RE: Am I introverting wrong?

in Reflectionslast year

I have always been a bit of a loner, but I have got more social over the years as I found it brought various benefits. I quite like chatting about things I'm into. Of course my other half will discuss totally different things with her friends. I think women talk more about people and men more about things (hobbies/sport/beer).

Yeah, that could be the case for sure. I am the same as you and maybe part of the problem is that my friends aren't interested in the same things as I am. I have one I can talk to about music, but not all music. The other has interests that I know about, but never really dove into myself.

When the kids were small we went camping with another family. I didn't have much in common with the other dad, but he was into fishing and motorbikes. I have experience of both, so that gave us something to talk about.

I have my musician friends I can chat to now. Hive is an outlet for some other interests.

Yeah, that sounds about right. For me though it isn't always just not having things to talk about. It's also the fact that I enjoy listening to my wife talk to her friend.
