Grocery shopping is a large part of my social life. This time of the year plant people gather at local garden centers and oft share information.
I do know that a smile will take me much farther in a world that has become so hurried, rude, demanding-and where has this sense of entitlement come from in society? AAARRRGGGHHHH!!
Me and my friend really want to life a life with the least amount of human interaction as possible.
Like, live in our own small apartments (No desire for the work of owning a home). We don't want families, we don't care about "going out," and we basically want to only have the minimum amount of interaction with other people at work that is required for us to do our jobs. Basically, the only kind of interaction we'd actually want is to find a significant other someday.
Blessings and may the sun always shine upon you. Almost time to start planting annuals and a garden.

I'm getting to where I don't wanna be around people at all much these days. Mrs. Chow is fine though. I keep chatting with some FB friends and we keep talking about getting together and I want to, but I've been draggin my feet. Last time there was an event I called in sick. Feel like a jerk, but IDK, was having a rough day and just didn't want to deal.
We are all allowed to make choices. I try to spend time w/ those that are interested in things and have passions for the things I enjoy and avoid negative people. Some of us are not as gregarious as others. At times I do feel better when I get around others and there have been times I have gone some where and become uncomfortable and politely excuse myself. Some one gets offended it is there issue. Definitely more the solitary type yet like people and more family oriented although I am retired and live alone. I rather like it .
I prefer minimal interaction with most others. I believe this is because I am introverted, shy, and disagreeable. All traits I did not cultivate, but was born with.
I love being alone. You can have the crowds and the relationship-drama. I prefer to be alone, as life is more peaceful...
This may stem from being married to an alcoholic for 15 years and deciding I NEVER want the H*ll I lived through, again.... In all honesty, I have always been an introvert with a few close friends. I have always lived a more solitary life. I don't like large crowds and feel more comfortable either by myself or with a close friend spending time together. But I need my space.
"I also enjoy my alone time, but I have to be careful and don't want to end up having 'too much' alone time. . That also isn't very good."
Why ISN'T it "very good"? Is it really not a good thing, or have we just been conditioned to believe it's not good (for us)? I would never have expected to find myself basically all alone most of the time at this point in my life, but I found myself there and -- once getting over the initial adjustment AND when I don't get freaked out by programmed thinking that there's something wrong with or unhealthy about it -- I find I quite prefer it!

Kudos for honesty!
I can take it or leave it. Most of the time, socializing has such an element of "faking it" for me....
