I’ve always been a bit of a loner. Never been good at conforming to a group.

It’s not for lack of trying though. I’m actually a bit embarrassed when I look back at my feeble attempts to try to conform, during a time where I was convinced that it meant something was wrong with me because of it.

These days I accept and embrace it. Being content with solitude means I am never in bad company.

to be happy by yourself creates an interesting kind of freedom.

of course we are social creatures by nature, and I think everyone has to find their appropriate balance of people versus solitude. I’ve just learned about myself that I’m pretty far on one end of the spectrum, and I am OK with that.

I still think it’s good for me to get some dosage of social time, just as I think it’s healthy for extroverts to spend time being alone with their thoughts.

anyway, I’ve never been much for conformity, and it was very freeing when I stopped trying.

I think the moral of the story is to find your own way. And then experience the opposite so you understand a wider perspective.
