My new roommate is going well! He's really nice and also, surprise, a furry (but not a social one, I didn't know that when I asked him to become my roommate).
But there's a subtler but a very positive plus to this as well. For don't really care if I'm not social, i don't really care if I'm alone and not going to parties and stuff, I find them taxing and I am totally fine with my own company. But, at the same time, I don't want to be a loser I guess, or I have this in my mind that if I'm not hanging out with someone or I'm not doing something social, I'm somehow failing, even if it's not something I actually want to do. This caused me a lot of anxiety and caused me to go to a lot of parties that I didn't necessarily enjoy, and at the same time worry about not getting invited to even more parties, creating a cycle of anxiety and discomfort.
But a combination of things have occurred that have been positive, for one I've made the conscious move to move away from parties and move back towards 1 on 1 or fewer interactions, making my circle of friends smaller but closer knit. And at the same time now that I have a roommate that I can talk with and stuff, I no longer have that "you're a loser" feeling if I don't go out, cause I feel I'm always being social with a person in a nice and positive way.
I was invited to two parties yesterday that I didn't want to go to, and I turned them down (which they understood, I said I had to study) but for once I didn't feel bad for doing that, I didn't feel antisocial for doing that. I felt good, and my weekend looks to be much more enjoyable because of it. I feel it is a positive step in my life and I am very happy for it.
