On Being Anti-Social

A friend of mine just texted me with this, "I couldn't handle being as social as you. I don't like people that much."

This is funny because I feel exactly the same way. I replied, "You think I'm social? I just went to see Avatar alone and ate dinner alone. I plan on reading tonight and being social by texting."

She replies, "...I take it back, then."

I'm an introvert, but only by a little. I don't like people, but I need them to stay sane!

  1. As the ultimate misanthrope, I will respond with two quotes. First, Scipio Africanus - "I am never less lonely than when I am by myself." Second, the great Canadian philosopher, "I need a crowd of people around, can't take them day to day."

  2. I'm not sure I understand the second one.
