I just felt like it wasn't the best use of my time. I think better when I'm by myself. But of course you had to do it because otherwise you're some freak that no one wants to know.

LOL! but the funny thing is, I do realize that when I socialize in big groups I do not get the "quality" visit I sometimes need. Even if I have seen a friend recently, sometimes we didn't really get to talk because there were too many people around. I really love hanging with my friends one on one or in small groups of max 3 people so I can really catch up. And working...I prefer to work alone, independently and self directed. That is how I am happiest.EatDrinkBeRunninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14312927503357182649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-202705233899470109.post-43700623254945247082012-01-20T12:31:10.078-08:002012-01-20T12:31:10.078-08:00Great post.

I personally FUNCTION better as an individual without a group around, so my creative energy definitely feeds off my individual thoughts. <br /><br />This book sounds so interesting to me! Thanks for writing about it. I may have to check it out.Katie @ Chicken Noodle Gravyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02852793993330125727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-202705233899470109.post-36688332893293421422012-01-19T20:00:21.690-08:002012-01-19T20:00:21.690-08:00Love this, Karen!

Meaning, I'd rather perform for an audience of 3,000 than talk to a group of three. (Possible intimacy issue ;)). There is a lot of preparation and quiet time that goes into preparing to perform. I can see how quiet time is beneficial and maybe necessary before entering into a group project situation.kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01512573342918958641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-202705233899470109.post-24886184193228132072012-01-19T16:55:01.398-08:002012-01-19T16:55:01.398-08:00I get to hear almost daily about how my oldest doe...I get to hear almost daily about how my oldest doesn't like the prominence of the new group think.

At my former job, our boss hired someone to come in for a day to teach us to work in teams and present to sell. I couldn't have been less comfortable and I'm generally a creative person. It stifled me to work that way. I love hearing that I'm not alone!Amy @ UsingOurWords.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16069160042491300581noreply@blogger.com
