Socially Akward
I have been relatively shy my whole life. I hate small talk. I don't like having to talk to people I don't know well. I just can't think of a singe thing to say. I was painfully shy as a kid. Never talked. When I reached 18ish I became verrry socially active. I did it all; I went everywhere. Kids came and things slowed down, but I pretty much replaced my social life with a very active children life. We went to all of the functions, lessons, meetings, etc. I taught Sunday school and was a leader of our church. When my son played sports in high school ( and he played them all) I was on a 24 hour a day/ 7 days a week go. I was with people all of the time! I became increasingly burned out. When he graduated I turned into a hermit. Back to the shy me that chose to never leave the house. I really needed the down time. After a year of that I have now found a semi-happy medium. I only have one child at home now, so her functions are few in comparison to the 7 kids we had going before. I spend a lot more time at home and alone. We switched churches so I have a lot less leadership roles which equals a lot less interaction. I still hate small talk and would probably be fine if I never spoke again; but I know that isn't the best thing for me health-wise. I could probably stand to take my social activities up a notch....but I just don't want to.
