Tales For The Broken

Being an introvert

First off if you don't know what an introvert is let me tell you. There's two kinds of people introverts and extroverts. Extroverts get there energy from being around people that's not to say they don't like being alone they might but they are more comfortable with other people. Introverts get there energy from being alone that's not to say they don't like being social it's just very draining and can only do it for so long.
So I'm an introvert. I know it's hard to believe but it's true. I love hanging out with my fellow introverts because we can talk about anything like anything even weird dreams about Asian people cough *dilhowelter07 *cough. To anyone other people then me and her that may seem racist and but its not a promise. There is nothing wrong with Asian people they are perfectly valid.
The last few days are a perfect example of me being an introvert. Three days ago my mum saw a friend from our neighborhood. My mum being an extrovert and totally oblivious to me being an introvert invited her friend from the neighborhoods granddaughter to come and hand out with me. Yay! Is what I would say if I was not socially awkward or an introvert. But me being me I stared to walk away so my mum had to follow. So when we got home I had locked myself in my room with my iPod, iPod charger, ear buds blasting Panic! At The Disco, and vanilla wafers. I was set I had everything I needed.
Then...
The doorbell rang. I absolutely hate it when people come by to hang out without warning. I have no time to prepare emotionally and no time to do my hair or anything. So my mum calls me out of my room and I see Nyah. The person my mum saw at the stores grand daughter that was coming up from California for the summer. My mum then says
"This is Nyah the girl you used to hang out with when u were 8"
So I say not wanting to make her feel bad,
"Hi, I remember you," I did not really remember her but the more I looked at her face a saw the similarities from the younger her and memories of good times came back. Thinking that it would be fun to hang out with her again I calmed down a bit I was about to say maybe we can hang out later because you know I was set for eating my pain in vanilla wafers and blasting P!ATD when my mum says seeing her bike,
"Why don't you go get your bike and you two could ride around together," so I try to think of an excuse but before I can say anything mum is going outside with Nyah and her aunt. So I check my hair and get my bike and we ride around. I soon figure out that Nyah is nothing like me. Boys fall head over heels for her she is popular but not the annoying kind the kind of popular that deserves what they have, she has lots of friends, not awkward, and this is the bad one the others are ok because that makes her really easy to talk to and I don't have to work so hard so it does not drain as much energy but it still does, she in an EXTROVERT. After a while of talking and riding around I'm ready to go back to my original plans so I make up an excuse that I'm hot and go inside and she goes home. Two days later I was final ready for more social interaction. It literally took me two days to recover. So Nyah is an amazing person and love to hang out with her she just does not understand my struggle as an introvert. I hung out with her today and we talked and rode out bikes for about two hours. When it was time for me to go home and recharge for another two days she had to leave for her brothers birthday party I got so lucky. And tomorrow I have another hang out with one of my friends that moved away witch will be so much fun but again I made this friend when I was an extrovert and she never grew out of that faze. Again I love this person to death and love to hang out with her but I'm just such an introvert it sucks. She's spending the night that's 3 days of social interaction I don't think I can handle that. Wish me luck. Love you all <3
