what do i need?
Monday, April 21, 2008it’s been a loong time since i ate out alone. i spent a couple of minutes first wandering around the mall then i finally decided that i should have lunch. i didn’t feel like eating because my mood was adversely affecting my appetite. but i had time to spare and i didn’t want to be stuck in the office for the rest of my lunch break.
i decided to have lunch at red ribbon. coincidence or a product of the unconscious that i always eat at red ribbon whenever i’m alone. i feel comfortable dining by myself here unlike in other places where i feel self-conscious.
while trying to finish my meal (which i didn’t enjoy as much as i would like to because of my mood), i was thinking of where i am in maslow’s hierarchy of needs. i think my focus now is on satisfying my social needs. i’m not a sociable person - friendly but not sociable. i think i have neglected this need because of my introvert personality but now i feel that’s it’s imperative for me to cultivate relationships with people.
according to wikipedia, a person can be susceptible to loneliness, social anxiety, and depression due to the absence of social elements. i’m not suffering from social anxiety or depression. i’m not clinically depressed that is. but i think i’m sad.
well, this is just a phase. i’ve been in this phase before and i know that this shall pass just like it did before. and then i will feel better again. when i feel better again i hope the lonely phase will never visit me ever.
