HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 май 2015
- This video is about forced socialization, both from external and internal sources. In it I ask whether it is helpful or hurtful to force yourself to socialize when you really don't want to.

I've experienced this too. I often feel, when I'm sitting alone, that I'm not doing enough to expand my social circle, or that I'm failing because I spend more time alone than most people I know
Thanks for watching! I now post more serious videos like this on my 2nd channel, so feel free to check it out if you want: ruclips.net/channel/UC-hMlfrA7cMlJnWP5l60K9g.
Thanks Maranda, it's so good to hear from people who also struggle with this. I can honestly say I have not figured out the right balance: how to be self-giving (rather than selfish) while not denying the fact that my "self" flourishes when it has a good deal of space to itself. Sometimes I really AM glad after I've gone well out of my comfort zone to socialize, while other times (the majority) it hasn't seemed worth it. But it's impossible to know 100% ahead of time. The best answer may just be what you've said: the need for compromise and give-and-take. And a small circle of people who understand you inside and out while also being willing to encourage you to go that extra mile on occasion.
Landon Gavin Sounds like you definitely understand! It is a frustrating issue.
Great video. I've experienced socialization pressure my entire life, and I'm always resisting. I know it's for my own good to socialize, but at the same time it's the last thing I want to do. Tough situation.
JohnnyDeppFan1433 Thanks for watching and commenting! Yeah, it really is a hard call sometimes to know when to give in to the pressure and when to just let it go.
***** I understand. I struggle with the same feeling of defeat. It is hard to keep trying when you know the trouble will never go away. Before I knew I had AS, I always thought it was other people who had the issues, now I realize that socially, it is me who has many of the issues. That is hard to deal with and it can be really self-defeating.
