Norms

Doesn't anyone get tired of socialising?? Oh man, I do. Those are the most frequent times I am not myself.

I figure I am an introvert with a limited social circle. I take a long time to make lasting and meaningful friendships in which I am totally comfortable being myself. The rest just remain shallow acquaintances. All they will probably know about me is that I smile alot, I am neat, organised and I am strictly disciplined in my ways.

While I prefer spending my time alone with my thoughts and my activities, I do try to spend some of my time with like-minded friends I call close. And I love seeing the different things about them. Call me for a movie or a travel adventure, and I'll be packed and ready to go before you do. But call me to do something out of my comfort zone, and you might notice apologetic calls/ messages of why I could not come! That is just me. If I could not turn down your invitation politely, I would make a believable excuse after giving it a lot of thought.

Even family affairs are a social affair to me. It takes effort on my part to be involved, thoughtful and keep the intricate balances in check.

As for the shallow acquaintances I mentioned, they are the worst and the most exhausting type. Due to lack of substance, they quickly collapse and are forgotten.
