I've learned that being alone too much is not healthy.  When I was in high school, I spent a lot of time in my room just thinking.  I even had this chair that I called my "reflecting chair".  When you're left to your own thoughts, when you don't have other people to bounce ideas off of, things get out of proportion.  You don't laugh as easily.  You get so used to over-analyzing everything, that you can't survive conversations with people; you always feel the need to step away and think.

I've learned that being around people is good medicine.  And asking questions is more fun than having all the answers. 

I've learned that it's better to focus on making other people feel valued than spend any time wondering if anyone values me.  I've learned it takes a lot of initiative to not care what people think of me.
