Awake at 1:30 on a weeknight, thinking about how I’m not close to many people because I’m too introverted to have the energy to put into relationships with my peers. I wish I felt comfy around people my age, but I just don’t.

Give me someone 2x my age to hang out with and I’m totally on board. But another 23-year-old? I just don’t know what to say or how to relate. Other people are just so foreign to me

I feel like I’m always thinking, always working on myself. And I like talking to other people who are doing that, too, but it’s so rare. People are so content with the status quo, with not examining themselves and not growing. I find it so boring and tiring.

And it makes me sad because I /want/ to feel that carefree and it would be so much easier to just accept things As They Are.
But I always think the world could be better and I could be better in it. And somehow that feels isolating.
