I'm much better in a one on one environment. I have no use for the phenomenon of group mentality. I'm not one who enjoys rubbing elbows in a crowd. I sometimes get a bit claustrophobic when my 'personal space' is overwhelmed.
I am socially active in groups of like-minded people and avoid people who define themselves by their religion, horoscope, other form of self delusion. When I absolutely must be around them I stay inside my own head. At least there I can find someone with some sense to talk to...?
I think I am both. I am very social work my work family and my husband but outside of that I am quite introverted. I enjoy time by myself more than I enjoy time with others. I've been told to work on that so I'm just working on finding balance. To have good friends I need to be a good friend. Requires some social behavior ?
I'm extremely social. I'm gifted that way I would say. My friendships are very important to me.
I'm neither, however I'm quite social for a darkness-loving fungi
As an extrovert, I get energy from connecting with people. But I also love reading and time alone to unwind.
My home is a sanctuary. It comforts and pleases me, filled with books, music and art.
I'm definitely not asocial, but I don't think I'd describe myself as a 'social butterfly', mainly because those folks have an aplomb that I lack. They're a lot more smooth than I am. ?
Excuse you I'm an antisocial butterfly. Lol
Majestic, graceful, and beautiful when no one is around
Hand up — asocial...
I like people and I'm happy to chat if they'll talk to me, but I'm a lot better in writing than I am in person. I'm a bit shy, slow-witted and socially withdrawn in the flesh. I have just one close 'friend' (whose recently moved 200 miles away) and only a couple of 'mates' who I might hang out with a couple of times in a year; otherwise it's just my wife and kid.
But I like it that way. I used to feel bad that I couldn't maintain a conversation as others around me do, and I used to rely on alcohol to loosen my tongue, but these days I can accept that it's just the way I'm put together.
I can totally relate. Cocktail party - small talk always seemed elusive to me. I have no problems connecting with people but I am the quintessential "foot in mouth" individual. I really envy those rare individuals who always seem to know just exactly the right thing to say. Maybe in my next life.... ????
I am socially awkward, at best... mostly socially anxious...
