Are You A Homebody, or a Social Butterfly?

I'm more of a homebody, even when I was younger I didn't like to go out too much with a lot of people. Even at parties I stayed with one or two people, not really a big chatterer or life of the party. How about you, are you a people-person, or more of a loner?
 

I am absolutely a people person. Not a loner at all, although that said I'm not someone who seeks out the limelight. I still prefer to be at a small gathering rather than a large one and I'm not someone who is loud and or showy offy ...but I'm definitely someone who likes to be out and about among people rather than be on my own!
 
I too am a people person, but I only had time for work and raising family. By the time we shut our business down in '07, I ended up in my wheelchair, and that pretty much curbs most socializing. So you guys are my social experience, and I appreciate each of you. :wave:
 

I'd rather be home than anywhere else on earth, and when I get home from work each day, dynamite is the only thing that could get me off my dead center. Once I'm home, I stay put. I despise invitations because I always feel like I MUST go, and work myself into a dither as bad as knowing I have a dentist appointment looming. No life of the party here! If I have to put in an appearance at a social event, I go, make nice, then excuse myself as soon as reasonable without being rude.

I wasn't always like this, but the older I get, the less I want to go anywhere at all. Occasionally on a Saturday during the day, DD convinces me to keep her company while she shops, but I'd really rather stay home and dig around in the flowers.

ETA: LOL at myself...I just read that and it occurred to me that I'm forever whining about being lonely. What? People are going to somehow know I'm here and beat a path to my door to keep my company? I need to get a life:D

I'm the same as you hollydolly. Couldn't have said it any better.
 
In our little neighborhood group you have no choice but to be a people person and I like it that way. We visit back and forth all the time, there are a few who keep to themselves but they are in the minority.
 
I have never been interested in socialising if I could get out of it, I like my own space in my home. A week on Monday, I will attend an event in the evening. I can't say I am looking forward to, especially as I will have to dress up, possibly even consider wearing, horror of horrors, a dress and a bit of make up. I haven't had to do that since 2005! However, the event is being put on specifically for our eldest girl, and will probably be quite a big occasion, so for her sake I feel I should be there.
 
I'm more of a homebody. Very content in my own home and not at all bothered about socialising unless it is with close family and a couple of close friends and, even then, I wouldn't want to be partying every night of the week!. I love having my grandson 3 days a week during school holidays and we go off on trips together, that's my idea of a good time! :cool: But I also treasure the weekends when I can chill out on my own and will quite happily switch off the phone while I sit and read/sleep/watch tele/whatever!
 
hi Seabreeze, Because still working full time, commute to work so meet and greet same crowd in the mornings and evenings, meeting people all day in my job too so it is absolute heaven to get home to peace and tranquility. Don't go anywhere during the week as in bed earlyish, Saturday's I love, round town with him who must obey me, time for a Latte and watch the world go by (if it isn't flippin raining) and socialising on a Saturday evening, either family or best friend and hubby round for nibbles, drinks and good conversation. Lovely. Loathe Sundays because know it's work again on Monday and back on the treadmill :D
 
I can be both..(I'm a gemini) I enjoy people...and I also enjoy putting them back in their box when I've finished playing with them..I enjoy being alone...as I'm a writer..just to stop and gaze..
 
I really appreciate my home and days when I don't have to go any where.
Have to get out for shopping, appointments and such but like just puttering around in the garden
or around the house.
My husband and I do go to community events to support the volunteer fire department, local clinic
and church suppers but my favourite time is spent at home.
