Handling a more active/very active/constant social life

[PatriotsRule]

i always wonder how some people can be almost always surrounded by others at all times. the only times they are ever alone is basically when they go to the bathroom. and even that is not 100% the case. how do some people handle being social all the time, without just simply becoming completely exhausted. i of course enjoy hanging out with my friends and going out and hooking up and whatever in a social setting, but eventually it just becomes physically and mentally exhausting. to the point where i cant even respond to a text from my own mother because i cant bear to give one more person the time of day, just for my own relaxation & recovery's sake.

i want to be that person that can handle a constantly active social life with grace, cool, quality, and kindness, but sometimes its just fucking easier to stay home and watch sports and drink and smoke and eat pizza rolls. how are some people so naturally active? how do i get there?

PR,

I think it really just comes down to people's personal desires -- if you personally desire to chill, watch sports, and eat pizza rolls more than you desire to socialize with someone, then that desire is going to win out when you're feeling exhausted. For some people, the desire to be around others and be active outweighs the desire to do things in isolation, so they tend to drift toward those things more frequently. Some might even specifically have cardio workouts that they do regularly designed to give them more energy throughout the day so they can continue to be active at all times.

There's a lot factors as to why some people love to be socially active, but the general motivation comes from the desire to be or do one thing more than another. If you want to be more socially active than you are now, you're going to have force yourself to change your habits and do things that support that desire, such as possibly removing pizza rolls from your fridge so your not tempted to come home from a hangout early just to eat them in front of your TV. Or maybe you're going to have to start going to the gym and doing more treadmill workouts to increase your endurance throughout the day so you aren't the guy who's always tired before everyone else and feeling like he wants to go home early.

Changing habits can be tough to do, but in order to even do it, the desire to change has to be there in the first place. =)

P.S. Thoughts on the Brady suspension?
