Q+A: Social Life

Dear Chereen,

How important is having a social life? Social outings exhaust me now that I’m older.

Regards,

Dear Friend,

The definition of social life changes as you get older. Sometimes it consists of family and a few friends, priorities change and you grow up. Your circle gets smaller and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. You also have to consider work and family life.

Sometimes when you have a full plate all you want to do is go home and simply unwind. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. You might also be getting more comfortable with being an introvert, so you want to obtain your energy from within instead of from others.

There’s a plethora of reasons, and each one makes perfect sense. Do what makes you happy and comfortable, dear.

If that means spending time with yourself, then so be it.

Sincerely,

Chereen
