What Does It Feel Like To Be An Introvert?

when people think or assume I am rude-arrogant because of their failure to get the kind of reaction they had wanted from me in some context, just like people give upon for being completely nonreactive. I feel frustrated when I cannot explain to them, that just because I am unable to express something that I feel, doesn't mean that I don't feel it at all! The aftermath of my apparent coldness is that they stop telling me stuff because of the lack of excitement that they had anticipated.

because I don't enter every argument that I am invited to. I don't react to all the bullshit thrown at me. Instead, I find myself making a mental note never to get into that particular conversation again or to avoid that topic of discussion with that particular person, just to shun any foreseen dispute.

because I have many hidden personality traits that people don't know about. Just like when you tell someone you are an introvert, they'll presume you don't talk at all. But very few know that the truth!

when once in a while, out of the blue, someone understands and respects my way of speech and living. The bonding then reacts, resulting to form the very compatible relationship.

very few people understand my silence more than my words, the ones that know the facts will agree that it is irreplaceable.

And finally , I feel noble when I can empathize with other people more as a result of my introversion, since not only do I understand their words, but I also understand their silence.

PS : I believe I am a very good listener, it's an art :)

PSS : I have myriad of short comings as a mortal, I have my own defense system to tackle 'out of comfort zones' which many people don't agree with but that's ME. I try not to get in anyone's way but if it happens, we can safely assume it to be plain bad luck and try and live happily (ever after).
