00:06

social allah shmoop petunia here petunias in love all day

00:11

every day no matter where she goes or what she

00:12

does There's Just one person on her mind herself Yeah

00:16

it's getting pretty serious So yeah petunias A little self

00:20

obsessed but it's Not like she spends hours in front

00:22

of the mirror every morning or goes on shopping sprees

00:24

buying herself fancy clothes that's all stuff people do when

00:27

they're trying to impress other people Petunia is perfectly happy

00:31

to put zero effort in her personal appearance nor into

00:34

fostering any kind of friendship or relationship nor even into

00:37

keeping the peace with her own family because the only

00:39

person she needs and you know needs to make happy

00:42

is number one Everyone else can take a long walk

00:45

off a short pier Actually they can take a long

00:47

run off a short pier it's more time efficient so

00:50

opportunities classmates are going to the movies or having a

00:52

party or just hanging out in somebody's room Dishing out

00:55

the latest gossip petunia is spending time with her favorite

00:58

person in the world writing in her diary about herself

01:01

Of course or watching old home videos featuring herself anything

01:04

so long as it doesn't involve others want a winner

01:07

She is Unfortunately it finally occurred to petunia that she

01:11

may be robbing herself of some valuable life experiences by

01:14

cutting herself off from the rest of the non petunia

01:16

world for example she'd love it if there were a

01:19

little petunia junior running around one day Wonder how that's

01:22

gonna happen if she never opens up enough to start

01:24

dating And she's noticed that friends tend to give each

01:27

other emotional support and exchanged compliments Well heck petunia would

01:31

like someone to give her emotional support and compliment her

01:35

She recognizes it's sort of a two way street but

01:37

maybe it would be worth it Well plus all that

01:40

stuff her peers we're doing and going away for weekend

01:42

ski trips filling hilarious sketches they've written in what not

01:45

well actually seem pretty fun a lot of laughter involved

01:48

anyway okay so yeah people couldn't get on petunias nerves

01:50

but it's not like she has to suddenly be best

01:52

friends with everybody It turns out being social and having

01:56

a network of people who will have your back and

01:58

help you out in a pinch is a valuable thing

01:59

thing to have So petunia sucks it up and make

02:02

some friends while she tries to anyway at first he's

02:05

not that good at it Like anything else you're not

02:07

gonna be a pro right out of the gate especially

02:09

when you've spent your entire existence well disliking people Friendship

02:12

is a skill and petunia resolves and works hard to

02:15

hone it The more she tries to be personable and

02:18

to make jokes in the laugh it's jokes of others

02:20

to be an ear for someone who needs a listener

02:22

and not just be yapping about herself all day long

02:24

Well the more rewarding she finds the trade off and

02:27

the better she gets it we'll simply being a social

02:29

animal by the time she gets college well who knows

02:31

Petunia might be the hit of every party although gona

02:34

parties might be a little awkward after all her first 00:02:36.33 --> [endTime] love is always gonna be there
