SOMETIMES NATURALLY INTROVERT PEOPLE HAVE TO TRY AND PUSH THEMSELVES TO DO SOCIAL THINGS. THEIR TENDENCY IS OFTEN TO BE SOCIABLE, BECAUSE THEY HAVE SOME CONTROL, THE INTERACTION IS SHORT IN PASSING, OR FOR A PURPOSE. THEY CAN FOCUS THE CONVERSATION ON THE OTHER PERSON, BUT NOT STAY LONG ENOUGH TO HAVE EXPOSE THEMSELVES. ITS ALL TOO EASY TO MAKE EXCUSES THAT YOU WONT BE MISSED, OR YOU WILL HAVE NOTHING TO CONTRIBUTE. HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS ARE IMPORTANT, AND WE NEED TO BE OPEN THAT SOMETHING LIFE CHANGING MIGHT HAPPEN ON ONE OF THESE OCCASIONS, FOR YOU OR SOMEONE YOU MEET. LET OTHERS GET TO KNOW YOU BY LETTING THEM HAVE A GLIMPSE OF YOUR INNER WORLD, OTHERWISE YOU CANT BE SURPRISED IF PEOPLE MAKE FALSE ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT YOU, AND THE HAND OF FRIENDSHIP GETS EXTENDED LESS AND LESS OFTEN..... But from the very start, there is that small streak of steel within each child. That thing that says I am, and forms the core of personality. In the second year, the bone hardens and the child stands upright, skull wide and solid, a helmet protecting the softness within. And I am grows, too. Looking at them, you can almost see it, sturdy as heartwood, glowing through the translucent flesh. The bones of the face emerge at six, and the soul within is fixed at seven. The process of encapsulation goes on, to reach its peak in the glossy shell of adolescence, when all softness then is hidden under the nacreous layers of the multiple new personalities that teenagers try on to guard themselves. In the next years, the hardening spreads from the center, as one finds and fixes the facets of the soul, until I am is set, delicate and detailed as an insect in amber.” ― Diana Gabaldon, “In an extroverted society, the difference between an introvert and an extrovert is that an introvert is often unconsciously deemed guilty until proven innocent.” ― Criss Jami “Ive been accused my whole life of being too sensitive. This actually kind of pisses me off, but maybe thats just because Im too sensitive.” ― Sophia Dembling
