I've been told that I work too much by two different people today. I don't think I work enough, though. Is it weird?
I spend most of my time at home. If I'm not working, I'm either watching anime, reading manga, playing mobile games or just hanging around at home. I enjoy this kind of life.
I do work even on weekends for several hours, though it's not as long as on weekdays. But I enjoy my job... although I'm not much into socializing in person, I enjoy meeting new students and talking with them in class. I also have fun chatting with people I meet on HIVE.
I can be chatty and I love laughing, so people around me think I'm an extrovert. Well, I can be... in a small group... with people I'm comfortable with. Otherwise, I'd just stay in my corner and watch.
My Taiwanese friend sent me this message. I appreciate his concern and advice, but I do take days off, though it's not a regular thing because I can just adjust my schedule. I mostly take days off when there are other important things to do and when I'm feeling a bit stressed.
In addition, I take breaks in between my classes, so I can do other things like my hobbies, blog or just stand up and stretch because sitting down at work makes me tired. haha
Then... just a couple of hours ago, one of my high school friends invited me to a party. It's on a Sunday, but I have a regular class every Sunday... T_T TBH, I don't really like parties... so it's a valid reason to decline. I promised to show my face someday, though... when we have a get together (with no party and other people outside our friend circle involved).
I actually just got in touch with her recently... She has been outside our radar for quite a while, but when we met last month, it was as if we had never separated for a long time. haha Friendships are weird.
My friends often tell me to go out of my cave sometimes. This friend told me again tonight. hahah I love my sanctuary, though... I just want to watch anime or read manga the whole day... Do I really have to go out? hahahaha
Ironically, one of my goals this year is to socialize more... I've been doing well with my other goals, but this one??? It must be the hardest one, yet. T_T
It’s good that you are trying to find a balance with being out and social as well as being away from those if you don’t enjoy those environments. Balance is key!
Thanks... I aim to be more sociable this year, but it's still quite difficult. I'll take it one step at a time... Have a good one! :)
as long as you get some rest time then that is fine. make sure you take long sleep times though.
i am also not good in socializing so i totally get you
Thank you!!! I usually sleep for 6-7 hours every night. More than that would make me feel tired. :)
i have that same issue, too much sleep makes me groggy
Understanding how much sleep you need is essential for feeling well-rested. :)
For me being more socialised means inviting new inevitable concerns in our life so I think we should always keep our circle clean and only include people who really deserve our attention and should stay away from people who don't deserve our energy, believe me don't drain your energy for them who are toxic from inside. It might take time to filter out them but once you do it you will grow in life and will find the real meaning of life.
I wish you a nice day and a positive year, see your again.
I completely agree with you. The problem with me is that sometimes, I avoid even my friend's invitation to go out. They don't force me, though... And they often end up just visiting me at home to check if I'm still alive. 😅 So I'll try spending more time with them and my family. 😎✨ Keeping our circle small but with genuine people is the best! 🥰
If you have someone in your life who visits you very often I think these people are worth your energy and I'm glad that you have such friends in your life and yeah it is totally reasonable to say no sometimes there is nothing wrong with it.
I'm indeed lucky to have them as friends even though I sometimes think I'm not really that worth their time. hahah
Thanks a bunch!!!! (^^,)/
