Is being Introverted Weird?!

I wouldn't say that I'm fully introverted. Though, I wouldn't say that I am nearly enthusiastic enough to be called  extroverted. I think I am closer to being introverted than extroverted. A strange concept right? To be both introverted and extroverted...

I recently read an article/blog post about the ten myths of being an introvert. It's quite interesting to read, because I related to a lot of these "myths". It's nice to know that I am not a freak of nature for liking alone time.

It talked about introverts not liking people. Which most definitely is not true. It said that introverts take their friendships very seriously.... which is so true I cannot even state that enough about my own life.

Here's a little fact about me. I am not good at making friends. Let me rephrase. I am not good at keeping friends. I have a lot of acquaintances, I can't count how many acquaintances I have. But friends. I can barely count how many friends I have on one hand. Which really sucks. Because even introverts need friends.

Let me just tell you, the fact that I have almost no friends really makes my parents flip. It makes me laugh how anxious they get because of this. I mean sure, it can be frustrating at times when you are sitting alone, talking... typing... to a computer. It is just a feeling I am used to. The feeling of being alone.

A lot of the people I know would hate that sentence. The feeling of being alone. I don't think they could handle it. Being alone.

I've not only gotten used to the feeling of alone-ness, I have grown to like being alone.

It can be great. You can burp, fart, whatever in peace without being embarrassed or feel awkward. I mean, you don't have to talk... that's great!

Now some of the people I know, would absolutely hate not having to talk. Because there are certain people who love to talk. LOVE it. I unfortunately for my friends and family, am not one of them.


I love to write though, I could write to you all day.

I just feel like people think that being introverted is being socailly awkard, which in todays society isn't cool.

I just want to say, Its okay to be socailly weird. I'm socially weird, introverted-- let's be friends :)


Godspeed, friend. <3
