How to Shut Up: A Guide for Extroverts, by Introverts is the hilariously irreverent manual you never knew you needed. Tired of blank stares and polite nods when you launch into your latest long-winded story? Wondering why silence sends you into a panic while your introverted friends bask in its glorious quiet? Look no further.

Written by a band of introverts who would rather contemplate the meaning of life than hear about your last brunch, this book dishes out a snarky blend of tough love and actual tips on everything from noticing social cues to embracing the art of the pause.

Inside, you'll learn:

Why talking incessantly isn't the same as being interesting
Why not every room needs your personal confetti cannon
How silence can be a secret weapon instead of your arch-nemesis
Whether you're the life of the party or that friend whose party invites perpetually get "lost," these pages serve as your comedic road map to becoming a more balanced conversationalist. Packed with sarcasm, surprising empathy, and real-world advice, "How to Shut Up" shows you how to do the unthinkable: talk less, listen more, and (gasp) enjoy the quiet.

Violet's Delight by lyazar

"Well then. That's the first time a girl has ever rejected my close proximity," he said, eyes ablaze with a playful fire. "You better get used to it," I retorted as I spun on my heel and headed for the school doors that led to the outside. "I've never met anyone like you before," he called after me, this time, not coming after me. "I know, Romeo. I'm a special little snowflake," I called back, not turning around. "You got the 'little' part right there, Princess!" he shouted after me. I threw up my middle finger back to him and heard him laugh as I exited out the doors rather dramatically. ... I'm tired of all those high school stories about a straight-A girl student with the perfect life who falls for the stereotypical Mr. Bad Boy who wears leather black jackets and only has a soft spot for her. That's not how the real world works, sweetheart. I may look like a damsel, but I'm never in distress. ... Not me making fun of the "she's not like every other girl" trope <3 o.o :)) I like to think I'm funny. After all: #3 in amusement 10/22/22 #1 in banter 10/31/22 #3 in friendship 11/7/22

Unwanted- COMPLETED ✔ (EDITING) by Kenopsia5

"Do you really love me?" What happens when an introverted girl meets one of the most popular guys in school? Nothing good, let me tell you that. She's bullied, has a messed up past but, what about this cool new guy she meets? Will he be any different from her or will he be just another jerk that makes her life a living hell? It's just some things can't be kept secret. But this, this her story of how everything changes. Her life will never be the same. A/N Everything is just weird in the beginning so please just bare with me here, it will improve as you go along. It's so kind of obvious that I was a beginner when I started this so I never knew what POV to put it in. Also, this is the new description I made for this, hope it's less cringey. Prepare for a unusual, confusingly cheesy since I wrote it, twist ending. Tbh, I don't think I will edit any time soon, lol. Adios beautiful people! XOXO

The Silent Melody by KallieAndrews16

The world is loud. There are those who make no sound. Billions of people on the planet, some make no sound, some hear no sounds, and some don't see what's making the sound. Humans take their voice for granted, they don't realize what it's like not to be able to say what you're thinking. Humans don't realize what it's like not to be able to listen to the world. They don't realize what it's like not to be able to look at the stars and see the beauty in the sky. I can see, I can hear, but what I can't do is speak for myself. My own silence is deafening. *Pardon my word choice.* I've never been able to speak, as soon as I was able I was sent to learn ASL (American Sign Language). I was then sent to regular public school and I love it, the sounds of the students talking. Being able to be a regular person, well, as close to regular as I can be without talking. My name is Rosalyn, I've never breathed a word. Silence is easy when all you can give are ASL signs and not many people understand them. I'm just like everyone else. I have a celebrity crush. I have a favorite book (It's Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen). I have a favorite color (It's a silvery blue). I have a story to tell just like you. I get made fun of because I can't speak. People yell at me thinking that because I'm mute I'm also deaf. This is my silent melody, the song of my soul.

Adoring Austin | ✓ by ifunnybruh

(Book 1) #120 in Teen Fiction Suddenly an awkward silence took over the room and we were like magnets, attracted to the sudden beauty of the of the purple marble floor. ''I really like you. Actually I've liked you for a very long time.'' Did he just say 'for a very long time' ? Da hell, I just met him a few months ago. *** Hate.Hate.Hate. 'Hate was all that I had for him and I promised myself that I would never fall for him or someone like him again' You call these type of people 'players' Meet Arianna Byrnes. She isn't your average everyday model that consumes most of her time in facial massages and manicure. She's one hell of a dare-devil that occasionally she crosses paths with Austin Parker. Austin Parker. Now where do we start ? The type of person that believes in 'making love' rather than 'falling in love'. Takes girls. Uses them. Disposes them off. But when he sets his eyes upon Arianna, what will come out of it ? And most importantly when he figures that they have a rich history ? Follow Arianna and her sarcastic, yet wonderful conscience on the journey of finding love after she lost all hopes of it. *********(My writing is bad in the beginning but it occasionally improves)********* |•| Having shared a unique and memorable past, will they come to put together the puzzle pieces ?

Talking Serenity (Completed) by cunningbird

This book conveys philosophy and values for modern issues that undermine today's generation world and their inner voices atmosphere, combined with spices of solitude, cognitions and emotions from a young man that he tries to communicate regarding all its aftermaths and possibilities. Including compendium about daily basis and collisions that he saw through many eyes and theatrical society, which he hopes can become a good reference for those who seek a place for serenity and assessment in a world where life requires everyone to find common sense and confine many voices of speculation. Each chapter in this book possesses a small fraction about his life, which leads to one question...what kind of person he is?. Why is "Talking Serenity" worth reading? 1. Ins and outs of the Modern World's Atmosphere The male character/figure that is told in this writing has a lifestyle background that likes to be alone (Introvert), who loves to observe human relations and tends to be traditional in establishing closeness with other people in his modern world. However, as time progressed, what he had inside of him slowly became worry and indecision in the eyes of many people. The increasing inner confusion of his generation that surrounds his steps in the modern world, of course, is not something that is easily ignored by him as a human being who still acquires traditional values in his soul. 2. Nurturing Culture This writing attaches various possibilities and probabilities to an event in the future when the generation of humans who reign/control today's world do not have good competence, cognition and emotional stability in setting boundaries, respecting and appreciating. The presence of traumatic personal experiences and several clauses related to culture that have been passed down from previous generations, of course, can support the importance of discussing this theme.

Why We Laugh (#Wattys2018) by CarpeDiemWrite

"The laugh cracked loudly into the school's atrium, like a shot of a gun. A quick bullet. A deadly bullet the pierces through flesh and bone. I realized then... that a laugh was as lethal as a bullet." I thought bullying didn't exist. And if it did, I wasn't a bully. Except I was. We all were. Not because we beat kids up. Or we called people freaks. Or gave them swirlies. Because we never did that. It was because we laughed." For these three kids, a playful laugh cuts deeper than a fist ever would. And the worst part is...they laugh along. 1.Eliza hides behind the brightest smile and stuttered words. 2.Reece desires the perfect body and will destroy himself to do it. 3.Hunter is the bad boy with sick suicidal jokes, screwing both Prozac and girls. But it is more than just those three: 4.London sits in her wheelchair trying to be normal 5. Ashton needs to return to the surface of people and stop cowering in the digital world 6. Griffith hides his autistic emotions. The story is told by a girl who always laughs. Drama, love, pain, tears, laughter, depression, weaknesses. We all laugh. But what does our laugh truly effect? "Hands down this is the best book I've read on wattpad. I don't even know what to say. I mean... I just.... Wow." -Irxdeo This book deals with heavy topics such as depression, suicide, eating disorders, abuse, so read carefully. I want to say some of these characters and scenes in the beginning are based on real people and real events, but some are not. Hi, guys! Thanks for checking this story out. Remember be brave and kind.

Hearts of Gold by Myth4Them

Zea Alaina James is your average twenty-three year old- besides maybe the fact that she'd rather stay quiet, stay out of the way, and stay absolutely all to herself. Your average introvert if you will. Jonah Benjamin Hayes is your average twenty-five year old- besides the fact that he can and will have and hold a conversation with literally almost anybody and won't bother talking the ear off to anybody willing to listen. Your average extrovert if you will. One thing about Zea- she doesn't like to talk much. For a reason. One thing about Jonah- you couldn't get him to shut up. Nothing, not even his constant stutter that sometimes trips him up at times, is enough to stop him from trying to make someone's day simply by trying to have a conversation with them. What happens when these two worlds collide? Do they have more in common then most would think? Or will they allow life to drift them apart from one another over time? Read to find outtttttt Ps I SUCKKKKK at summaries.
