtime have been coming in 15-60 minute spurts between similar rain showers, annoying me to no end because it makes it so hard to really get anything done in the yard. and yes, I am overwhelmed by war news and war postings.
para 3 & 4: I'm not avoiding anyone, really. I just don't always comment, like you say. I don't like getting involved in dialogues that much, which is why I don't do AIM or chat rooms, it becomes too distracting and time consuming, and LJ alone is already all that and more. these both do a good job of summing up my view of things right now.
para 5: noted.
additionally, I read Cyn's linked Atlantic piece about introverts, and much of it fits me to a T. I can be gregarious and social when needed, but I have a great need for solitude as well. this was really driven home on the trip to Pasadena, where I was constantly with a busload of kids, or sharing a room with 3 other women.
so, nothing personal. I'm reading everybody, but not saying much at the moment.
