I have noticed that I have worked by myself (totally alone most days) for the past 10 years. I have liked it this way. I'm 31 now. I have also noticed back in high school I didn't have a group of friends-I didn't ever care for one-I just had a best friend and a boyfriend. Of course the long term boyfriends would come and go. In my adult life I might call my friends once a month. I also have my whole family local including my three sisters, whom I also don't make a point to see.
I spend all my time with my boyfriend.
I know I need to be more social. In the past, being social meant having to be more patient, doing some things I didn't necessarily want to do (like going to a movie I didn't care to see), being bored, getting tired which leads me to feeling edgy, or just feeling like I could be doing something else with my time. Of course its not always like that-just sometimes.
I'm not good in a group, probably because I never really learned to socialize, but now I'm realizing I probably am missing out on a human aspect of connecting. Where do I begin and how can I keep it up? How do I make socializing fun?
