Quoting Tatjana gromača :-P
Out there on the street, everything just drains me. It makes me slouch, makes me feel old, clunky... like I don't even belong...

You shouldn't have to justify why you aren't social or why you hate going out. Just because you aren't wired like most kids today doesn't mean your vibe, your feelings, or your goals are wrong or need fixing. The real issue is that the majority will always find the guts to point fingers at anyone in the minority—whether it’s how they think, how they live, or what they want out of life...
It's totally normal to skip the parties and the hangouts. Most of it is just surface-level noise, including those "friendships" people brag about. To borrow a thought from Željko Pervan... being social is overrated, and that constant urge to run in packs is too much. Meanwhile, solitude is totally underrated. Some people just thrive in the quiet, keeping a tiny circle, or spending time alone listening to the birds, the wind in the leaves, or just fishing. Honestly, it's pretty healthy... natural, even...

I don't know, maybe everyone's got their own reasons, God only knows... but lately, the whole "keep it all inside" thing has been really getting on my nerves. This constant guardedness, refusing to show any emotion, being afraid to actually speak up or share what they're thinking...

There’s just no real depth in this shallow world we live in 😵... mostly just hedonists drifting along, people who aren't looking for any deep emotional connection or sense of purpose. The most carefree ones are the pure hedonists—just living for good food, drinks, sex, card games, and backyard BBQs with friends 😉.. look, I’m not saying you shouldn't enjoy that stuff, but honestly, the people who don't need anything beyond those basic pleasures are probably the healthiest souls out there. This life was basically built for them. But... that doesn't mean you can't build your own little universe and find joy in the small things... you have to, if you don't want to end up miserable. Life can be beautiful, it can be brutal, sad, tragic... whatever. It depends on luck, your character, your sensitivity and all that... unfortunately, there isn't much depth in relationships anymore, so when it comes to happiness, you're pretty much on your own. You have to build it inside your own head... watching all these mental struggles becoming so common lately, just being mentally sound feels like a luxury. Maybe you haven't thought about it and maybe it sounds cliché, but just being healthy, being able to run and do everything a healthy person can... that's a massive gift. Get your head right so you don't break from it all. Everything else follows from there.

Maybe people just read to decompress. You know, get bored for a second, crack a smile, and just... scroll. It's a way to tune out the daily grind and all those heavy life problems. There are plenty of reasons for it. Honestly, it's like asking why people laugh and joke around in a group instead of talking about serious stuff nonstop. Everything has its purpose...
