Is Alone The Answer?
After the divorce from my first marriage, my mother could not accept that I was happy alone. It was such an alien concept to her. No matter what I said she did not believe me. She thought I was really miserable deep down inside. I was and am comfortable being alone. However, that is not how I think a full life should be lived.
I have no problem spending a lot of time by myself. However, it is easy especially for me to get disconnected from people when I do that. I can go a whole weekend with very little interaction. I know my life is better the more I get out of my comfort zone and meet people.
One of my goals is to be more sociable and meet more people. I know I have to be the one who reaches out and initiates the interaction. People are not going to just start coming up to me. I was told by a coach that to really grow you need to get comfortable with being uncomfortable. I have taken the comfortable route for most of my life. It is time to see what uncomfortable brings me.
I am ok with alone but know it is not the answer. I am not ok with just ok anymore.
