Michelle had been trying to befriend Maria in the club, for several weeks. But, Maria had chosen to ignore her, for reasons best known to her. One evening, they found themselves seated on adjoining bar stools.
“It is always a pleasure to see you. You radiate so much peace”.
“Yes, because I am content with my life”.
“I wish you would mingle a little more. Others need those Zen vibes”.
“I am content with the blessings in my life, and also problems. I do not wish that people add their two bits to it. Hence, I prefer my solitude”.

Maria is fine living in her shell. Some people are averse to befriending other people. Ultimately the contentment matters to oneself.

I think Maria is in danger of not living although she may be content with that. You have to take risks in life.

It could just be a ruse for keeping negativity out. She does not appear to trust the other person.
