I hugely value my alone time. I've always been this way, but having children exacerbated it.

Would you consider SN time as alone time or socialising time?

I hadnt thought about thus before.

I think I would, but perhaps I should not. It doesn't feel quite the same as alone time when I'm writing or reading something. Yet it's not as immediate as socializing in person.

How do you feel about it?

Online interactions are a bit iffy, aren’t they. I would classify them under socialising time even if I were to type my comments alone at a coffee shop. I think the mental effort involved in crafting them (how much I should say and the best choice of words to convey my thoughts and do I need to take into account my different cultural context. Basically decisions) means that SN to me is more effortful than reading.
