- I enjoy my alone time, sometimes too much. I think this may stem from being an only child. I need a lot of time to decompress from being around people. Although, when I do get together physically w/ close friends I do end up feeling recharged most of the time. Other times I generate a lot of anxiety thinking about going to school or work and being around a lot of strangers.
- I rarely work on building new friendships. (I have the same friends since middle school w/ a few additions since then. I prefer quality over quantity. I feel blessed that I have who I have in my life.) This is probably something I should work on though. I know I'm likely missing out of getting to know great people, I guess I'm just lazy about it. If the friendship doesn't blossom on its own I feel like it's generally not worth working on.
- Whenever I'm really stressed out and/or had a day of failures I turn to movies and tv shows deeply. There was a period of time when I let myself grow extremely sad over a stupid situation. I didn't have the luxury of a therapist so I turned to going to the movies very often. I'd see 2 movies a day sometimes to let myself forget about the pain temporarily and make the day go by faster.
- Although I enjoy alone time, I do like the company of people who naturally bring me out of my shell and don't judge my personality.
