Hello everyone! I hope you are doing very well and that your day went well too.

For me, being social means being jovial with everyone around you and making a lot of friends even though they do not want to.
A social person can add life to any situation, especially sad or dull moments.
Being social is the ability to still smile in hard times because social people rarely become sad.
I'm not sociable, but I try to be, and sometimes it looks as if I'm just acting to be sociable.
While growing up, I never had friends because I was always defensive.
I grew up to hate people because I used to think they would hurt me.
I used to think that if I was all alone, I tended to avoid a lot of problems for myself, but as I grew up, I realized that I was so far from the truth.
I remember one day I was just on my own when a group of students came into my class to test whether I was truly quiet.
They came and saw me all alone, so one of them made a statement that meant I was not bright academically. I reacted by telling her that she was not as intelligent as the dullest man in my village.
"What?"
She exclaimed
The argument became very loud, and because of that, our class teacher came into the classroom and was shocked that she could speak.
That scenario taught me that being quiet invites attention from some people.
Being reserved attracts love from people too, because some people think that reserved people are always going through things, so they need more attention.
Being reserved has earned me a lot of opportunities.
I work in a studio, so one day my boss told us that we should break for some hours, so some of us gathered to get the gist; some were sleeping, and some were just playing a video game.
I was just there, still reading the material he gave me to study, when he called and asked why I was not joining my colleagues. I told him I did not feel like it. From there, we started talking about ourselves, and in the gist, he asked why I chose to be so serious about reading the material. I told him that I wanted to know everything about music within a short time.
He offered to teach what he did not teach others for free.
I've always wanted to learn music production, but I have not had the opportunity to do it. My boss told me that day that he would teach me for free.
Being sociable is not bad, as it lets you express yourself the way you want. It teaches you boldness and makes everyone miss you whenever you are not around at a gathering.
Social or non-social has its good sides, but my point is that you should not force yourself to become what you are not meant to be. Don't try to be what you are not, because it may come out the way you want.
