While being active in the church during my youth and young adult phase(like young married and young mom), I loved to go out and do stuff with people. I craved Girl's Night Outs, enjoyed ward dinners, and hosted countless parties of my own. I was an extrovert through and through.
I've noticed that the longer I distance myself from the LDS culture, the more I dread going out or being involved with groups of people- even with my very close friends. I'm not sure if its an age thing or if I'm just enjoying this phase in my life right now (my kids are 8-14) or whatever it is. But call me anti-social! I never would have seen myself like this- but then again, I never would have thought I'd leave the church either.
The way the church has its system set up- you HAVE to participate and be involved with others. Maybe now that I can choose how I spend my time, I'm being extra protective of who I spend it with. Any of you have this same thing happen?
