Just sharing a little about me…. Not everyone will understand me—and that’s okay. But I’d like to share something for those who often misjudge me.
I’m not someone who enjoys meeting people often. Even if I like you, I may not feel like meeting up or inviting you to my home. It’s not about anyone else—it’s just how I am. Hosting or visiting requires energy—cleaning, preparing food, getting mentally ready—and most days, that energy just isn't there.
I genuinely enjoy my own company. I enjoy cooking, watching, reading books, going for walks or exploring new places. I love nature and quiet moments and spending time with my little family. That’s what fills me with joy. Alhumdulillah. I enjoy hiking too—but not the super adventurous kind. I’m happy with a peaceful bush walk, walking by the river, or exploring a small lookout. That’s my kind of adventure.
That doesn’t mean I never hang out or socialize. I do—especially on days when my energy is high. On those days, I can be chatty and open! Or somedays to make my partner happy. But most days, I just enjoy my own space. Even during casual encounters, like running into someone while shopping, I don’t always feel like saying hi or stopping to talk. Back in Bangladesh, I’d often stay in my room when guests visited.
After coming to Australia and I started working in customer service or teaching, I pushed myself a lot. I’ve grown, I’ve adapted, and I’ve improved. But deep down, I’m still someone who values meaningful connections over casual interactions.
In our Bangladeshi community in Australia, weekends are full of invites. I’ve noticed that people often attend social events just out of formality—whether they feel like it or not. But honestly, I prefer spending that time with my little family—going to the playground, eating together, going for drive, visiting new places. That’s what makes me happy. I don’t enjoy sitting around just eating and gossiping. It’s not about judging others; it’s simply how I choose to live.
If you truly accept me, you might get to know the real me. I’ve always had a small circle of friends—and that’s fine with me. I believe in quality, not quantity. If I’ve lived more than 30 years like this, In Shaa Allah, I can continue to live like this with peace in my heart. If I don’t talk often or don’t show up—it’s nothing personal. That’s just how I am, and I hope the people around me understand and respect that 💛
