So, tonight I'm going to a club. And I started thinking about whether what we consider "socializing" is what the majority of people (sensing extraverts?) consider it to be. It started because I wondered why people who love to socialize so much always seem to choose to do so in places where there's noise so loud that you can't actually hear each other over it.
That seemed counter productive to socializing. But then I realized that it might just be me who considers socializing to consist of actually talking to and interacting with people on some verbal level. Maybe what the majority of people consider socializing to be is really more just being around people, even if they're not actually interacting with any of them much at all.
If that's true that would explain why I dislike "socializing". I never feel more alone than when I'm around other people but not interacting with them at all.
