Socializing gets easier but then gets harder over time as well

You’ve worked your way up to being a pretty sociable person, you may have been an introvert in the past but now you're getting better, it's a great feeling. All of a sudden life happens and you end up focusing on only a few people in your life and work too.

Work can really distract us from becoming a better person outside of work, it sucks when you have a day off from work and all you can do is think about it. You can go out to eat with your friends and even have a whole day out to just enjoy yourself but there’s something in you that you feel guilty about.

You know there’s someone at your job wondering where you’re at or you know someone who's there working harder than you and taking advantage of you being out of work.

We shouldn't be thinking about this when we’re off from our jobs but for people who are looking to be the best they can be in their career, it just happens.

Socializing also gets harder once you get locked into your career. For most of the day, you’re focused on your work and you don't really get a chance to speak to friends or in some cases your family.
