No, I am not basing the above question on the mere assumption that you have a shell to start with. You do have a shell you often hide in on your own, retreat to in tough times, or coil up in and prepare to reboot your system.
It is that private space that you seek; the personal bubble you protect. It is transparent to the ordinary eye, but becomes quite obvious with excessive use.
Your shell can be as hard and impermeable as that of a turtle. When threatened, the turtle totally withdraws inside. It is a natural defense mechanism to be safe rendering it, indeed, much protected.
You can create your shell in your mind's eye and become more aware of it. Observe the patterns... When do you go in there most?
Do you notice that you're in "hiding" most of the time? ALERT!! No movement; no progress. No progress; no life fulfillment.
Do you notice retreating occasionally to take a break? GOOD!! That's normal. Careful the kind of thoughts you bring inside that shell with the rest of you though. Consider it solitude time in there (& that is quite different from hosting your worst demons every time). In there, you have no other company, so be a good one.
And "the reason why some people enjoy spending some time alone is because they're never really lonely. They have their own most interesting company". ~3Ds
After that time-out, you'll go: "Phew, inspiring talk... Can we meet more often? I love you" :)
