I am generally a pretty private person. On a scale I would see myself as a maybe six in sociability. I do get energized with a certain amount of people but too many - like a party - or too chaotic - like a party - has me seeking quiet corners or escape.
It's where and why I used to write so much before kids.
Fifty family. An hour or two, but looking for a quiet role by the second.
Holding court - if I have a role or am performing no problem at all. But never when ill-prepared or put on the spot.
Family members one on one - eminently doable. I love most of my big wide family one-on-one. It's when you throw more people into mix. Same with friends.
Alone. Bliss. As long as there is a book or a pen and paper I am made. Kitchen. Ingredients. Yes please.
I have written a true account of people that I know for a funeral on Friday. It will be given then.
What about you? What people mix works best for you?

The fewer, the better. I can usually do what is expected of me, but have to decompress afterward. Pet that kitty for me.
Dear Jeanie, please give the beautiful cat a hug from me. Lovely photos, dear friend.
I am also a private person and although I do love people, I don't like large crowds or lots of noise.
Very much as you. There is a family dinner at a hotel on Saturday night, for over thirty people. That's going to be rough.
