Who do I like to be around

Daily writing prompt
Who are your favorite people to be around?

I don’t hate people.

I don’t despise people.

I just don’t make it a habit to hang out with people.

I like to be on my own.

I grew up not having anyone to depend on. I had no one in my family that was dependable to rely on.

I can share laughs with people.

But I really really don’t like small talk or talking about personal “feelings” or things.

I hate the idea of having to form political alliances at work, but that’s the way it actually works.

There’s nothing better at triggering “shields-up” than small talk or asking me about my feelings.

I like to be out and about, just walking around or riding around on my scooter. The crowds and the traffic are distracting that keep my mind off things.

I go to concerts, but I keep to myself. I don’t like “meeting” people.

When people get to know me they start to not like me.

So I just avoid all of that drama and I just keep to myself.

  1. It sounds like you really value your independence and your own space, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Not everyone thrives on social interaction, and honestly, small talk can be exhausting. It’s refreshing to hear someone be so unapologetically themselves. Hope you keep enjoying your solo adventures—sounds like you’ve found what works for you! Thanks for sharing.
