Anti-social

Can’t believe that I’m only about a week from home! This time next week, I’ll be packing the bags! I have to say, I’ve been looking forward to this for quite a while now, but now that it’s so near, I’m a bit reluctant to go home. I’ve lived alone for so long now that it’s just hard to live with family again. Lots of re-adjustments. Love them though.

Last night, my housemate (who is also my landlady) had some friends over for dinner. A few days prior to this, she had invited me to join them, but I politely declined. The thing is, whenever she has friends over (2-3 times a month), she always invites me, and I always decline. I’m just not interested in socializing. And then there’s the shyness and social awkwardness. Bottom line: I don’t want to socialize. And I don’t feel like I should be put in a situation where I absolutely have to socialize. It really should be my prerogative. It doesn’t matter if she’s my landlady or not; I’m not contractually obliged to socialize with her friends. Last night, when her friends were here, she actually knocked on my door and asked if I wanted to say ‘Hi’ to her friends. I managed to escape by feigning business and also hinting at uncomfortableness. Talk about being put on the spot man. I guess she’s just trying to be friendly, but I’m probably one of the least friendly people on Earth. Because of this, I’m actually thinking of moving, but maybe I should just stay put. I’ll only have to live here for about 5 months next year anyway. And then I graduate. And then God knows.

I was just telling my housemate/landlady today that if I had a really high IQ, people would think that I’m one of those “reclusive genius” types. However, seeing that I don’t have the high IQ, people would just go with “anti-social”.
