Crystal goes to "socialising class" again but wonders: should she continue to go?

Tinkerbelle
I was so happy to get home to Tinkerbelle to-night. I don't know but the class is beginning to bore me. It always seems so inconclusive. I would not say it is without value but somehow I always seem to be one step ahead of it.
I now have a nice boyfriend, and I realize that I didn't have any trouble socialising once I got the idea into my head to do it. I am still surprised at how many years I have let slip through my fingers personally.
It's a good thing that I am not totally career oriented, I really do not want that style of life long term although in the short term it has served me very well.
I do think life is more confusing for females than for males but I'm wondering how others feel about these things. I'd love to have the views of both genders.
The class tonight centred around our expectations in life and some there seemed very confused and gave almost incoherent answers. Of course, some stayed completely quiet so it was impossible to know what they were thinking.
The married man could hardly string two sentences together and I feel quite certain he was there for all of the wrong reasons. Others seemed to want to be assured that their lives would work out that they should not be worrying so much. I found it impossible to tell whether others thought they had made any progress, I feel quite certain that most wanted to be told just what they had to do rather than working it out for themselves, which I suppose was a reasonable view and if I had not met Jim I might share in their expectations.
One thing that did come across rather well was that we could, if we were not careful, put people off by our demeanour, body language and facial expression. We needed to show that we were willing to accept advances from people.
That was something I had only learned about myself recently so I must not be too hard on my classmates.
There was quite a bit of changing partners to discuss things with and that seemed to work fairly well and we did a couple of role plays where the teacher did the approaching and one of the class the receiving and then they swapped roles, that was really very helpful as one could see where so many people go wrong.
We ended up going right around the group, now two more short on the previous week, and seeing what we remembered about each other. My memory is well above average and in a group like this one it presented me with no problems at all, some hardly seemed to remember anything.
I guess it is going to be really hard for some of them who do need a lot of practice at getting things wrong before moving forward ever so slowly with getting things right.
I guess I'll go again next week as the class has almost finished. But it would not take much to persuade me that I had more pressing issues to attend to. But I know that that is not really true.
Just for a bit of fun, look what the neighbour's cat brought home for her the other day.
Apparently these cats take their predatory role very seriously.
Pussy's catch
Do let me know what you think about these things, won't you?

The role plays sound interesting. Sometimes I think all of us mis-understand and mis-judge each other and role plays makes you see that.

Thankyou for that and Amy your comments were especially interesting, I think often it is as if two people speak to one another in different languages, neither of which understands what the other is saying but thinking they do.
