Somewhat of an Oddball
I recognize that I have differences to the #norm and in general am quite an oddball. Does this make it hard to make friends? well, a little but my main problem is keeping them...I think anyway.
At times I will be quiet mainly because I like to know what I will be saying before I open my mouth and speak, which could go in my favour in some respects as it could make me come of as a "good listener".
From my experiences when in the past I have somewhat been part of a group or click of friends it seems to go against me somehow and I will end up losing contact with the people/friends that connected me up to that group in the first place. Somehow I would often go to pre-drinks then a club with a group, however, I would get the vibe that I wasn't being included. Just for the record I knew some of the people in the group for years but didn't know a lot of the group. If I'm honest I had a good time and kind of embraced being left out a bit and just done my own thing actually having a good time, I like to dance to HOUSE MUSIC like im in a trance.
I could have been more like-able I admit & some might say I have pretty far out views on some things but I do genuinely try to be a nice and polite person for what it's worth. I could of done something better though, that's for sure. Being included and spoken to on the night out or not having anyone to speak to didnt bother me, I would have liked an invite to the nights out though. Which is where I will conclude, after 2 or 3 nights out didn't get any more invites.
This happened about 3 or 4 Years Ago now and the only reason I ponder on it is because I feel like I would like get out to some gigs/events where i like the music. Just starting to think im better of going on my own.
if you go out on your own, you are bound to meet others who are there and have the same interests as you! i do it all the time with dance (my kind of dance is tango tho haha). you have to put yourself out there a few times which is scary, but then so worth it to meet genuine people who love what you do!
Thanks, sounds like solid advice! :D
