Better emotional regulation may be a clear positive, but it’s not without it’s isolated effects. I, for one, found it more difficult casually socialize due to my calmer demeanour and non-engagement in risky behaviours like late nighters or excessive drinking. I’m not just saying that being “too responsible” can affect your social life, but it can also affect your ability to connect with “common folks” due to your (perceived?) existence on another plane of being.
- idclip 7y agoI have a similar issue. I am tackelling it by combinimg daoism practice and reading with vipassana to work on socializing and intimacy.
- mordechai9000 7y agoI dislike the idea that not engaging in risky drinking somehow cripples your social life. I think there are opportunities for much more healthy and meaningful socialization when it isn't centered around alcohol and late nights on the bar scene. And you can meet a wider range of people, and engage in varied and interesting activities. I suppose you are less likely to find casual hookups, but there's an app for that now, anyway.
