Confessions Pt. 9

"I think a lot, but I don’t say much."- Anne Frank. These are the Confessions of an Introvert.

It gets rather quiet here sometimes. But the silence is never too loud. 

It's, liberating. The fact that I am okay with my own company. A sure way for me to explore and discover who I truly am. 

So, what are my confessions?

I like being alone. Really. Truly. Honestly. I love my own company. I love the peace and quiet all around me. I love to be free of expectations. It's really awesome being alone!!!! 

I'm not depressed. Contrary to popular belief every introvert is not depressed because they choose to be alone. BOOM! Just dispelled a myth.

Let me be quiet. Silent does not mean that I dislike you. It does not mean that I am stuck up. It means one of two things. Either I am trying to reserve my thoughts and opinions or, you ready, I simply just do not want to talk in that moment. 

I wish people accepted that I'm in an introvert. Sometimes I just don't want to hang out.  It's nothing against you, home just seems much more promising than you proposal to be around other people. There's no need for you to try to persuade me otherwise. And honestly, it's really annoying that people won't accept that I am who I am. I don't want to be social.

It's difficult being an introvert sometimes. People want you to be outgoing and your shell fits just right. However, being an introvert is very beneficial for the actual introvert. You get time to sort out your time and thoughts at your own pace in you own space.
