Socializing

Hi Suebee, I'm more than a bit of a loner. I'm an introvert which means that I recharge my battery when I'm alone. It's therapeutic for me to have time alone. I live alone, sleep alone, etc. I can spend time with other people and sometimes I enjoy that. I'm selective about who and when I spend time with family and friends. I usually spend time with people when they and I are on our best behavior. It's nice to be able to talk and laugh with others. It's also nice to go back home and enjoy my own territory where I'm not required to meet the demands and expectations of others.

I like to talk to people and am an easy conversationalist. I had many friends and they used to come to my place on account of my profession[I used to teach groups of students and also had a lending library of my own and this brought me several customers who became very friendly.]I therefore used to spend a lot of time listening to their problems because they used to share their worries with me. But I do not like to go to clubs , make friends or participate in parties etc..,[if you see what I mean].I do have some friends but I honestly do not know if I am very social.I like to have some time for myself.

I am not really good with socializing, but when the need arises, i try my best.. I think i am okay in small talk, and i have gained some close friends from that. i lie being with friends.. but not so god at making new ones.

I don't generally consider myself a social person or a social butterfly. I am more of a person that likes to keep to himself more then not. I do have times I am social, but not all the time. I would say it is more like an 80 20 split. 80 percent I am by myself with my girl and the other 20 percent I socialize.

No I don't and I never did. How much I do depends on where I am. If in Africa it's more, in Hungary it's less (the way I live is far away from people), in the Netherlands it's as less as possible. People make me tired. I like to have my peace, so only with those I know, but mostly we talk by internet or on our way in or out (side the house). I am whole days in between kids that is enough for me. I need space and peace to think and get some rest. I don't like the coffee or teavisits, the chats about nothing, etc. I like to be with me.

My whole life I've considered myself an introvert. I love spending time with close friends, but for me it's hard to get close to people because I don't automatically trust people. I'm not one of those people who will trust you until you give me a reason not to, I'm more of the type to earn trust, and others have to earn mine. I do love my alone time too, but spending time with friends is great. Most of my socializing these days is done on Mylot though because of my health problems. So to answer the question am I social? Semi-social. lol

I have an even mixture!! I like time with friends, family, hubby and then there are times I like to be alone. More than likely I like being around people than being alone but once in awhile a little bit of alone time is good :) I guess I love to socialize lol

I don't have to be around people all the time, but I don't consider myself a loner either. I enjoy socialising and meeting new people. When I have been alone for a while I miss talking to other people. I lived in a commune when I was younger.I enjoyed that lifestyle and sometimes I miss that time. Today I live with my husband and I am happy that way, but I need to meet other people as well. My ex-boyfriend was a loner. He had his own boat and sometimes he went on a boat trip for 3 days. He was alone and he didn't talk to anyone for 3 days. I don't think that I could do the same thing. I would miss company if I didn't talk to anyone for 3 days.

I enjoy socializing but I'm not really the best at initializing it so I end up being a loner a lot more. I have a pretty close group of friends that is tight knit and there aren't many but they are the greatest people in the world and I can easily socialize with them. I would really love to be better at meeting new people though because as of right now I'm just not really that good at it. I feel like I am getting a little better at it though and I think that if I just continue to do more things that involve people I will we able to meet more people easily.

I find myself absolutely near the middle of the socializing spectrum of life where I find that I don't go out of my way. However, if someone is willing to talk to me, to introduce themselves, I'm not going to run away. I just tend to be a rather guarded person, content with a rather small social circle of people, because it just leads to less stress and less misery. I think that in the end, I'm friendly, but I'm not going to go out of my way to try and make friends with everyone. I know for a fact that is just not possible but at the same time, I don't say right in some kind of cave, like a few people I know. I think that I am average on that scale, perhaps right in the middle but that is really the place to be sometimes.

Nope, Im a big loner . I perfer to be by myself most of the time. I do communicate with people, but I dont need to be around them constantly. For example if I just worked a 8 hour shift I dont want to go out with friends. Im tired and drined I just want to be by myself and relax. I knew a few in college who had to be around people from the time they wake up to when they go to bed, they need that acceptance, and get bored by theselves.

I don't have to be with people all the time at all. I was an only child and like being alone. I love spending time with my kids and husband but I also enjoy being alone with my pets, well that's not really alone though. My kids can wear you out and as much as I love them I love bedtime too ha ha. As for socializing I love holidays and special occasions like weddings, picnics, cookouts stuff like that. Or just a girls night out. But if I go for a few months without anything like that I'm perfectly fine.

I would say it depends really on my mood. For me a lot of the time yes I love to be social, in fact it's easy because I hang out with my room mates all the time as we were all friends first. But sometimes I feel like just having time to myself for me you know. I like to just relax and unwind doing some internet surfing or say chatting on sites like this:) I also find that it is very important to spend good quality time with my girl friend. She lives 2 hours away from me and I only get to see her maybe 3 times a month, so for me when I get her with me that is the most important time!

The best person i love to socialise with is my partner reason is because my partner is everytthing to me. He is more than a friend and socialising with your partner allows you to open your inward self to him more. Doing this gives him a sense of friendship and love, knowing that he is appreciated and that he cann be trusted.

By nature, we are all social animals. We just cannot imagine being aloof from the societal set up. It is in social gatherings and meetings that quite a lot of interaction is achieved. The gregarious temperament of man necessitates mutual liking and associations. A bit of socializing is essential to maintain good individual relationships. It is in the societal framework that we have sound existence.

I more often spend time with my family/alone than friends. I just enjoy my family companion more that my friends. I am really not very social.
