I didn’t have friends most of my life - being ‘unsocial’ and finding belonging

I didn’t have friends most of my life - being unsocial and finding belonging 🦊MY ETSY SHOP: 🍄My Patreon: I don’t think I’d be able to work on my little Etsy shop, or do a lot of things I love if I wasn’t comfortable with being in my own company for long periods at a time. But that has also come from accepting many years of being a sort of ‘loner’. I didn’t have trouble socializing so much as I just really valued my hobbies, most of which involved being alone. I eventually found my way and a community I connect with, but it took a long time. I hope this video offers some comfort or insight, and that you enjoy my obvious candle obsession throughout this video lol 😂 so many candles featured in this one!
