Forced Socialization: The Daily Fight Against Hibernation Mode

Yall, I do not feel like being around:

When was the last time you had that feeling?

My capacity for connection feels capped! Sometimes I barely have capacity to connect with my own individual human experience.

I want to sit by my heater, wrap myself in blankets, drink tea, and just be.

Although, this is fine to do from time to time – I know I must make myself socialize.

I did engage with humans already today, but I find that I need to make sure I do so daily. This may not look like a deep discussion with anyone I know – perhaps a simple “hello” to a stranger or just walking around people.

If I had it my way – I’d hibernate for days. It’s so cold out where I live! Going outside feels brutal!

Due to a dental appointment, I connected with amazing humans today outside of my fam bam.

I’m also making myself go to kickboxing tonight.

I don’t want to go.

I don’t want to talk to people at all.

I haven’t boxed in a few days and may not the rest of the week. So….I’m making myself go and be around people.

If you haven’t been around people and don’t want to be – I get it. Nevertheless, I encourage you to engage with others at least 1x per day. Especially, with there being more darkness in this U.S. winter season.

I just saw a YouTube video about how those who like to be alone – should make sure to have a person to text “Good Morning” to each day. I may find a couple peeps to do that with who won’t try to text me a lot – bahahahaha! Just take the GM and move on! Don’t ask what I have planned or how I’m doing – cause idk and I’m not fakin ish!

Love,
