Can I spend long periods of time with myself without becoming neurotic?
This is a matter of definition: "long periods" and "neurotic." I was designed to be energized by people, so choosing self-imposed withdrawal for long periods would be destructive for me. Periods of time to contemplate, worship, meditate and plan are absolutely essential - and neuroticism does not occur. But for me, isolation isn't productive; and I don't believe it is God honoring.
