AI_1984: Well..for me, I haven't had any visitors for some time now.
They're all confining into their homes with fear at the moment.

Very quiet here now and, to tell you the truth, I'm enjoying the animals' company better.
Where I live we social chat in gardens over a coffee or visit the Garden Centre . No stop over visitors at the moment , but I did meet up with someone from C.S. yesterday which was pleasant. Social distancing of course.wink

Not so much here in my village! Plenty of 'socialising' moments available... we meet in bars if not want people in the home.
Have organised 2 gigs for a friends ... plenty enough people stepping out ...

Those of us who've bern here throughout the confinement we hug and visit heart1

Still enjoying my dogs' company apart from when're naughty and I threaten to give then away! rolling on the floor laughing laugh

You have to meet people to remember why you like being on your own. They make solitude feel like a treat, totally different to today's solitary confinement we do that to be free.

I am of the mindset...you have to first...enjoy your own company...before you can enjoy anothers...being yourself can be hard to start with...cause you might want to impress a woman and keep the mystery alive...but if she is doing the same...you could be two ships going in a different direction and not sailing together

Enjoying your own company builds your self confidence...but can make some become..set in their ways and not adaptable enough...to be in a healthy relationship...some are better off alone and may drag others down...if they get into relationships with them and give their all

Balance
Clarity
Honesty
Authenticity


A healthy relationship is about sharing values and those values must include respect for self and the other... to respect the other you have to trully see them and value them for who they are ...
...the rest is about 'do you prefer to be right or to be happy'? How big is your ego? How much humility are you capable of?
Are you happier in their company or without?



So many variables dunno
