There are times where I wish I could trust people more easily and better, since I've probably missed out on a few good friendships due to my nervousness and reservation. Yet, there's a reason for everything and I have to say, being socially skittish isn't always a bad thing. There's a lot of wolves in sheep's clothing out there, and I know it because I've met them. Only, unlike a lot of other people, I never fell for their charm. 

I enjoy the freedom of being alone, and not being deeply tied to friendships. I've known a lot of people who felt obligated to hang out with their friends, no matter how sick or how well they were. Sometimes people fell into toxic friendships that they wanted out of but didn't know how. Others got caught up in useless drama, and hated someone else for no other reason than their friends did. I don't need or want that negativity in my life, and because of my ways, I think I've avoided it... For the most part.
