Introversion can be a curse. You'll find yourself talking to walls, insects, trees, & even your shadow sometimes: Everything but fellow humans. Suddenly, all energy is gone & all you think of is the warmth on your sofa. It is for this reason introverts walk fast.
To get away from the noise as soon as possible. Because such noise drowns out their imagination. And they need to be alone with their minds like one needs oxygen. My biggest concern is that one gets so comfortable in their skin, they might never admit a partner into their space.
Because where the extroverted asks "why not", the introvert asks "why should I admit you into my space? I am missing nothing". It would explain their impatient, unforgiving nature. Can an introvert truly love another as they love themselves? I doubt it. But they try.
I am introverted. This is my reality. I hate small-talk. I have a short attention span. If I don't care for you, I will not remember your name. You'll mostly find me in nature, Crowds make me claustrophobic. I can't stand noise. I love being in control: It's a curse & a blessing.
If I'm talking to you, I made that decision. It's not accidental. It's not the first time I saw you either. I have been assessing you. Leave your shoes at the door. Don't be loud. Don't stay too long either, I soon tire of company. Don't call me. I'll call you. Keep your distance
Don't lie to me, I will never lie to you. But if you lie to me, I have a wilder imagination. I will always out-lie you. Remember that, it will come in handy. I don't fight for people, I walk away. If I do you right, do me right. I can be selfish, look after yourself around me.
I have conferences in my head. Sometimes, it gets heated in there & I end up mumbling it away. If you catch me at it, I'll pretend to be singing/rapping. Don't ask me: "who are you talking to?" Save us the awkwardness. All in all, introverts good. Enjoy them.
