“Why are you so shy?”… “Why don’t you talk?”…
“You didn’t leave your house in a week… you’re crazy”…
“Why didn’t you answer my calls?”… “Why don’t you go out?”….
“How come you don’t make friends?”…
Uff! I do come across these strange questions. At first I used to devise myself for solutions but now I don’t think it’s imperative, so all I say is “It’s not my nature”…To be honest this is just an assert to escape the situation.
Yes, I’m an introvert;
I enjoy spending time alone, I don’t make lots of friends, and making/receiving phone calls are disgusting! So just don’t!
Parties oh! They are my nightmares!
I don’t involve in your silly arguments and debates. Yes, I have friends who differ from me ideologically and I don’t quarrel with them, I just accept their views despite knowing they are wrong. It’s not because I’m scared of you people.... I just don’t want to waste my time!
I stay away from huddle of people and even small groups, It’s not because I’m sensitive... I just avoid to converse with strangers!
Yeah, It’s difficult to start a conversation, and I don’t give a damn for it..I just try to avoid you people!
No! I’m not impolite…I just speak up what others don’t have guts to speak! It looks weird... but that’s my nature yaar!
See this line ______________ now multiply it by 20. This is the radius of my personal bubble. Entrance to my bubble is invitation only!
I don’t express feelings like happiness, sadness, and anger much, but when I do, trust me you’ll face flood!
I’m the one who gaze at those dark clouds, where I’m lost in my own dreamland, with my thoughts and dreams!
I know, I live in a society where people have parties and dhamakkas..Who cares? I just enjoy myself in my little castle... Something you don’t even imagine!
Do you have an Instagram account? Obviously Yes, Arey wait I’m updated yaar..I stay online for hours but texts none... It’s quiet simple because I don’t want to waste my time by chit chatting!
Yes, I live in my kinda small world, with my thoughts, parents, one or two close friends, books... more than enough!
When pets are your only stress busters, whenever I see animals, I just think “Hey things can’t get awkward with me”.
Do you people talk with yourself? I love talking to myself, talking about my life... Sounds weird right? But that’s me!
In class, I’m known to be a sincere student...Since I speak less, finish off my work on time teachers appreciates me....Do you think am so dramatic? Of course not! I just don’t keep my work pending.
I think a lot...Create funny and interesting stories within myself but NEVER share with anyone.... May be because you’re just not my type.
Yeah! I talk less when I have nothing to say...that doesn’t mean that I’m anti-social...I’m not here to entertain you by the way!
Friend: “Let’s do something this weekend.” - “Okay. How about coffee and movie at my place.”- “I was thinking about a get together party” - “Arey, you were thinking wrong!”
Yes, I’m an extrovert with the one I’m close enough....I do share my thoughts/feeling/views everything...but I’m reserved when I don’t want to share with you people... I just keep myself MUM.
Listen it’s not that I can’t interact or spend time with you all...Come on yaar..I’m just not interested in your boring gossips!
Yeah I do agree that I don’t have many friends like you people.. but I’m happy with the one I have and I do enjoy it.
Yeah professor, I know the answer but I am not ready to take up the burden of 100+ eyeballs, ears and opinions. So I won’t raise my hand.
I don’t know why do I think too much at particular situation over a particular problem, and guess what? I literally end up with headache not a solution!
Yes I’m quiet, but not timid!
Less active,but not unsmart!
I’m just listening!
I’m just observing!
Do I attend social functions?
No!
Parties and meet-ups are places where people get to know each other, but do I really want that? Not at all.
Going out and catching up with old friends. ❌
Sitting at home, watching avengers and shinchan for the 125768th time. ✔️
Do I want random people to know that exist?
No Again!
Stop to acknowledge my friend in a shopping mall. ❌
Change my way to avoid the gatherings. ✔️
Do I participate?
No. No. No.
Let me remind you that, I'm intelligent, creative and a skillful person..but I'm afraid to showcase my skills to the world.
Wanna participate? ❌
Who's your best friend?
Moon? Sky? ️✔️
Humans? Definitely not. ❌
What's our favorite past time?
Going out with friends. ❌
Sleeping, watching cartoons, sketching and spending time alone. ✔️
My best friend....Books. The most underrated past-time. It’s an ocean of emotion, knowledge, experience and thoughts. and it’s better to enjoy myself rather than wasting time in your boring dramas. Sounds weird? Cool.. I don’t care!
Then there’s medium. Yeah, a wonderful world. I read lot’s of stuffs , learn and also write.
People ask, “Aren’t you feeling lonely by staying home all day?” I smile and say, “No not at all! ”
For me:
Stranger = Danger
Solitude = Friend
Sunrise = beautiful
Clear sky = A place where I want to be.
Greenery = Visual wonder
Food = Delectable while eating alone.
Heaven = Beach breeze with mild music, Obviously alone!
Live alone, which is every introvert’s dream, and I only go out for shopping or errands. Now school life is over, I finally have time to do things that makes me happy, and while everyone seem to think that I go out and enjoy myself, it’s the actual opposite, I’m in my room all the time.
My sister calls me an idiot for not going out and having fun (she’s an extrovert), but what she doesn’t know is that I’m not trapped in my room, I’m actually as free as a bird, here; I can, from these four walls, see a world that people don’t even imagine. It’s a world where I am constantly living an adventure.
Introversion is not a disease, being an introvert is not a crime. It is NATURAL and NORMAL. Being an introvert doesn’t mean you are boring… being an introvert doesn’t mean you are lonely…And we are in no way weak! So don’t ever ask a quiet person to change himself/herself.
Remember that absence of light is darkness, but absence of noise is not silence!
Being an introvert (for me) means that the life we all see is not the only one that exists, it means that if I’m home, I’m not just home…
I might be in my castle, or by the river,
I’m amongst the clouds, Or even better,
I’m swimming so deep in the ocean all I can see is water everywhere…
I’m where everything is possible!
I know you won’t like me….Who cares?
Who will choose a Daisy in the field of roses?
