{FORWARD-DATED} to after both her ongoing RLs

I've been strangely social lately. I've had people over, I've gone to visit others, and I've apparently been invited to join in on some sort of movie night. Not only would this not have happened three years ago-- before I joined the community-- I don't think it would even have happened one year ago.

I haven't really changed that much, have I? I don't think I have.

It's easy to not be that social, though.

Wouldn't it be more strange if you'd talked to people on here for three years without ever meeting them offline?

Not necessarily. I suppose it would depend on our relationships.

Still, not doing more than this thing's required posting after so long would be like never doing anything with your classmates outside of school. Even the shy or problematic kids get caught up in a few things like walking home together or meeting in town and deciding to kill time or ride bikes together.

I never did anything with most of my classmates outside of school.

And even before, I'd do things with a few people here; the ones I was close to. Just nothing with so many people in such short a time.

But you did some things with at least one or two of them, didn't you? Besides, it's the beginning of summer. It's a season when people end up wanting to get together and do things, take advantage of the longer days, enjoy the weather, stay inside and escape the weather...

I had two friends as a child, so yes, I did things with them.

Normally I've spent time with my new family when I want to be social.

New family?

Yes.

...

In any case, maybe you have changed.

Just because I found a better family?

That's right.

I don't think that necessarily means that I changed. It just means that my life changed.

Wouldn't that change you, too?

... A little. Not too much, necessarily.

You don't want to have changed, do you?

I don't know.

...I see.

I'm all right with having changed in some ways.

But, you don't like the idea of becoming too social. Lone wolf syndrome?

I didn't say that. I just think it's a little odd, that's all.

What's lone wolf syndrome?

It's not any sort of official term. It just seems you're not used to... people. Depending on them or enjoying them in general.

... No, I'm not. Not most people, anyway.

I'd think of it as a good thing.

I always would have too.
