Sometimes we need to go out and see the other side of town. Plus, being with the crowd makes the work stress go away. That is my opinion.
I missed being with the crowd. I like the busy marketplace and city activities. There is a lot of energy! Energy needed for everyday living. There are people who do not like being with the crowd or socializing with others. Maybe they lack confidence or they just do not feel like it.
To me, socializing is a means of gaining friends. Friends that may lead to future connections in the business world.
