Makes being able to chill at home with comics and 4chan seem less lame when people think you’re friendly.
But sometimes acting gets really tiring and I just want to revert back to the super quiet, bluntly honest weirdo I was growing up.
Maybe this is what being an introvert is…exerting all your energy into social interaction, then having to recharge in solitude. I just wish more people understood that it’s not easy for some people, that being able to flutter around getting along with people is not possible for everyone. I try so hard to connect with people, but it almost always blows up in my face. I joke around too much, I am too serious, too weird, too dark…it makes me want to become a hermit.
But I try, and I give it my all, but sometimes I just want a break. I just want someone to tell me they understand, someone that recognizes how much I struggle just to be able to communicate with people every day. I don’t want pity, I’m not quite as pathetic as I used to be, I honestly just want understanding.
