Anti social

I get those days a lot. It's really hard to fake it, so I try to just avoid people as much as possible. I find the more I try to fake it, the worse I feel and the easier I end up snapping. I think we both need to come up with some ways of shaking that feeling when it happens. I can't think of anything though.

You are entitled to your off days. I might feign a headache. Alternatively look on the positive side and go with them swimming. It might improve your mood.

I vote for staying home if you don't feel happy enough to go swimming. Your bad aura will ruin it. I know from experience.I thought I Had to go bowling and I didn't want to go and I ruined the whole night. My mom later told me if I didn't want to go , all I Had to do is say no. From then on , if I am not feeling good about a outing , I don't go!

I have days like that. I like to take walks in the woods by myself or just hang out at home. I think you should do something for you. Must be something in the air. I'm in that kind of mood, too. I think eveyone needs alone time. I've been to too many group gatherings as of late and I really am tired of them. The women's dance weekiend was nice. The two Sundays in a row of meditating in a groups was nice. Visiting my brother was nice. T'ai Chi and Healing Circle were mostly nice yesterday, but I've had it. I don't want to be in with lots of people. Tomorrow, I have to go to the hospital in Vermont for tests and I'd just as soon stay home. But I have to go. I wish you a wonderful day to yourself and I hope I have one, too. Take care.

I totally understand how you feel. I get that way also. It all comes down to a balance thing. Stay away for a while. Go lay down in your bedroom for a few hours. Release the stress. Have some coffee and a bite to eat. You should feel better afterwards.

Hay GreenMoo, I had the opportunity in my life to make friends with some organic people. That previous sentence sounded funny didn't it? Anyway, they were always fair with me though my work never requested payment. I just liked hanging out with them and work was always around us on the farm. Weeding, mulching and haying was never ending. I remember working the wagon falling through the bales, tossing them on and getting my fingers stuck in the strings, throwing them off the elevator, aren't they suppose to go up, not down and getting buried in the loft, help I'm stuck. Later, we all went swimming. The last job of the day was putting veggies into my trunk, no no you are too generous, stop, and now I remember that time in my life as a real great time of my life, the family farm and I was welcomed into it, my privilege. My good friends would sometimes need cheering up, who doesn't we are all human.

Sometimes you need a break, and some peace and quiet, and that's all there is to it! just relax, and spend a day athome. Your body and mind are good at telling youwhat youneed, when youneed it.

Hi GM, sorry I'm so late. I hope your day got better. I generally don't acknowledge a bad/grumpy/out of sorts mood. I just try to get on with things and bury my misery. Luckily, I live alone and am my own best friend (can't stand me as my worst enemy but it happens). Laughter is good for feeling anti social & it sure does chase the blues away.

Blame it on hormones or nerves or the weather but don't feel guilty by needing some time alone. Maybe go swimming by yourself when everyone gets back.

I have been anti social from the time I woke up this morning. Showed my neighbours my temper for the first time. Not been very social with my colleagues in office. And ended up eating too much of chocolate cake!!!!

Humans are social creatures. We can not live alone. One moment you feel the loss because of someone else, while other people feel the loss for you. We must maintain a balance, to live together.

Maybe everyone has experienced it.They are in bad mood and everyone they meet may annoy them. They want to do nothing apart from sitting quietly.As for you,I don't know if it was due to the hot weather or the volunteers -a strange mix .

Well, that is normal. I have also experienced this. There are times when I just choose to be alone rather than go with my friends. There are times when I just want to stay at home and watch some tv alone. I think this is perfectly normal. And I think that you do not have to force yourself to socialize. You should do what you want. But just make sure that you aren't hurting anyone's feelings. If you want, you could do some fun things by yourself. Maybe that could brighten up your mood and make you more social. That is my suggestion. Happy mylotting, friend!

i totally agree that we do need out own space, privacy and quite at times. But these things sound a luxury if you have a family and do have responsibilities. How do you have your own space,peace and quite if you have to attend to your little kids, ageing parents,in-laws etc etc etc. Hats off to those who do attend to all these chores daily without any regrets putting their aspirations on the backseat just t see their loved ones happy.
