Introverts are always misjudged
People think that we hate everyone
Or that we are just depressed inside
It never crossed their mind that we just might not want to socialize
I feel like being an introvert is more complicated than being an extrovert
Because you can’t explain it
Sometimes I feel like I can socialize for hours
Then I actually have to socialize
My family calls it a battery
When the battery is full you can socialize
When it is low you really just want to go home
And it is hard sometimes
When you have friends who don’t get what it is like
I love my friends
I do it’s just that…
They expect me to be happy and smiley all the time
And they expect me to wanted to know everyone’s birthdays and names
I don’t!
I couldn’t care less about those people
And it isn’t just the people you know
It is the world
They show they bright and happy people as the good guys
And they closed off and antisocial people as the bad guys
The world wants everyone to know everyone
But not everyone is like that
And we don’t have to be
We can have our me time
We can just stay inside all day if we want
And if people don’t like that
Or if they don’t understand it
Then that is their problem not ours
Because we shouldn’t have to change ourselves for others
We shouldn’t have to do things that we don’t find fun
We should be able to be our introverted selves
And people should learn to love us for it
