However, if I were to give myself a grade in terms of socializing I would give myself an F. I dread the fact that going to school involves having long-term relationships with people who are part of social circles.I tend to be very blunt with people and let them know that I don't accept any form of disrespect. However, this has cause me to develop a reputation in my school. Any way, most people would transfer, however, its too late for me since I am doing really well academically and I am too deep into my major. What really bothers me is that: Am I here to learn or to interact with these people? Also, I don't want to be their friend, since that would put me at the bottom of their hierarchical structures plus they aren't adding anything to my life. I feel happier watching movies or playing games that trying to please people who for the most part are boring. |
You have the right I idea and I can tell you from personal experiences that people only hinder you and make you lose focus.Do what is comfortable with you and the only thing you really need to socialize for is business/learning reasons.As long as you know how to conduct yourself professionally you will be fine.Some people you have to be bunt with,especially your peers in college and some of them are a bad influnce.If you can not find any like minded friends than don't worry about it and do what you enjoy as long as you like yourself.
