Do We Really Need To Socialize?

[DizIzMikey]

@Sigma When you meditate, and think of nothing, do not think you would need anything.

That's my guess

Good topic. I think we are social creatures so its in our nature to be social. I dont want to end up like Ted Kaczynski.

I'm pretty introverted so socializing isn't my strong point. However, a benefit of that is that I'm an excellent listener. Yes, listening to mundane banter can bore me to tears but I can usually quietly control the conversation and steer it in the direction that I want. I don't judge people and I believe that most people have something positive that I can bring out.  If nothing else, I can make that person feel better about themselves which makes me feel better.

@Toasty Mostly self-help

@Mad Cat Well ofcourse socialization is healthy, its just not in my view important, Also the whole concept of ego in a way revolves around socialising, ego wants to matter, matter among others. Thats what most of the socialization is based upon, so that the ego can feel safe , so that it can feel special. That is also the motivation behind my social interactions I suppose.

Apart from that, being alone I think is highly underrated. I find myself growing spiritually and emotionally. I am getting better at math. Also, I don't regard myself as alone, I have the universe

ego also separates you from others... When you start to identify yourself as different entity in this universe.... That's when ego is playing its role... You seee...

either way you get a bite on your ass... So a balance of everything is a must....in life... When you learn to accept things the way It comes to you... You become more mature on your personal development..

one way you say you don't like to socialize.... And other way you say you feel oneness with this universe...

I seriously think you got a wrong perspective and picture on socializing...

you must know that.... With every good thing there comes some" bad things"( as commonly said)..

so socializing comes with both kind of perspective.... Its on your will to focus on the brighter part and just accept the somewhat darker one.....

socializing in itself a neutral...thing... Its what you make out of itt....

you can relate many things with this..?

thanks for reading..

I have been asocial most of my life, and I personally think that socialization is just a kind of indulgence in the process of true learning. Even though its not the consensus, but I don't think that any month or day or hour should be spend not learning. I feel weird sensations in my body when I am out with people who talk gibberish just for the sake of it. The judgements and labels of others about others are also done in our field of awareness, and I remember the times when I unconsciously used to identify with those prejudices, as if they were mine. I've tried to look at it from every perspective known to me and not yet find a thing of value in socializing and hanging out with the so called friends and such. Its alright I think to spend time with people who can give us something of value, from who we learn something but do we really need to get our minds involved in learning random stuff which hardly helps us grow and hinders us from the big picture by continuously keeping us involved in these fiddling little things?

I think answer is in your question itself. You need to get contact with people that are unconcussions that way you become more present. It is just like lifting weights, running..etc. You have to challege your body so it gets better. Just like that you have to deal with unconscious people that way you challenge your consciousness and see where you stand.

What is the goal of personal development? To be able to create as much value as you can. 

 

If you can put a genuine smile on some stranger's face every day you are creating more value in the world than most people do in a week. And it barely costs any energy
