A Sicknasty Guide to Introverts

23:22

Top of the morning, besties! I'm finally getting my free time back! And today, I wanna share something unimportant to y'all! Yes, it's a guide to introverts, because what else can be more useful than that? Probably everything else that ever existed. So, without further ado, let us begin!

1. We need time to be alone and no, it's not that we don't like you, it's just we need to be alone.
2. Real world for us is the inner world of ideas, definitions, meaning, and understanding. The outside world, not so much.
3. We are the people of abstract thoughts, we are difficult to be understood because we are shy.
4. We are basically two personalities in one, we have private and public self. While the public tends to be more quiet and ignorant, the private one is the true one.
5. We are intense and passionate, but we also tend to bottle up emotions. Try to bear that in mind.
6. Our energy is drained by social activities and people, so we can't stay long enough, sorry.
7. We don't make a lot of friends, but we have a few besties. We're not anti-social, just picky.
8. We are quiet in large groups, as we are afraid of humiliation. So, don't expect us to talk much.
9. We can concentrate intensely for long periods, so please don't be upset if we are too focused on what we were doing.
10. We overthink EVERYTHING, also we need time to make decisions, so give us that time, okay?
11. We learn by observing, so you can shut yer mouth instead explaining things we don't really wanna hear.
12. Yes, we like to sit quietly. No, we're not judging people when we sit quietly. Yes, our heads are already full of ourselves.
13. If we say we're having fun, we are having fun even though it may not look like it to you. So stop asking.
14. If you want to hear about what we want to say, give us time to say it. We don't fight to be heard by other people, ain't nobody got time for that.
15. PLEASE UNDERSTAND OUR INTENSE DISLIKE OF TALKING ON THE PHONE OR ANSWERING THE DOOR. If you really need to call us, text us first.
16. We keep a lot to ourselves, because it's difficult to find someone who understands.
17. We are good listeners, though. So, just ask for it, we'll tell you when we have time.
18. But, please know this, we are often individualists, as we primarily looks inwards and know ourselves well.
19. WE CAN BE LOUD TOO IF IT'S JUST THE TWO OF US!
20. We can't stand small talk and bullcraps, but if you want to talk about life, we are your man.
21. And lastly, please respect that we are reserved.
