[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know people who are only interested in themselves or their work. They have little interest in socializing or understanding other people/their lives. I wonder why some people are like this?[/quote] I am raising a child like this. It is, in a work, shocking to me because it's so very different than a) I am myself and b) the way I'm trying hard to raise him and c) the way society expects him to be, as evidenced by every word of your post OP. I assure you, he was born like this and his been unwavering in his 11 years on earth. He just isn't interested in being social, and he doesn't need it to feel good about himself or life (he has plenty of interesting solitary pursuits -- ie, distance running solo vs. soccer, let's say.) Also -- and I think this is important -- is IS kind, and he IS NOT a jerk. When the situation calls for it, he will be polite and funny and help and elderly woman cross the street or hand a baby a dropped toy. But he doesn't "like" hanging around with people for the sake of hanging around with people.[/quote]
