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.
