Anti-social?
Hello! My name is Camille and I'm a 25 year old performer.I used to love going out and partying with friends, and even getting to know new people. I used to go out and drink and party and have a blast.
The last time I went out, I felt so shitty the next day, so much that I couldn't eat although I knew I had to, but I felt very nauseous for quite a while. I had no appetite for anything. Since then I've decided to only have a few drinks on very special occasions. It made me feel that the feeling I get when I'm drinking/drunk, isn't worth the terrible feeling I get the next day. My boyfriend can be quite the party animal. He loves to go out with friends and drink all night. The last few times I went out with him, I decided not to drink, although everyone around me was.I felt bored, tired and just not having as much of a good time as I wouldin my apartment just being by myself. Lately I've decided not to go out when my boyfrienddoes. Sometimes I worry that he might think I'm being anti-social? I don't know anyone and I know I can get to know them the same way I got to know the people in Winnipeg, but it just doesn't interest me as much as it used to. I don't want people to think I'm anti-social, I just think I'm becoming more and more of an introvert as I get older. To be honest, I'd much rather come home at the end of the day and do my own thing. That's when I'm happiest. Is that bad?
@CamAlexB - I think it's natural to change your preferences as you get older and to find more enjoyment in different activities - whether that means with different people (or alone), doing different stuff, drinking less, etc. Ultimately, it's important to figure out what works for you and what makes you happy and energized and put your time there. :)
