Do you tend to compartmentalize the relationships in your life?
I have always done this and don’t see anything wrong with it, but I’ve had some people act like it’s strange - particularly just some of my friends I’ve known for nearly 20 years. Personally I don’t want to worry about if someone is having a good time or is comfortable and I also value my independence, and I honestly prefer individual hangouts to group things. I like bringing my husband to family things, I don’t prioritize bringing him to friend things. The result is that they like each other and get along, but they don’t know each other super well, which doesn’t bother me but seems to strange to some of them? Idk.
Wondering if this is an introvert vs. extrovert thing, as I tend to be more private. I have 2 other individual friendships and everyone met at my wedding shower and my wedding and it was fine, they all got along - I don’t try to keep them apart but I don’t try to intermingle them either. I was curious how you are all with your relationships.
