I have just had an epiphany.
It can be completely amazing meeting new people all the time, but also completely exhausting. I guess what I mean is, with new people you feel the need to keep the conversation going, to learn details really quickly, and to decide whether you want to see this new person again, or not.
It isn't the same with people you are comfortable with. With them there is no pressure; No need to learn, speak, analyze, etc. It's not exhausting. It's easy. I think I have taken that for granted in the past.
Don't get me wrong. I love meeting new people. I love getting to know someone new or getting to know someone on a different level than previously. It is just nice to be able to go home and rest. As an extrovert, the right people revive me. I miss having that. That reenergized feeling. I don't know why this popped into my head now... maybe because i spent the past few days forging new friendships without having any closer friends in the area.
I don't know.
Just a thought I guess.
