Pregnant Woman Who Prefers Being Alone Stops Family From Coming To Check On Her, Redditors React

by Maryjane

Being by oneself and pursuing one's interests can be fulfilling when one is by one's self. There are different reasons why people just love to be alone.

People could like to be alone because they are introverts who get their energy from being alone. Some people prefer solitude because they find social situations stimulating.

It can be a steady preference or one that changes with the stage, but the desire to be alone is perfectly acceptable. Living alone generally carries a bad reputation, although spending time by oneself can help a person become more conscious of their interests.

The narrator of today's AITA story is a 25-year-old lady who just split with her long-term partner just before they found out she was pregnant. OP is now over four months gone, and she also mentions that she has never been particularly sociable unless she is drunk.

OP loves her alone time, and she lives with her cat. She's recovering from COVID, and a lot of family members tried to organize coming over to her house, even though OP told them she was busy.

OP's issue is that she's finding it difficult to concentrate on her studies because she's ill and pregnant, which makes her feel like she has five brain cells bouncing around. Read the full story as you scroll down below.

OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the a-hole:

So basically, AITA for telling family to leave me in my own space? I wasn't rude on the phone, but I was definitely firm, which I rarely am, hence my conflicting feelings and posting here.

This redditor finds no AHs in the story

I'm going with NAH. You're entitled to manage your pregnancy how you want. People are also allowed to care about you and I have a feeling a lot of the folks who are reaching out just want to check in and make sure you're actually okay. You've just been through a break up, you're sick and you're pregnant. It's totally normal people want to be able to make sure someone they care about is alright.

You may determine whether being alone has a beneficial or negative impact on your life by recognizing the symptoms of happiness when you are by yourself. The OP loves staying alone, and people ought to respect her decision, but then again, you can't blame people for being concerned about her welfare.

The OP was declared not the AH, and you can drop a comment below if you're in support or against the verdict given.
