It Is Legal For Others But Illegal To Me

Happy weekend everyone, special greetings from here. Welcome to my entry on Hive Learner's week26 Edition 3 contest. Stay tuned.

We all have different beliefs, if you are opportuned to move across the world, you notice diverse systems of beliefs, which varies from place to place. Similarly every human has what he/she feels is legal and illegal, even if on a general note , it is something acceptable. What may seem to be normal for one person might be a crime and offence to another. This is based on our belief and it is one thing that differentiates us from others. In Nigeria there are many ethnic groups and it would impress you to know that each of those tribes have different believes, for instance to some it might be a taboo to eat swine while to others it is normal to eat swine. What is permissible to one is totally something another person would never do even if money would be given to him, though they are approved by the law but to that very individual it is an offence

I don't like hanging out
It is a normal for people to hangout, in fact that is what makes some people happy, visit any hotel, restaurant, bar e.t.c but same way it is a source of joy to others, in that same measure it is an offence to me. I am a kind of person that doesn't like crowd and public places, I prefer just being alone or with others but in a confined place. I see hangout as an enemy that gives people the opportunity to show off, and exhibit their pride openly. No matter how hard I try to do it, it doesn't fit me, it leaves me with a feeling of inferiority. I used to feel like I don't belong there. The last time I tried hanging out with my friends, was the last time I promised myself to never to hangout again, drinks were served everyone was with his/her green bottle and I was requesting for something they called children's drink. That one is not even my concern but every conversation they were having is something I can't boldly take part in, I mean these guys are my very good friends. We spend most time together but going out with them took courage and boldness out of me in some seconds. I began feeling uncomfortable and I left. That thing made hangout a devil to me, I see it as a big crime that should be punished. I can't imagine myself doing it and do you know that even if I just entered in a hotel and step out, I do feel guilty as though I have committed a great offence?

Hangout with my loved ones too is a big work for me, I feel very shy and discouraged to go and start ordering stuffs, or go to places moving about or sitting, or doing whatever openly hmm! there is these weird feeling I always have. I always feel I don't belong there and being there would only get me exposed and put me in trouble or make me spend more than I am supposed to spend. There is no amount of pleading, that can make me hangout, it is just something I detest from within. I see hanging out like a mocker. If I am to relate it with a person, I would say hanging out is someone that bullies me badly. Inorder to avoid it I rather stay far away from it. My friends use to call me an old man because of that, if they want to hangout at either, hotel or restaurant or bar, I would just tell them what they would get me but I am not going with them. And they can't convince me, the last time a friend took me to a bar and wanted having a drink, I refused to follow him inn, I waited for him outside until he finished and came out, he had to rush it because I was waiting, he laughed at me when he came out and called me names but that one didn't bother me. Though I am trying hard to work it but, it is not working, I just prefer being in solitary place. Somewhere quiet calm and peaceful and not where people are. That is me, I guess I can't change it.

What I do instead of Hangouts
If I can't get what I want in shops around, I send either my friends or my siblings to get it for me at the places they may be found. So I have my fun at home, if any friend wants to have a good time with me, he/she can come over we will get all that we need and have the discussion at home. I can afford to go somewhere that I won't be comfortable, come over Or invite me to your place I would come but, anything outside that count me out. I spend my time inside the room with my books and my phone, with all I need around, is that not fun? 🤣🤣.
