Is it better to
A) maintain a distance by not participating in some social events and circles to avoid getting too involved in all the gossip and the drama?
B) get involved anyway because it's lonely to be alone and you still need to be social to be normal (whatever that means), EVEN if sometimes it gets a bit difficult to tell who's genuine and who's not?
Answer: __________________________
I don't think I'm very good at being "normal". But maybe everyone feels that way about themselves. It's just that we project a socially acceptable side to others so people won't realise how dysfunctional we really feel inside.
I really need to stop the bad habit of gossipping. Even if it means I won't have much to say anymore. Which is sad because I don't just want to have a conversation that hugely consists of juicy and probably judgemental stories about other people's personal lives. Oh well... one can always try.

ReplyDeleteagree. i would rather have the right kind of silence than tongues wagging with unconstructive content that puts others down :)
