Not - So - Social Butterfly

  I'm going to start out by saying, I'm not trying to be a hypocrite about this topic, I am socially awkward at times but not all the time. Humans frustrate me sometimes, I just don't feel like talking to anyone or I just don't feel comfortable in certain situations, that's why I'm socially awkward. Other than that I'm pretty social to people that I like.

   I have a pretty good "sense of people", kind of meaning I can tell if a persons an asshole or not. So if I get the vibe that you're not a very nice person or if you just creep me out, I'm going to keep my distance and not socialize with you. It's not that I'm shy.. I just don't like you. I know I can be shy at times, but I tend not to let it control my life. However, I'm breaking out of that shell and continuing to progress a lot more from working in different environments.

    Socializing is an incredible action that I think everyone should learn at a young age. Although being shy has it's perks:

1. You have a less chance of being a loud, obnoxious person when you're older.
2. You tend to have more self-respect.
3. You get a better sense of reality (to a point)

   But it's also a very lonely life to live. If you are socially awkward to the point where you don't interact with you're own family, then you need to realize you are making a huge mistake. You really need to re-evaluate your life and realize how important your family really is. Keeping things to yourself is not healthy for you nor for the people that care about you. Trust me, I used to do that but my boyfriend taught me that if I have something on my mind I need to talk to him about it.

  Come to think about it, if I was socially awkward I would have never met my boyfriend. Going back to my point.. it's a very lonely to live. If you keep shutting people out and continue to sit behind your computer screen alone in your room, while your family is having a good time together.. what are you doing with your life? I got the courage to meet my boyfriend and look at us now, together for a year and planning our future together. If I would have never met him, my life would be completely boring and empty like it used to be. He changed my life and for the better. Someone would probably love to make you their everything, if you actually put yourself out there (in a good way of course).

 

Make some bold changes and open up to people more and you might find that it'll make you a lot happier in life.
