I’m not a “people” person

I’m a “person” person.

No matter how hard I try to connect and associate myself with many different kind of people, I’ll always come back to the very little individuals I sit down with most of my days and bond like no other.

Of course, I love meeting and interacting with a variety of people with interesting characteristics or mannerisms that they do on a daily basis.  Observing and analyzing a facial expression seems to be a habit of mine.  It sort of engages me when I see people do the same things all the time.  I like to notice the little things people do; whether it be obnoxious or charming of them.

Although, I’m the type that shuts people out.  Sometimes I feel like my brain is telling me to stay clear of people who aren’t right for me.  I get this tingling sense in my mind that urges me to distance myself from certain people.  It’s like it knows I won’t like them. And it’s usually right.

I value very close relationships rather then just spending loads of time with dozens of people I might think I know, but I don’t really know the true nature of their personalities.  Sure, it’s all laugh and games, but at the end of the day I feel disconnected.  

That’s why I believe people weren’t meant to spend the rest of their lives with a countless amount of people breathing down their backs.  Humans can be perfectly content with one or two counterparts and still mingle with others from time to time.

But we’ll always go back to the people that truly matter.
