My main reason for living is to be there for my family. I have no desire to interact or socialize with people outside of family with exceptions of work or school. The first video, The Power of Introverts by Susan Cain, really related with me in the sense that I would rather work alone or enjoy more peaceful environments. Although I would rather listen to music and sleep rather than read, I still prefer uncrowded, quiet places to unwind. I conform to society's norms in which people need to work with others and that I will have to leave my house on occasion. Also, I make it a goal to contribute to conversations with my peers instead of just tuning them out and listening to music like I really want to do. Whenever I go to a school I scan the crowd to find the best table of people to sit with and stay with those people until school ends; this way I am being social but not too social. I value solitude and family, which can be a little contradictory, but they are what I care for the most in life. Nevertheless, I do enjoy talking to people on occasion, but it is more of a matter of overall preference. I have absolutely no need in talking to others unless necessary or on a matter of interest, but will always be there when my family needs me.
