Step By Step: Social/ Paso Por Paso: Social

     This is also a very basic and essential part of our lives from day one!  It has been proven scientifically that babies die without social interaction. Orphanages that only fed, changed and met the basic physical needs of the babies lost many a baby due to lack of cuddling. talking or social interaction of any kind. As we get older we CAN learn to survive alone - somewhat- and some people  enjoy alone time more than others. I must confess I am one of those. And perhaps Covid19 has brought this aspect of life to our attention more than anything we've experienced before. So although we can manage alone, this does not mean that it is the best option, as one old saying goes "No man is an island."

     For me, personally, I think social has been my hardest. It was my nature as a child to be very very very shy, especially around people I did not know. I never was one to like to try new things, visit new places or meet new people because of my extremely shy nature. I even remember hugging my grandparents when they'd come to visit and then scampering to the safety of my room. I told my Mom several times that when I grew up I was going to be a hermit and live alone in the mountains and just take care of animals. I was a great animal lover because with them, generally speaking, my shyness was gone.  And although I still struggle more with the social aspect of my life than the other three, I have learned to like people. Many people who have met me in these later years would never consider me shy in any way. But I still am working step by step on overcoming my shyness when meeting new people, going to someone's home to visit, and being put into new social circumstances and things like that. So even though I am perfectly comfortable alone and enjoy my alone time this Ciovid19 has really confirmed to me something I have always believed. I DO NOT WANT TO BE ALONE ETERNALLY!!! I like hugs! I like snuggling! I like to visit with those I love and share my thoughts and feelings! I like sharing my life with others and step by step I will continue to work on getting my social aspect better.

     And you? Did you do your homework and decide what you were like as a kid socially and compared to now? Is it a strong one for you or one you have to work on, like me? Step by step will see you through this as well as the others. AND next time I will try to bring it all together so maybe you will understand a bit better why I felt inclined to share this "4 aspects of life" idea with you.

Esto es un aspecto de la vida muy basico y esencial desde dia uno. Scientificamente se han probado de que los bebes mueren sin interaccion social. Orfanatos que solo dan de comer, cambian panales y cumplen con las necesidades fisicas pierden muchos bebes por falta de carino, hablandoles y cualquier tipo de interaccion social. Al madurar PODEMOS aprender a sobrevivir solo - hasta un punto- y hay algunas personas que disfrutan mas que otros su tiempo solo. Y tengo que confesar yo soy uno de ellos. Puede ser por medio del virus de Covid19 este aspecto de la vida ha cogida mas atencion que cualquier otra experiencia de nuestras vidas.  Y aunque podemos aguantarlo, este no significa que es lo mejor opcion, como un dicho viejo dice "Ningun hombre es una isla."

     Para mi, personalmente, yo creo que lo social ha sido lo mas dificil. Era mi naturaleza de nina de ser muy muy muy timida, en especial con personas que no conoci. Nunca me gusto probar cosas nuevas, visitar sitios que no conoci o conocer personas nuevas por culpa de mi timidez extrema. Recuerdo  abrazando mis abuelos cuando vineron a visitar y en seguida escapando a la seguridad de mi cuarto. Muchas veces dije a mi madre que cuando llegue a ser adulta iba a ser una ermitana y vivir sola en las montanas y cuidar los animales. Yo amaba mucho los animales porque con ellos, en general, mi timidez desaparecio. Y aunque todavia me cuesta con el aspecto social mas que los otros tres, he aprendido a apreciar las personas. Muchas personas que me conocieron en los ultimos anos no pensaran que tengo timidez ninguno.  Pero sigo trabajando paso por paso a superar mi timidez en conocer personas nuevas, ir a casa de alguien a visitarles y pondiendome en circunstancias nuevas socialmente y cosas asi. Y aunque estoy perfectamente comoda estando sola y disfruto de mi tiempo sola, este Covid19 virus me ha confirmado algo que siempre he creido, NO QUIERO ESTAR SOLA POR LAS ETERNIDADES!!! Me encantan abrazos! Me encanta acurrucar! Me encanta  charlar con los que amo y poder compartir pensamientos y sentimientos! Me encanta a compartir mi vida con otros y paso por paso sigo trabajando en mejorarme del aspecto social para ser mejor en ello.

     Y tu? Hiciste tus deberes por decidir como fueras como nino socialmente y compararte ahora? Este es un aspect fuerte para ti o mas como yo, te cuesta? Paso por paso  tu podras pasar este igual que los otros. Y la proxima vez voy a ponerlos todos juntos para que puedas entender un poco mejor  porque senti el deseo  a compartir estos "4 aspectos de la vida" contigo.
