As I sat at Bill's the other night I wondered, why do people find a need to go out of their circle to socialize? Considering we are born alone, why do we as adults socialize sometimes in large numbers? Robh and I sat and discussed this and we arrived at the following reasons!
First socializing is a learned behavior!
Reason for socializing:
Loneliness (number one cause of death)
Get laid (picking up a trick)
Friends drag you out (not a social person)
A reason to drink (join AA)
To relive memories
All of the above
What was I doing at Bill's? I was having beer which I don't particularly like anymore and thee is no-one besides Rob I would be there for. In addition I am in pain whenever I go out ! So what brought me to Bill's?
Sometimes I feel I need to address the need Rob is 10 years younger than me and he still has needs to socialize. After all he grew up in a social setting always out and about with his friends doing sometimes things that young people should shun! Sometimes I too get lonely and maybe just maybe we can meet a friend or two while at a function such as Bill's! This has a 90% odd against you!
We did it again last night! We went to Miami Beach for Rob's high school reunion and no-one showed up! So we made the best of it and spent some quality time together which could of been better spent at the beach nearby!
Don't get me wrong I am a social butterfly, but as I age I wonder why when people seem to be self centered and ignore those no longer in a social setting such as work or involved in a business!
So next time you find yourself out look around and ask youreself, why am I here?
Chat soon!
