I've done it. When I'm emotional I just want to be alone. Being around people doesn't help at all. Hell I've taken a week of PTO just to stay home by myself and not have to talk to anyone.
When I was younger, I worked second shift. I used to get off work at midnight and drive 5 hours north to watch the sun rise on the beach.
Didn't matter the weather or time of year, If I was stressing and didn't want to go home to my empty lonely apartment, I'd take a short road trip as far as I could go. I miss doing it tbh.
I never told anyone about it, no one ever asked.
