The More The Merrier<\/b><\/h2>\n

Kia ora koutou and greetings everyone. October is winding down into November – time flies, as they say! I dusted off the old winter wardrobe last weekend. I even got to wear my favourite jersey this week because it\u2019s finally cold enough to wear it. In this week\u2019s blog I\u2019ll be talking about socialising.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Are you a social butterfly or a homebody?<\/b><\/h2>\n

This is another way of asking: Are you a sociable person? Surprise, surprise, I\u2019m more of a social butterfly than a homebody. My parents used to call me a chatterbox when I was a boy. It means someone who talks \u2026 and talks \u2026 and talks. I think it might have something to do with being the youngest of three boys. I was always fighting for attention, and one way to get attention is to talk to people, and to make people laugh – one of my favourite things to do 😀<\/span><\/p>\n

How do people socialise in New Zealand?<\/b><\/h2>\n

New Zealand is a multi-cultural society. Many people\u2019s parents, grandparents, or great-grandparents were immigrants, so we have a lot of different cultures all smushed up into one. My grandparents on both sides were both originally from Ireland and England. I guess that means that the way we socialise is influenced by where our ancestors came from. For some, socialising might mean having a beer after work on Friday at the pub. For others it might mean social activities after church or at the marae, for others it might mean going for a walk in the bush, and for others it might be playing video games online. It really depends on what you are into.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How I like to socialise<\/b><\/h2>\n

My favourite way to socialise back home was playing twilight golf with my old school mates. Every Thursday evening during summer we play 9 holes together and then have a beer and dinner after – very relaxing! My least favourite social activity – back when I used to work in an office – was the dreaded office morning tea. I always found them quite awkward, and I would dread getting stuck in a conversation with someone I didn’t feel comfortable talking with. There is a real art to politely ending a conversation with someone at an office morning tea.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When it comes to socialising with friends, the more the merrier, I say! So, are you a social butterfly? Or do you prefer to chill out at home with your loved ones?<\/span><\/p>\n
