It is a strange phenomena.......being antisocial.....

When you're young, you feel isolated, misunderstood, aloof...

Then you get older, and you become part of a team in your working life, and your co-workers wonder why you do not want to get caught up in petty crap.

And the people that don't know you don't understand why you do not want to be their friend, or why you do not need multitudes of people around you everyday to tell you "that you are okay".

People irl have accused me of being remote, cold and disinterested...

Not true.......I am just very selective about who I spend my time with.

And I do not need others to tell me who I am.......

The point of this is........that last week I was invited to a baby shower by someone whom I have known for a long time but have little to do with and I say " I do not like groups, I do not like people......I would love to come, but I am not interested" and they say "Haven't you gotten over that yet?"

What? Am I supposed to "grow out of it"? Do people grow out of anti-sociability? I do not want to......I do love, but I am selective about loving.

And I see little point in spending quality time with people I do not love......nor putting myself through the horror and noise of "the group".

I thought it was funny.......like "haven't you grown up yet, Michah?".......and I say "Most definitely! And the reason I know this, is because I have the maturity and the wisdom to not care what you think."

Give me anti-sociability anyday!!!
