Extroverts meet Introverts.

     I myself being an introvert know what it is like to be constantly asked the questions, "Are you okay?" "Are you depressed?" "Are you Anti-Social?" "Why are you so quiet?". It is no bed of roses I know. (I never understood that term wouldn't the thorns from the roses hurt?) Anyways. Introverts are 1/3 of the population so that means you guessed it. The rest are Extroverts the loud people that everyone wants to be around that everyone wants to know that is just the life of the party!! But then there is you (and me) the quiet one that will run to the bathroom just to hide out or lie about a relative being sick because you just want out of there. I have dealt with this myself.... Once when I was at a party I was freaking out because the only two people I knew were off talking to their other friends and I had just been left with a bunch of people I didn't know. So to escape I said I was going to the bathroom then hopped out the bathroom window and left. Not the best idea but I got away. As I was saying all of these questions asking what is wrong with you are normally asked by your good friend the Extrovert because they don't understand why you don't want to join in on the meaningless chit-chat and why you are just watching everyone like a psychopath. Then you try to explain and they are in the greatest stage of what the actual  heck is happening they have ever been in in their whole existence. The reason they think something is wrong is because that makes no sense to them why you would want to be alone, because they feel recharged and so ALIVE when they are surrounded by people. While you would rather make up the excuse that your mother's sister's daughter's best friend's nephew's goldfish's pet rock just died and there is going to be funeral on the night of the party so you can't go. Because  introverts can only stand so much stimulation and it just tires them out and they want to go home and have a pamper evening, read a good book, watch countless episodes (or seasons) of  Dr.Who, or watch all of the Lord of the Rings movies. Introverts want to be alone. They NEED to be alone.
