There's a psychological experiment I've heard of which came to my mind today. They sent some guy to Antarctica to have a taste of being alone. Well, after a few months or something he was depressed, hallucinating and so on. I could never ever do something like that, 'cause I need speaking and interacting with people to live. I would die of loneliness and of the lack of people to talk to. I am certain that I would develop schizophrenia or some similar disorder that would create some imaginary friends for me.
Though it sometimes might seem like I am not that good at expressing myself verbally, it really is the best way for me. I can't draw even a stick figure, my singing sounds like a crow, my dance moves don't tell any fancy stories. My problem is that sometimes I have so much to say that it all tries to come out at the same time and the speed of it increases to astonishing levels so I end up being very irrational. But what I am very proud of, is that to me it doesn't matter if it is English or Finnish I speak.
Okay, there are the times when I really can't say anything. Like when someone is asking hard questions and all I can answer is "I don't know". But this is very Finnish, I guess, one foreign friend once complained how all my answers include some kind of uncertainty, like "don't know", "I'm not sure", "it depends" and "maybe, maybe not".
But what I actually wanted to say with this post, is that some people do artistic stuff to gain energy and kind of recharge the batteries. For me it is socialising. Not excessively, that makes anyone just tired and stressed. For example today was a really good and cheery day; I had a work meeting and then I met a friend, so I got to chat a lot. I could say it's my favorite hobby.
Here's a song that's not really related to the theme again, but I like it a lot.
