Introversion

Most would think I am an extrovert because I'm outgoing and I can be as social as the next person. I talk a lot and I can be friendly and make new friends that will stay with me the rest of the night and can't wait to  exchange phone numbers so we can meet up and do this again soon. 

Unfortuenly what they don't know or understand is that I'm an introvert that loves to be alone, can't wait to have peace and quiet just to read, write or do some much-needed thinking. As much as I may enjoy a good party and being around a large group of people at times, all that takes a lot out of me and drains me. It takes me some time to come home and de-escalate from all that fun. I had a great time but, I have an even better time alone or around just a few people. Intimate parties of a few are more of my style. Quiet times with the people I love is even better and one on one time with a someone special outside of my me time is the greatest.

People don't always understand that being alone is not a sign of sadness, depression, or loneliness for an introvert it is one of the happiest times I have. It gives me time to do all the things I need to like refresh and recharge so I can be the person that I am to the world around me. 

Don't take my behavior as a problem or issue because I  just choose to spend more time alone than the average person. That’s why I am an introvert and I  thrill the world because of my internal behavior.

Introversion

I’m not really sure at what point I became such an introvert. I’ve always valued my quiet time, but over the last couple of years it’s become much more… is ‘severe’ the word?

I love my friends. I love hanging out with my friends, but I really only seem able to do this for short lengths of time. I start out happy as Larry, but after a couple of hours it’s like all of my positive energy is used up. I end up feeling really socially awkward and not really knowing how to interact. I feel tired and anxious and the desire to get away and back to the safety of my room is like a magnet growing stronger and stronger until I have to leave. I am usually one of the first to leave. Really loud spaces make it impossible to home into one specific sound or conversation because there's just too much. Being in crowded places makes me stressed. I fall further into myself and live the old cliché of feeling alone in a crowd, and often end up sinking back into uncomfortable, heavy, depressed Kates. Usually the only remedy is sleep.

I don’t know when or how this happened. I used to go out all the time. I used to be fine and dandy with big groups of people, with pubs and even with clubs. I sometimes wonder if it’s an age thing, but not everyone seems to be going through this. I wonder if it might, deep in my subconscious somewhere, be linked to the number of people who have walked away from me. Partners, friends. Maybe it’s because I seem to have a different friendship group every year because I move around so much and never get the chance to settle. Maybe I’m just boring.

I mostly just want to settle down and lead a quiet life. I want nothing more than to feel settled and comfortable.

Character twiddling If you type fast your fingers can easily get ahead of your mind. Frequently people transpose characters. For example the word "the" comes out "teh". To swap two characters, for example "e" with "h", put the cursor on the cursor on the "e" and type xp. The "x" command deletes a character (the "e") and the "p" pastes it after the cursor (which is now placed over the "h".)
