People say that I'm anti-social, but I disagree. I'm a very social person, with those people that I want around me. I don't need everyone to love or even understand me to make me feel loved.

For me, it started when my kids were small and hubby and I worked a lot of hours. That gave us very limited down time with our kids. Co-workers and acquaintances would ask over and over why we didn't go this function or that. I'd tell them flat out that our time off is reserved for our kids.

People thought/think we're snobs because I just don't have the time, patience, or tolerance for all of the drama that goes with that large group mentality. They think I'm selfish (perhaps I am) because I don't put myself out for random people.
