Reasons to Socialize

There are several good reasons not to abandon your friends and be on your own. Notice I did not say alone. I think that individuals need the company of others from time to time if at all just to reassert their goals and to meet new friends once the old ones disappear. Here are the reasons to move on and socialize once you have had enough of a singular lifestyle.

1. This allows you to meet new friends and discover new habits that can otherwise help you as well as the other party. An exchange of ideas is the ideal situation
2. Once you have enough of meditating or if you find that meditation does not work for you good company can help you focus on your goals and remove conflicts from your mind which is what good meditation does when it calms your spirits
3. Socializing can be a good buffer between being on your own and worrying too much about your own situation. This is especially true if you can mix the socializing with sharing common interests.
4. If those common interests are also work related than the socializing can be fruitful if both parties are unwilling to go it alone and need the expertise of the other to help finalize a project
5. Socializing will help the loner find a mate, staying alone does not facilitate meeting a soul mate, future companion or spouse.
6. It is the precursor to sharing ones feelings. Without it a person does not know how to sympathize with another, show compassion or properly express affection.
