chanced upon an article that so describes what i feel sometimes. increasingly so actually. here's the full article(: http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200303/rauch Extroverts have no idea of the torment they put us through. Sometimes, as we gasp for air amid the fog of their 98-percent-content-free talk, we wonder if extroverts even bother to listen to themselves. Still, we endure stoically, because the etiquette books—written, no doubt, by extroverts—regard declining to banter as rude and gaps in conversation as awkward. We can only dream that someday, when our condition is more widely understood, when perhaps an Introverts' Rights movement has blossomed and borne fruit, it will not be impolite to say "I'm an introvert. You are a wonderful person and I like you. But now please shush."Extroverts are energized by people, and wilt or fade when alone. They often seem bored by themselves, in both senses of the expression. Leave an extrovert alone for two minutes and he will reach for his cell phone. In contrast, after an hour or two of being socially "on," we introverts need to turn off and recharge. This isn't antisocial. It isn't a sign of depression. It does not call for medication. For introverts, to be alone with our thoughts is as restorative as sleeping, as nourishing as eating. Our motto: "I'm okay, you're okay—in small doses."its so apt aint it? feels like its hard to find someone who's comfortable to be with in silence lately. the busy buzz of school, socialising, do this and do that. draining is the word. dont you find that solitude gives us time to just slow down and find peace amidst these activites? aye aye sis says im gonna go on isolation soon. haha(: we shall see if that happens.anyhow, HAPPY EIGHTEENTH my beloved bestie ber(:
