I'm just slightly introverted.
Yes, I do enjoy people's company; but only those I'm comfortable with.
No, I do not hate interaction. I appreciate you starting a conversation with me.
Yes, I like to have my alone time as well. It's when I recharge m...
As an introvert, one thing I am most concerned about when I leave the house to go anywhere at all is:
being seen in public
By just anybody at all. When I am out doing grocery shopping with my parents or alone, I fear meeting people i know. Because i'm a human being who is forever tired and incapable of proper speech if I am not prepared.
I'm just too lazy to have small talk about "Oh what a coincidence to be meeting you here!". It's so tiring! Don't people get tired from it?
So when I do happen to meet anybody i know, I go into full incognito mode.

I would go to a different aisle, walk a different direction, or just put on my best disguise like the picture above.
This is also why I'm lowkey fine with all the mask-wearing due to the Covid-19. Not only can I lower the risk of being recognised by people I know, I can also hide my ugly face.
It's a win-win, don'tcha think?
Speaking of ugly faces, this is another reason I absolutely feel SO draggy about leaving my house.
Because my natural face is pretty much a disaster, so if I have to even step out of my house, I have to touch up my face a bit with a little make-up.
This is for a 'just-in-case' I do meet people and I am forced to converse with them, at least I don't look like I just escaped from the stone age or something.

(I look forever sleepy most of the time due to my permanent eye bags and dark eye circles)
But sometimes (no, make that most of the times) my laziness overwhelms me and I just yolo and proceed to leave the house without bothering about my appearance at all. I go out wearing my lamest home trash clothes, with unwashed, greasy hair and acne-filled face.
And believe me, those times, chances of meeting a person I know is 100%.
I am not even doubtful about it. It has happened every. single. damn. time, that I can confidently make that statement.
WITHOUT FAIL. The worse I look, the greater the chances of meeting someone. Why does this happen? Is there some kind of scientific explanation to this? Please enlighten me.
One thing, meeting a person I know is already bad enough. But hear me out: What if it's a person your parents know?
It's even worse!
Cause they will stand there for hours (maybe months) and keep talking like the day never ends. Why do parents do that? What do they even talk about that they have to stand there like they own the mall and take up so much time?
The thing is, the longer they spend to talk and discuss about the past, present, future or whatever, the longer I would be standing there and more people whom I know would see me! Is this clear? Am I making any sense?

...probably not, I am an odd being.
To any of my friends reading this, I apologise if I had very obviously avoided you in the mall or anywhere. I was probably having a terrible face day or had 0 social energy left.
