Gatherings.

I am not comfortable with a lot of things, meeting people in public settings is one of them, it's probably at the top of my list too. It's not that I am bad at engaging in conversations, it's just that I'd rather not engage in it all, especially if I know that the conversation is not going anywhere. I may also be asked why the conversation should somewhere, but I'd respond that if it is not going anywhere, it's probably not worth having. As talking is tiring and consumes a lot of energy. I don't ever want to come across as rude or uninterested but social small talk is awfully draining. I lose my mental energy, I lose my physical energy, I lose all of my patience and I completely just want shut myself down as soon as it is all over. But it is the world we live in, where things happen when you connect and click with people and social gatherings are a way of connecting. So if you're like me, have an open mind. You may not enjoy it always, but you definitely may find something interesting. 

Love, peace.
