Keeping to yourself isn’t a bad thing

Published: December 27, 2008

Lots of kids are shy. I’m sure you can think of a few, the ones who quietly sit in the back of the class, generally keeping to themselves. I never thought of myself as one of those kids. Growing up, I was always the loudest, coolest, I-can-beat-you-in-a-race kid. It wasn’t until I got into high school that I realized I’m really not like that anymore. With age, I’ve gone from social butterfly to wallflower and I can’t pinpoint when or why exactly. Large groups of people just are not my cup of tea. Even if it’s just a bunch of my close friends hanging out, I find myself deliberately isolating myself, sitting alone, spacing out. I’m just much more comfortable being by myself with a good book on a Friday night, or watching reruns of The Office with my best friend. The party scene is not for me, and I’m 100% okay with that.
