the number of times i think “i don’t care” while people are talking to me is really getting out of hand
meant to be
- teacher:where is your homework?
- me:whoa there! please wait an hour before asking any more questions.
- me in the morning:i'm tired don't look at me
- me at school:i'm tired don't touch me
- me after school:i'm tired don't talk to me
- me blogging at 3 in the morning:hey guys i have so much energy who wants to swim to africa and back?????
- night before school:i want to look attractive tomorrow
- morning of school:nevermind
- me:this is a bad idea and will only make me sad
- me:okay let's do it
"Studies have shown, that, indeed, introverts are more likely than extroverts to express intimate facts about themselves online that their family and friends would be surprised to read, to say that they can express the “real me” online, and to spend more time in certain kinds of online discussions. They welcome the chance to communicate digitally. The same person who would never raise his hand in a lecture hall of two hundred people might blog to two thousand, or two million, without thinking twice. The same person who finds it difficult to introduce himself to strangers might establish a presence online and then extend those relationships into the real world."

"Introverts, in contrast, may have strong social skills and enjoy parties and business meetings, but after a while wish they were home in their pajamas. They prefer to devote their social energies to close friends, colleagues, and family. They listen more than they talk, think before they speak, and often feel as if they express themselves better in writing than in conversation. They tend to dislike conflict. Many have a horror of small talk, but enjoy deep discussions."
—Susan Cain, Quiet (via framesjanco)
