Being born as the only child of a divorced family has shaped me into a self - centered girl I am today. Throughout my childhood, I didn't make a lot of friends and I cling so much on my mother whom for me the only best friend I can declare.
Indeed being an introvert is not easy. It's not only I have to deal with my own feeling, but others too. Of course I can mend my heart by trying to be positive, but I can't tell every people I met that I am an introvert right?
Being misunderstood is the exact problem I had to deal with almost everybody. When I asked my friend what is their first impression about me on our first meeting, all of them will answer the same. It's either:
" I'm afraid to befriend with you at first, but once I know you, it's okay"
or,
"You didn't talk much, I had pegged you as an arrogant"
The blame is nobody's. Since forever the extroverts has become the major focus in human nation and so the introverts become the weird population living on planet Earth.
For those who intend to suggest me to change for good, keep it shut because there is not a single day in my life I didn't try to be a normal human being. Being introvert is not something that you can choose. It's like the erythrocytes running in your vein. You can't get rid of it even if you donate you blood everyday.
Please stay positive. My blood ain't boiled yet.
I just want you to know a few facts about the introvert so that whenever you come across someone like me in the future, maybe your kids, you'll treat them better.
- the introverts are not anti - social. If only you know how bad I want to hang around with my friends but I can't. It's suffocating. I want to befriend with everybody, but I'll be awkward. Plus, I am not used to conversation. So if I had to choose, I prefer texting than making a phone call.
- they cannot be in crowd. I'll feel like I'm in a sardine can. I can't even sit in between anybody in the classroom. I'll prefer listening to other if I had to be in a crowd. For your information, four people is already a crowd to me.
- quiet is their noise. the introverts enjoys stimulating ideas by thinking of new things of their interest. As for me, I like to think of the pattern in human behavior. It's feels like writing my own philosophical books over my brain and stores it in some compartment in the library of my brain.
- they hate nobody. Staying away from people does not mean they hate everybody. In fact me myself adores every people because I look for goodness that may lies in someone's heart. It's just that, being with someone make me tired or drained. I need a lot of time alone to recharge and clear my mind.
This is just a little bit of it. Basically all are about being alone, need to be alone and alone. But this is the truth.
