Anti-Social?
I remember last year, I tried to get out of this house every chance that I get to be with friends. I guess it’s just funny time of the freshman/1st year in high school where you feel the need to be constantly having a busy social life, and because of the new friends you made? For some reason, that concept isn’t drilled in my head this year, although it is for my friends. I went to my mom’s friend’s house yesterday, because she’s going through a dilemma, so we thought we’d go and cheer her up a bit. I went home a couple of hours later, and was chatting with my friend online.
"So how come you went to your mom’s friend’s house?"
"Oh, you know, she was a bit down from some ongoing events."
"… But …"
"But … ?"
"You expect me to say that it was a real drag, that I didn’t enjoy a nanosecond of it?"
"Yeah. It’s the weekend, shouldn’t you be out?"
"With people my age, you mean?"
"Yeah."
"… I don’t feel like it?"
I’m not saying I don’t enjoy going out with my friends, it’s fun. But I just don’t feel the constant need to go out EVERY. SINGLE. WEEKENED. I think right now, I need to spend a bit more time with my family, before I go on to university (and I’m sure there’ll be a lot of "social" events by then), and with my future career.
Now my friend is calling me anti-social.
I’m not, right?
Tell me I’m not, I’ll go drill something in his head :)
