My social life is deteriorating.

    Hello, everyone.

    I welcome you to my blog. While growing up, I had a better social life than I do now. I enjoy going out and hanging out with friends. Then I felt like my happiness only comes from being surrounded by people, and it is true. Whenever I am around people, I am super happy and don't want the gathering or story that brought us together to end, but it always ends eventually, and we all part ways. Then, even though my parents were very strict, I still find my way around it, looking for excuses every day that will make them let me go out since staying indoors always makes me feel like I am losing my mind.

    Those days where ever you see a gathering of young boys laughing so loud and disturbing the entire neighborhood, you will definitely find me there because I feel that's where I'd go and be happy, laugh, and tease each other until we are tired and then we all disperse. I never knew that with time things were going to change; my social life then was top-notch. Whenever I was indoors, I was on Facebook. I even created a Facebook page then but lost it due to my carelessness. I once had this dream of becoming a content creator, but not anymore.

    Guess what? I grew up and turned into the complete opposite of what I used to be. The same guy who felt like his happiness depended on having people around now wants to be left alone. Currently, I just want to be left alone. I don't know why, and I have tried to go back to being as social as I was before, but I just can't. Then my parents were so strict, but I still sneak out and get my mind made up for whatever punishment comes later, but now they are no longer strict, and I don't even leave the house.

    They keep asking me what happened to me, and I also don't have an answer to that. I am hardly on Facebook like I used to be and no longer relate like I used to. All I do now is keep the friendship real with all those I knew before I changed; only a few new people manage to break through the wall I have built. Those days when I went out, I could blend in easily, even with people I never knew from Adam, but now If I manage to go out, I keep a straight face and don't even talk to people.

    For as long as I have power supply, data, and food, I don't mind staying indoors for a whole week. Even in school, friends kept telling me how evening walks can be fun, but I kept refusing to follow them until I later did, and it was worth it. Now I do it on my own, so once in a while I take evening walks. Currently, I'd say I am a non-social type of person; I don't like to be where there's a gathering. If it's possible to avoid it, I do it without thinking twice. Some people ask me if I enjoy staying alone all the time, it's peaceful and nothing beats that.

    People who do not know me might think I am not a friendly person or an overly serious type. Despite the change, I am a very jovial person, but you have to get to know me, and we have to be close for you to know that.

    Thanks for reading my post.
