I mean like you don’t like to talk a lot with people. I definitely am but I’ve accepted it. It used to drive me nuts but now I am in acceptance of it. It is what it is what it is what it is. I just don’t seem to mind anymore if people think I’m too quiet /unsocial
Yeah im anti-social better described as non-social. I dont get on very well with the public. I put a facade on in a fake polite way when dealing with cashiers in shops and alike.
Frankly i come across as too strange and in a sense too effiminate. Everyones “love” or “sweetheart” lol. Its probably my paranoia but im better off on my own.
If someone gives me a funny look - i will dwell on it for a couple of hours, so prefer not to put myself in that situation.
When you were younger did you wanna be with people more. Now that your older and wiser maybe you’ve accustomed yourself to independence a lot more. Not to say neither u or me won’t meet somebody some day but if it doesn’t happen it’s ok being alone.
Anyways I think you’re doing a great job. Fighting some battles. Hang in there
I’ve been quite asocial from as far back as I can remember . MH services push the ‘social interaction is good for you’ message. I’ve tried to socially interact more,to show willingness, but it’s never worked out well. Last time the other people were happily talking to each other while I got minimal responses. or none at all. To add to that the bloke running the group made a snide comment about my paying for the refreshment I’d had. I didn’t go again…
I can be a good conversationalist; I enjoy banter. But do I always enjoy people? No. I get exhausted by them easily. I especially don’t enjoy a crowd, they present too much potential chaos. I prefer being one on one with people. Sometimes, I prefer no one at all.
I used to love the club, I had lots of friends, I spent lots of time with my family, I went to parties.
But as I got older, I completely changed. I now hate loud places, except for the occasional music concert. No parties. AHH. Get-togethers with family is only OK if it’s every now and then. Parties are a nightmare.
I just like going to the Farmers’ Market or the park, with my husband.
I’m not very social, anymore. It’s too mentally & physically exhausting. I just spend time with hubby cause he knows me better than anyone. He’s my best friend.
