Confessions of an Introvert via LaurieJStone
And yet so many times, I tell them I have other plans. They nod in understanding, never suspecting these other plans usually involve reading or watching TV…by myself.
Now, I have to say at this point, being introverted doesn’t mean I’m anti-social. I love and need my family and friends. I like to get rowdy and the rare times I go to Randy’s gigs, I’m one of the first on the dance floor. If something bugs me, I speak up. I used to think something was wrong with me. In my younger days, colleagues would go out after work for drinks or bowling or shopping. On paper, it sounded fun, but just thinking about it left me drained. On the other hand, going home and cracking open the diary of Anais Nin or Amy Tan’s latest novel was energizing.
Phew, I thought. This was the best news since hearing chocolate contained antioxidants. I’m still weird, but at least my weirdness has a name.
