> Fast forward 10 years and am married, have a child and fit into a normal schedule; am feeling quite healthy mentally, though I feel I don't get enough time just being by myself. If I had the chance to change anything in the past though, I would leave things as they are. I that feel I grew in some respects while being alone/lonely. I did not pray but I did my type of meditation which is painting.
I am not much more social, but I don't strive to be a social butterfly anyway; I have my family, a few friends, work and a few hobbies. I am not suffering of loneliness these days and am content with my introverted type. What I was pointing out earlier is that absolute isolation is not good even for introverts, we need some social exchange.
What was your approach for becoming more social?
