Riddle Me This

     Riddle me this non-Americans: what does social mean? Taking into the fact that I am a young, female American girl who hangs out with her friends a good number of times a week, I consider myself social. Now picture this: change of scenery (say maybe France?) and all the sudden people think I am unsocial. Why? Because I like having a day or two to myself. 
     Lesson learned? Yes. What's the lesson you ask? Simple, that Europeans are crazy, insane, social butterflies that flutter about sans cesse. So, I have a new conclusion about myself and it is this: I am only partly social. I am okay with this. In fact, I like this. I like me. And when I say me, I mean being by myself and not being constantly surrounded. I like hearing the voices in my head and I can't do that with people talking around me. Ha, just kidding! I'm not crazy but I do enjoy my quiet time and that's okay. It's also okay that Europeans are more social than me. It takes all types to make the world go round.
