Introverted ?
Don’t you sometimes catch yourself ditching what others consider a fun group activity to do a normal solitary thing such as reading a book?
When do we deem a person introverted? Where is that line drawn?
Well, when I make plans with my friends, I always build myself up to going out, I give myself reasons to go and I rarely get disappointed when a plan gets canceled. Don’t get me wrong, I do enjoy these get togethers, and do like talking to people and about people , but it’s the pre-do weighing of the fun factor between the event and a good book or a good movie that always stops me in my tracks.
May be I’m just lazy… maybe I just find going out too tiresome to enjoy. But on the other hand I never say no to a soccer game, even if it was the fourth time in a week. I look forward to tomorrow’s game just after I finish today’s game. For my judgment, that rules out the lazy decision, or does it? Maybe laziness is how my subconscious expresses its disapproval of what I’m doing.
Maybe my friends are not that fun… maybe I should find new and more fun friends. Again that seems too far fetched, since as I said I do enjoy their company, and they usually have many friends other than myself, which makes them at least “society standard” fun people. Note: I do enjoy slaughtering my friends’ friends especially when I don’t like them.
I never make the arrangements or decide the place. Because if it was for me, no weights will be put on the opposite saucer of the staying home saucer hence the staying home option will always win.
