"I would rather sit on a pumpkin, and have it all to myself,
than be crowded on a velvet cushion."
-Henry David Thoreau
Well here's something I can relate to! I'm not sure where my socialization got screwed up, but it did and still is. I have a hard time with groups. I'd much rather keep gatherings small and intimate. For nearly as long as I can remember groups of people make me a little anxious and uncomfortable. Maybe I feel too much pressure to "contribute" and say the right things at all the right times. And if I don't feel that way, I start to feel like the walls are closing in... But the fact is that I would much rather keep my space and spend time outside, with or without people. And sitting on a pumpkin all to myself sounds much like how I'd like all of my social experiences to unfold. Plus, I love the autumn season and I love pumpkins. But don't worry, I'm not completely anti-social. I'm really working on re-socializing myself, I promise!
