Having just returned from two months in Cyprus, I’m once again adjusting to enjoying my own company as I’ve no real friends at present here in Scotland. I know I can take steps to meet people.
I really enjoy socializing but only with people I want to socialize with; I don’t like large groups of people. One reason why I enjoy Cyprus is that I meet up with people I enjoy spending time with; this mainly involves eating out, which I did a lot on this trip. It helps that there is a good choice of restaurants, and prices are very reasonable. So, I make the most of it when there.
However, all this changes when I return to Scotland. Having recently moved into a new flat which I’ve decorated and furnished to my own taste, I’m enjoying being back in it, back in my own space, on my own. I like being alone, doing what I want, when I want. I’m basically a solitary person, but a happy one. One who likes to choose carefully who they spend time with.
