How introverted are you?
Quite introverted. The personality test last time gave me I think 2% extroversion? Coming from a large family who are all (to greater or lesser extents) introverts meant that I didn't get pushed so much to be social, since I could just hide behind my family (still do). Are there parties in high school? I don't exactly know the meaning of party.... The only place I really interact with people is within my church, so I know a lot of older people and find it difficult to interact with ordinary kids my age. I like the older people who are from a different life, almost, who I can ask for their wisdom, meaning I don't quite know what the ordinary people my age are like. And as for approaching new people, I don't. Why would people want to talk to me anyway? I've tried making friends in primary school. I have made some friends (or acquaintances, anyway) at high school, somehow, but I wouldn't be surprised if uni didn't work that way. I know it's meant to be a great social place, but I hear about a lot of the uni stuff and go 'why would I want to do that?' I'm used to my own company, to the noise of my own thoughts. It's only relatively recently that I even found friends apart from one childhood friend. So I'm quite introverted... how do you talk to people anyway?
How has lockdown affected your social life?
What social life?
Would you like to be a more outgoing person? Why?
I'd like to be a bit less self-conscious when I talk to people - and I always overanalyse what I said afterwards. So yes. Hopefully uni will help with that - I need it, especially for uni!
