My Social Life

I have to try really hard to have a social life. And it bothers me. I am pretty sure that if I didn't schedule playdates (read: call and pester friends until I can nail them to a date), I would rarely get out. Well, I guess I would get out....I would walk to the park and library, but not visit with friends. I wish there were more extroverts out there in the world- some people who wanted to see me as much as I want to see them.

If you're one of my many introverted friends, please don't take offense to this post. I love you a lot and am willing to continue to do the scheduling/pestering/stalking. I just sometimes feel discouraged, that's all. So, fyi, if you think of me and want to hang out, be assured that I want to see you, too! Don't be afraid to call. And, if you don't have the car, don't hesitate to ask me to come to you. I probably will (and I certainly won't be upset about it)! The fact that you wanted my company bad enough to call at all means a lot.

  1. I hear ya, there! I think this sort of thing relates a lot to a lot of people's lack of reply to RSVPs.

    Looking forward to hanging out soon!

  2. I love your company Chelsie! Sometimes I just have weeks when I can't fit playdates in. This week and next really look like that. But I'll get to see you at the end of next week for Girls Night. Yay!

  3. I think the hard work part is why people sometimes give up on planning social events. There are several people I've been meaning to have over to the bus for sometime, but at the end of my day at work I feel too tired or overwhelmed with interpersonal interaction to call.
