introvert.

quiet. boring. uninterested. disconnected. all words people think when describing an introvert. if you only knew. being quiet allows me to be comforted with myself and my own thoughts. i don’t have to talk to be connected. i am always analyzing from a distance. my words are in my head. maybe it takes time but i am always paying attention. i am misunderstood. seen as being boring or disconnected, i have to apologize for being me. my social battery is drained. i prefer to be at ease with my own mind and thoughts. being alone is okay. sometimes it gets hard but i know i am okay. seeking validation in other people is a bad trait of mine…
