Getting anti social

I've got definitely unsociable! I've never been the life and soul but now even worse, I won't even try. DH instead still the same sociable outgoing person that he was when younger, even more so!

But I think being anti social is something to fight against however...

Selectively sociable works for me!

I meant to say unsociable not antisocial.

Selectively sociable is a good way of putting it.In ours 60s and we definitely have a quieter social life but I'm happy with that.When we were newly married and our children were small we did far more -with other families,trade dinners related to DHs business etc.But I can't say I miss it.The friends we have are cherished and we instantly relax with them.So whilst there's still a couple of meals out a month,or we entertain at home with a simple supper,or Sunday lunch we don't feel the need to have a diary full of events.On top of our friends we often host our DCs,partners and children.Too much on and I get grumpy.I like time to relax,read or a spontaneous trip to the cinema.

Unsociable.

I'm younger and am definitely a lot less sociable than I was. Not that I was ever a party animal, but these days, I prefer my own company to that of others.

We definitely socialise a lot less, we used to be out all the time, and always had people here.

I think it’s a mixture of things, a lot of the people we used to socialise with, have for one reason or another moved away. I’m just too tired to make the effort, especially in winter months, and to be honest, we must have spent a lot of money on socialising, and I’m not sure I could justify that now.

I'm finding at 78, that I want to be on my own more and more. It's not a good thing. I can easily slide into depression, whereas when I'm with others people, mainly family, and we start talking and laughing, I feel so much better. I think it's something to fight against, this 'alone' thing.

Oh no, not at 63. I was still the same at that age as I'd ever been. Big BBQs, parties, too any pub nights?
I was over 63 when we decided to visit every country in Europe in the motohome home ( lots of partying then)
I have to say, though, now 73 I can't take so much ?

I've found that I've actually got better as I've got older - 65 tomorrow. I've gained more confidence over the years, whereas I'd have run a mile before.

Selectively social
Love it

Yes, me to. I've got a cant be arsed attitude to quite a few things these days. I'm 65.

Not anti social but selectively social.

Yes - definitely. I don’t particularly like going out in the evenings either although socialise a lot during the day.

Perhaps you've just got bored seeing the same people all the time?
I always hated entertaining...struggling to keep a conversation going. Very glad I only have people in now when it suits me and not my husband.

Having said that, I go out a lot in the evenings to my Uke groups, it’s more about entertaining at home where I’ve noticed a change.
