This So Describes Me

@Keaten You're perhaps looking for happiness in someone?

@karysma I find happiness in myself, but I'm also a social person. I like to have a small group of friends. That's all.

@Keaten In that case you shouldn't feel depressed. I used to feel depressed when I was alone but now I enjoy my company way more. I realize that if I'm not happy alone I'll never be happy with anybody.

@karysma Having time and space to yourself is important. It is a necessity. But having too much time and space by yourself, it becomes unbalanced. People are social creatures, or at least I know I am. I can't go too long with out interaction. I know I was made to help others and that's what I want to do. I can't do that if I am constantly in the Fortress Of Solitude.

@Keaten I can go for hours by myself. And even when I interact with people I want them around just briefly otherwise I get anxious.

@karysma Social interaction is just as important as being by yourself. As long as you have a balance of both, you should be alright. If you get anxious around people, could it be because you're not comfortable with them or another underlying reason?

I disagree with that. If I'm alone I'm not really by myself. God is with me. He gets a good portion of my day. Most times when I talk to people I don't really grow. I'm just going for hours upon hours talking about useless things. That's a waste of precious time.

@karysma Talking with God is still social interaction.

@Keaten The best social interaction ever 😀

@karysma You're spending hours talking to people and you're not growing from the conversation, then maybe they aren't the people you should be around. Also, not everything in life has to be about growth or a lesson. Sometimes, talking to someone is a gift to just be enjoyed.

You hit the nail right in the head. I'm looking for people who share my interests at the moment. Nowadays days I don't just do things for the sake of doing them. That's the old me. If a conversation doesn't benefit me or the other person then it's not worth having.

@karysma Then stop spending hours and hours having those conversations.

@Keaten I'm working on it bro. I've cut off on a lot of useless conversations in my life and love the outcome.

@karysma Preventing those conversations from getting far is also a good way to work on it, sis.
