Are they wrong being busy people?

You ever think they just don't want to socialize with the neighbors? I live in NYC and everyone has a social life but they choose who they socialize with. Everyone has friends and family maybe their not looking to expand their circle.

I don't think they're wrong because they are busy,after all everyone has his or her own priorities in life,but to be honest I couldn't be like them,busy from dawn to dusk and not willing to have a social life just for the sake of money and high position;for me life is too short to spend it like this,but as I said before,every person sees things differently and if that's what makes them feel pleased,then they should live their own way.

I remember a poem I wrote about these people, specially youngsters: I see them rushing everywhere, For those around, they don’t care Going past with a ‘Hi’ and ‘Bye’ ‘Have no time’ they say with a sigh! They run to catch a bus or a train In the slush and dirt of the pouring rain Their job’s at stake they seem to say This is their life from day to day. With one hand glued to the telephone They wait for the sound of the musical tone Chatting away not a moment to spare Looking neither here nor there. Their thoughts are scattered everywhere The kids at school, with none to care What about food their thoughts go there The cleaning routine there’s none to share Throwing their hands at times in despair Our life they say is beyond repair The choices are several where could they go They have to rush they cant go slow Yet they have a smile on their lips They go about, swinging their hips Their popular slogan, ‘leave us alone’ ‘It is our business you mind your own’

I used to be the "busy person" and it almost killed me. I now know the human creature was not meant to live like that, but I don't fault poeple that are still caught up in that life. I know how high the pressure is to be productive in this society. What I don't like, that I think adds a different spin to your discussion, is when the "busy people" look down on those of us who are now more relaxed. There is a negative view of people who aren't working hard in the capitalist system.

Their just being busy people. Stress can have major affect on social life, and it is very hard to control. In addition to stress, people take a lot of coffee and food when they're stress. Usually food that have bad affects on personal health, that continue to add stress. It is very difficult to control, therefore it is best to just understand their situation. They may be irritating, but how do you expect yourself to be when you are on a "mission" and someone steps in the way. My suggestion is to let them finish, or perhaps give them food. Sometimes they just claim to be busy because they weren't social to begin with. If that is the case you should just leave them alone. You already did your part by being kind to them.

There's nothing wrong with being a busy person, especially if what's keeping you busy is something you love or support your lifestyle with. The issue arises when a person becomes so consumed by what their doing and have going on in their life that they neglect their family or friends, and become inconsiderate of others' time and needs. I've seen it before where a good person gets a promotion or more responsibility, and with the territory comes a slight change to how they manage their time or interact with people. I aspire to be a busy person myself, with a balance of work, family, travel and fun consuming my life :)

I don't think they are wrong. I think they just don't know any different. It was a big change for me when I moved from a big city to a small town. After knowing all the bad things that can happen in a bigger city I didn't want to spend any time around my neighbors but it change later on. And I realized what kind of blessing it can be knowing who your neighbors are.

hello, First we must clarify that not all of those busy people. alright? Okay. So, that is one problem of being a busy person, there are times that he cant socialize to other people but that doesn't mean that he is bad at all.What you are saying maybe he just cant help to financial because he maybe also have a problem to it. Lets not look only to one side of the person, let also see his whole. Maybe the only wrong here is that he is always busy and cannot socialize to his own neighbor. good luck.

I don't think there is anything wrong with them. They are leading their own life and they have the right to do that. They cannot help it if they are really busy with work and their own personal life. I personally do not expect my neighbor to have time to knock on my door to chit chat. They work and have their own private lives which is really fine withe me.
