i am growing into an introvert as I am growing older. There is a peace and sense of calm which is healthy for me I believe. But it is people around me who tell me I am abnormal because I don't wish to go out to social gatherings and I don't miss taking to people. Mind you in my job I have to communicate all day which I do comfortably..but then precious time after for me, myself and I. I am content until an upset friend barges in to tell me that I am failing at friendships ..because I have turned down an outing for delicious time by myself at home and my garden.. It makes me feel so bad because I would be happy if I could feel differently..then, I am told that with my behaviour I will die all alone..the strange thing is that my job is about caring and supporting other people.. I don't know but it upsets me to be told "there is something wrong with you" ..so ..I withdraw because I cannot argue about it and cannot feel any different.
