To be honest, I haven’t met anyone recently that left a lasting impression on me. You see, I am an extremely introverted individual who tends to avoid social interactions as much as possible. I don’t feel the need to engage in conversations or connect with people to feel fulfilled. I prefer solitude. I like being alone. I usually don’t engage with people. And even if I did, I don’t care enough to remember details about them. I don’t subscribe to this idea that as human beings we have to be socialized. We have to value our community. We have to value the connections that we make with others. If I had encountered someone who challenged my views, I might find them curious. But so far that hasn’t happened. I know this is not the typical answer that you would expect. But this is an honest one. I don’t find people interesting. I don’t make relationships. I don’t initiate conversations. I tend to keep it to myself. And I am more than comfortable being alone. I don’t feel the need to form connections so that someone will value me. So that people would think I am polite.
