Call this a poem of sorts...
Grab a coffee.
I am an introvert and sometimes I just hate everybody.
No, being an introvert doesn't mean I am shy, lonely, confused, weird as you like to call it.
It's that simply know myself well enough, that I grow, recharge and evolve at my best when I am alone.
Yes, some of us people do live like that.
No, I am not really interested in making friends anymore. BUT, that does not mean I am unfriendly either.
I've my close, few friends and that's enough for me. What am I, running for prom queen? I don't need so many friends anymore, and I think that's okay.
Here's a little something you may not be able to understand: Sometimes I like to go out and NOT talk to anyone.
I just like to observe.
But again, that doesn't mean I am unfriendly.
I hope you understand.
Oh wow, don't even get me started on kids, okay?
Now, here comes the fucking contradiction-
Sometimes I need you guys.
It does get lonely sometimes.
When the loneliness comes, so does the negativity.
The negative thoughts, ugh.
And I see how you people do help.
A simple joke to make me laugh.
A simple smile from a stranger.
Seeing a random stranger do a good deed.
Being offered a ride from a friend.
Realizing some friend isn't THAT annoying and is actually pretty cool.
Just like that.
I guess you could say, us introverts lead a very contradictory life, or maybe it's just me. I don't know.
I need and don't need you guys.
So there.
Get it?
Hope you do.
It seems that many of the deepest things about us are paradoxes. We wish to excel at something, but we want to fit in.
Yes indeed. The paradoxes.
I am an introvert too and I can so relate to this. Yes, I need my alone time. And then, yes, I need my people. But then I need more alone time to recover from you people. That's my happy little cycle :-)
I know right lol! It's a contradiction. We're only human after all.
I too can relate to this. At times it is frustrating that people don't understand what being an introvert is. Most of the time I don't care ;-) Thanks for reminding me that i'm not alone!
Yeah. It's more frustrating for me cause I know deep down I need them. But when I am with them, I get pissed off easily! LOL. No problem. Introverts united!
