The Free-Floaters

Every1 knows that Man is a social animal, then what about the people who travel alone or like their personal space a tad too much? Does that mean they're not social?

I make quite a few friends, stay in touch with them through electronic means and even meet few of them when the notion strikes me.
The prospect of making new friends never fazes me, what does, is the meeting of like minded people. In that aspect, I've very few pals who fit the bill. I could never be a hypocrite and be very close with people who are radically different from me.

That said, I do maintain relationships with such people too but only because either we known each other and it would be rude not to have small talk with them or we fraternize for mutual benefit.

So why are people networking and socializing with friends anyway?
* They want to relax and have fun
* They seek some help
* They do not want to be alone

All the reasons above show that Man is an opportunist in many ways. And it has been accepted because there's this symbiosis between people.
Also people try hard to please others as a means of being accepted with other people.

The ones who scorn this and live their life by means they see fit are seen as opposing to the group-friend society. I'd term them Free-Floaters.

The free-floaters are overtly social only with close friends, and have realized early on that they would rather be themselves than please everyone.
Further more I realized as a free floater ,that when you move away from people whom you do not think of as a potential friend or an annoying relative who's a change face, either they let you be yourself and keep a respectful distance, or when they know that you are not bent on pleasing them,they try their best to please you, even though that is impossible as you can see through their facade.

So if you are a Free-Floater, be glad that you have a mind of your own and you socialize with whom you want.The when and the how are entirely based on the availability, time and "your space" factor.As a free-floater, be proud that you do not belong to any cliche bandwagon.
