Anyone who regularly reads this blog knows that I relish periods of solitude. And, to be completely honest, I'll admit that I much prefer one-on-one interactions over social gatherings.
I find that time and conversation with another individual is much more enjoyable and meaningful than the chaos of parties and crowds, especially when attendees strive to gain attention with their stories of adventure or mishap.
This is not a judgement on my part; no doubt, life would be dull if we were all alike. On the other hand, those of us who are not groupies are more likely to be criticized for staying in our comfort zone and, as a consequence, may tend to feel antisocial. I contend that a preference for intimate conversations is not a vice; indeed, in my personal experience, they have been the highlights of my life.
