I dont know how to describe this but here goes:
Where, anywhere do you feel safe as in where do you go for time out and stuff like that.
I have a sense of being safe when sleeping. Dunno about you?
Time Out wise, I hardly use/need it at all, cos im so angry 100% of the time!
When Im at home, I calm down!
I calm down when I am at home reading or listening to music. That helps me to get my mind off of things.
in a big city of crowds! I could not stand that!
There's a certain anonymity to a big crowd, I can see the safety in that.
I'm more of an alone person myself, in nature with the animals playing out their lives and cycles before me or even better in a car on some winding, deserted road (race tracks preferred, but time on them is way too expensive) where I can get in tune with the mechanical symphony that rewards the driver for demonstrating their level of skill. If I had a race track with a garden in the middle of the wilderness I'd be a very happy man.

There's a certain anonymity to a big crowd, I can see the safety in that.
In a crowd people don't have expectations to talk with them or look them in the eyes. The opposite is true, people feel surprised or offended when you look them in the face too long.
A crowd adds a feeling like "everybody is in the same situation". I feel equal then, not inferior. For example in a bus, all have the same destination, the same delay. It feels safe that the others do the same, for example waiting for the traffic lights. In another country it's even better because not speaking the language well is a very acceptable reason to not start conversations. Maybe strange..., but very true for me; I feel safest with a lot of strangers around. When I would need help, it is easy to get.

I agree, I feel very uncomfortable in large crowds.
The only problem with driving is the use of petroleum fuels. I'll be so much happier once I figure out how to afford a diesel so that I can make my own B100 and then it'll only cost me tires and brakes to go for a drive.
I feel the safest inside my own head (mind?)
OH! And no, I don't hear voices at all, live in a fantasy world in my head, nor do I lose touch with who I am and/or what is going on around me.
(Just thought I should clarify that one.)
Yeah.......sometimes I think I'd like to be like Thoreau and just chuck it all when I retire. Find a small log cabin in the woods (with quick access to a big city). (Actually, I have found some cute log cabins in the woods here in East Tennessee - closer to the Smokey Mountains.)
So many of us are at home in the wild. Nature accepts us just fine, oft better than it accepts NTs. So who's the one out of sorts here?
