There has been a lot of development in my life lately. A year and a half ago, I had an extroversion explosion. I became addicted to people! Whether it was playing, talking, or just playing, I grew so dependent on being around people that I was constantly reaching out for interaction. I thrived off of the energy of other people, and continually sought to bring more positive people into my life. A result of this extroversion has been a significantly increased friends base and vastly increased level of popularity.
I once was known simply as the person that everyone knew and that knew only a few. This fact was simply because I stood out: I asked questions in class, provided feedback at work, and was active at church. I didn't go out of my way to meet people, let alone to get people to meet me.
Oh, how times have changed! Now, I have a large peer group because I make myself known. I introduce myself to new people regularly, I attend smaller parties when I can, I continue to be a contributing member at work and school, I'm even more active at church and in church activities, and I spend a lot of my time with people who enjoy spending time with people.
The overall effect on my life: I've received support through part of the hardest time of my life, and have managed to return to a state of happiness and relative stability! I wish for God to bless all of my friends, especially those who have been there for me in recent times, and thank Him for the great blessing that they have been to me!
*Raises the proverbial glass for a toast*... to my Friends! :)
