I Am Introverted
I like being alone. No, scratch that, I LOVE being alone. Of course, some social interaction and hanging out in public is needed from time to time, but mostly I like to be alone. Really alone, with no other people around. Spending too much time with other people makes me exhausted and in the end I just want to retreat to my home and "rest" (do stuff alone).
People generally have trouble accepting introversion. They think that something must be wrong with me if I don't particularly enjoy going out with friends or partying it down every week-end and instead I prefer to stay in and read a book or watch a movie - by myself, of course. Most people take it personally, but it's not their fault. For example, after a day spent at school in the company of MANY people, I do NOT want to go out and see them again! I just don't! A lot of classmates ask me to hang out after school but I usually have to make excuses up and they get upset. Sorry, but after 8 hours in YOUR company, I need 8 hours of MY company alone. I mean, I like people, but not that much... if any of this makes sense.
Not to mention, sometimes it is thought that I hate everybody because I'm really bad at small talk. I mean, you don't care about what I have to say, I don't care about you either, so why waste our time?! Unless there's actually something important to say, there's no reason to talk senselessly.
Okay, rant over.
