Friends...
I think of myself as a very simple person. Being more of an introverted person I like to be alone, I have very few close friends who I could tell my most intimate thoughts and secrets to (I could probably count them all on one hand). I do have friends who I view more as acquaintances who I would just have casual conversations with during classes, but I keep them at a distance emotionally; even though most of them are lovely and incredibly nice to be. This makes me feel a bit guilty because I’m not very good at forming attachments with people, I meet people get to know them but we drift apart and don’t speak. It’s happened with people I’ve known since I was a kid.
But I’ve more often than not find myself wanting to be alone, shying away from interacting socially with people, especially if it exceeds saying hello to someone when I’m paying for something. I feel so awkward when trying to make conversations with one of my (more distant) friends that I find she takes over the conversation which means I just say my input every once in a while.Â
But I’m more than happy to be alone, where I can do my assignments and revision in peace without being disturbed. People come and people go and I’ve found that it doesn’t bother me.
