Friends Used To Be Important

July 17th 2007 11:58
I've been a very social person in my life. Friendly, articulate, and selectively engaging. And I have enjoyed my friends, acquaintances, and even the occasional hangers-on. There has been fun, serious conversation, and the occasional reverie that comes when synergy occurs.

In my profession, working with and engaging in the multi-faceted manifestations of people processes, I am rarely alone. Support this person, brainstorm with that one. Problem solve that issue and empathize with that grieving client. And on and on and on.

I truly love being a contributing factor in a dynamic process that may lead to identified path, personal empowerment, transformation of stress mountains into molehills, or whatever else the focus of my engagement with clients may bring. And, at the end of the day, I truly love moving into my solitude.


Ah yes, solitude.

Somewhere along the way I have become less social and outgoing, I put less energy into reaching out to touch someone. I've become extremely comfortable in my solitude. I am not lonely when I am alone.

I wonder if working with people and their processes for so many years has led me to a tipping point. I wonder if I will ever become as social as I once was.

is that something that comes with age perhaps? as we get older we tend to make friends less easily.

or so it may seem.

i, myself am an outgoing person but i do need my moments where i need complete silence and no one around. there is something quite soothing in solitude i find because it allows me to take a step back and recharge my batteries.

i find it disconcerting people who need constant stimulus.

Maybe it is an age thing, Stanley. I know I am less inclined to use my energy (of which I have alot) pursuing social involvements. Peace and solitude fit quite nicely into my lazy default.
