Preface: This is just my thoughts based on my life experience thus far. I'm open to conversation, as this perspective is not for everyone. In fact, my perspective is probably skewed or extreme, but I needed to jot my thoughts down and hopefully hear from other perspectives.
I feel like "Humans are social creatures" can be an overrated saying. Not to say it isn't true, but in the world today, who is there to socialize with? Sure, there are good people out there, and I was able to encounter some here, but at the end of it all, what difference does it make? The journey of improving o self can be lonely when one realizes no one can do the work for them. Sure, there's motivation and encouragement, but that only goes so far. How strong does a man need to be to go through this life? Very, and much of that strength is built by doing the work alone and not waiting on someone to come and pick you up. God, of course, is always there, but there are seasons where He tests us to strengthen and prove us. How bad do you want it?
I went to a meet-up with some guys a few months back, I was expecting it to bring us closer, but yet I still felt like I was on the fringe of the group. I've been taking to the guys online for 2 years prior to us meeting up in person, but they met once before in person, I just wasn't able to go.
We can only rely on others so much until we need to strengthen ourselves, and our faith and reliance on God.
Additionally, it seems when I try to "put myself out there" I start to realize being alone in my quiet time isn't so bad
Maybe I have yet to find the right people...
