Do you prefer to be in a large group - are you happiest with a few close friends - or are you most comfortable alone?

I’ve always had a ton of acquaintances, maybe 4-5 friends but only one or two that I’d ever consider as being close friends.

I believe that the whole social thing that they try to train us with in school is seriously misguided. And extroverts scare the living hell out of me.

The very first thing that I think is “ What do you want from me?”
I say this because I have the disposition of a rattlesnake and I don’t hide it.

So whenever a stranger approaches me with that big ass predatory smile and with an even bigger and faker “ Hiii Nice to meet you!!!” It just makes me feel like I’m about to be violated in some way.

So yeah I totally get it.

I don't have the disposition of a rattlesnake but everything else - spot on!

This thing with stranger approaching with a nice to meet you is something that is common in the US. The rest of the world don't do that. Neither do they ask it you want fries with it.

@Heidi68 Not everyone can be as lucky as me.?

@Jolanta I don’t mind people greeting me but it’s the whole I have a great used car to sell you ( no warranty of course ? )

And I have been out of country a couple of times so yes I’m aware of certain cultures greetings and the places I’ve been I wouldn’t have eaten anything with fries.

Exactly how I feel!

Small groups or alone. Side effects of being an introvert. 🙂

I'm happiest with a few close friends. 🙂

I prefer smaller circles but being alone too long sucks. I've never been one for crowds though.

That is the best meme I've ever seen.
Stealing.
Please and thank you.

That is what I thought when I stole it from a friend on FB.
So your welcome ?

I can function in most sized groups and situations pretty well. I'm pretty happy when I get my alone time though.

Depends on my mood. Usually all situations are good.

I don't like big crowds, I am very comfortable in smallish groups and quite happy being alone.

Exactly how I am. Don't know if it is because I have to deal with the public all day but when I finally leave work I pretty much can't stand dealing with humans

I'm completely reduced to 'a party of one', as Dante used to say.

That explains why.
