Perhaps because people are so much more interesting to watch when they interact.

Or perhaps because the only way to grow and change as a person is to meet someone new.

People interacting is no doubt more interesting, true.

Perhaps, one could argue that the passing of time makes change inevitable, socializing or not?

[i_themagician]

If you count physical change, I suppose so. Do you think it's possible to really change as a person without the help of someone else?

[134_340]

It might not be.

You think that being alone prevents change on a personal, psychological level?

[i_themagician]

I think that it is difficult to find a reason to change if one is alone all the time.

[134_340]

I see.

Being alone can leave a lot of room for introspection, though.

[i_themagician]

True; it takes a proper mixture of solitude and companionship. Moderation, and all that.

I have no qualms about being social. However. Ultimately, a person's potential for change must be tied to the individual, not the surroundings.
