Well, some years ago, I used to get into masturbating a lot whenever I'm all alone by myself. It was a very big addiction that took me years before I was able to overcome it.
Dealing with addiction is very difficult which is the reason why a lot of people who found themselves addicted to one thing or another always struggle with getting over it.The addiction can be difficult to stop according to some people that has done it in the past. So, I totally how you feel about that.
I also love it peace and quiet whenever I am alone because it helps me to settle down and relax myself from all kind of stress that will be affecting me mentally.Sleeping is what I do when no one is around. When people are around me, I can't sleep but whenever I'm alone, I sleep with ease.
