anti-social friendship introvert nonfiction school shyness

If you're one of the quiet kids, and you like it that way, then you're not alone.

So, what even is an introvert, you ask?  Most of you probably heard this word at least once before. My guess is that if you have heard the word introvert, you may have heard it used to describe someone in a negative way. You might know an introvert as someone who is quieter or not as outgoing, but there is a little more to it than that. 

People often mistake introversion as shyness, social anxiety, or a mental illness, but introversion is actually none of these things. It is simply a personality trait. 

You can be an introvert and still be a happy, confident person. A lot of well-known people were introverts, like Einstein, Abe Lincoln, Eleanor Roosevelt, Rosa Parks, and even Lady Gaga (Yes, I said Lady Gaga). 

This book focuses on what my experiences as an introvert have been so far, and the positives of being an introvert. It also gets into some psychology and mental health. Coming from a shy person, I also hope to talk about how to deal with shyness and build self confidence, even though being shy and introverted aren't exactly the same thing. So come join the party!

*Ahem* Sorry. I meant to say, come join the small, quiet gathering.All Rights Reserved

A New Beginning by Incrediblefangirl1

Introverts, I call out to you: This book is about Athena, the nerdiest of introverts. However, like everyone she was hit by the curse of falling in love. Unable to manage her feelings, she can't hold it anymore. What to do? She fell in love with her best friend, James but...her rival is only perfection itself. How to beat a perfect extrovert magnificent person? Not a single flaw compared to us, introverts. Bree is perfect. Who in the world would choose a flawed but unique introvert rather than a goddess, a princess who is just perfection? This is the first book of an amazing sequel. It will bring you back to the reality of how hard life as an introvert is. Hard but breathtaking at the same time.Each and every introvert is unique in their own way, not all of us react or act the same way but we're not as cold-hearted as people think we are. We have feelings too... Athena is exactly like a secondary character in movies or books. The kind of character we despise or that we don't pay much attention to. Bree and James are usually the protagonists. The lead character, the prince and the gay friend, who apparently has no other life than be devoted to the lead! A typical classic combination often found in romantic movies and books. This case is different, it's from a different perspective, from the point of view which is an outsider of this original combination. The feelings of this secondary character, her events, her point of views. I hope that you'll be able to allow Athena and sometimes James to express themselves. Worth a try, don't you think?

Destined to be Together by lonely_lucifer31

Being a loved one isn't that difficult, is it? Some people believe it's easy. Ironically, many do not know how it feels to have people around who care for them. Some people grow up accepting the cruel world around them, forcing them to show off a tough personality and acting harsh as well. These people are often considered 'heartless' even though they might not be. While some find out reasons to be happy in every possible situation. Making new friends, ready to face challenges with a smile but not a frown and trying to understand others' problems is a small part of their personalities. Everyone in this world deserves someone with whom they can forget the rest of the world around them. It can be your family, your friends or maybe someone more than a friend... But can a cold and arrogant person ever receive any kind of affection? When a mysterious person, known by no one, starts getting attention from a transfer student, where would this lead the story? What would be the identity of this mysterious person? Trapped in a troublesome friendship, will they realize their love for each other? A simple and sweet love story of two souls, completely different from each other. Where would their destiny lead them?

lost souls: rain, stars, and iced coffee by anotherneurotic

Does anyone remember how anything begins? Or how anything ends? For every story, every song, every movie has a beginning to an end and an end to a beginning, but what about the rest? What about prior to the beginning or after the end, and everything in between? No one cares about that, I guess. Everyone just wants to know how what begins and how what ends; the rest is history. The rest is nothing and everything at the same time, because those who want to see, want to feel, breathe in it all--they are the lost souls in the world. They are lost, searching, needing, and craving souls. They are you and they are me. Lost in this world of collateral damage, hoping to be rescued. Searching for what can rescue them, whether that be a person or a drug or a hobby. Needing whatever it is soon because they have drowned and they are six feet under, floating in alcohol and seizing due to heroin and crying because of a him or a her. And craving--craving to die and to live all at once, for they know life is a beautiful disaster and they know about the good and the evil in this world; it has hurt them, numbed them, and misplaced them. But maybe, all they need to do--what every one of us needs to do--is stop whatever it is we're doing. Stop searching. Stop needing. Stop craving. And be. Just be. warning: a majority of this work will be in lower case on purpose

Anomalies ✔ by whoscountinganyway

"I am the textbook definition of in love with you." *** Castor Rex: He's snarky, quiet and mysterious. A secret keeper. He doesn't like his life to be on display. People avoid him, even if they respect him. Jasper Red: He's polite, nice and helpful. A open book. He likes filling his life with other people and their love. People love him, they can't help it. Because of his quiet nature, snarky smirks and sarcastic words Castor has always had a hard time when it came to making friends -and keeping them. Something Jazz doesn't struggle with. With Jazz's protective nature, shyness and many friends he doesn't need someone else to fill a spot in his life -at least, that's what he thought. Then they met. And that empty part in Jazz's heart felt a little bit bigger because he started to realize Cas could fill it. Cas sees him as a grinning, happy dork he has no chance with. Jazz sees him as a adorable, grumpy jock that now, is his. Castor wants to get through the school year as quietly as possible but with how loud Jazz loves, neither of them know if it's possible, and to make matters worse they're roommates for the rest of the year. It's only a matter of time before they come together or fall apart. *** As a private person, someone who doesn't share myself with others, I can say that learning how to interact with others is difficult. It's like baking, almost, you have to mix the right ingredients together, and if you add the wrong ones things can taste hideous even if they look good. It's a lot like our words. But I've mastered how to tell someone just a little about myself but doing it in a way that makes the person in front of me think they know a lot. Jasper, somehow, sees through this every fucking time and it's absolutely infuriating. He's never satisfied with just a little of me, with my hidden truth, and it's the most annoying thing I've ever experienced. *** @STESLARA made the second POV in her book 'Jasper Red's Anomaly'

Life SUCKS. by Chichidera

"Treasure what're you doing awake by this time". I heard my mum voice trailing behind. I shivered,I knew perfectly the rules of not being awake by this time. I would only get scolded at and maybe my phone seized. But it's not really my fault for wanting a distraction from my messy life. I just couldn't take it anymore,I was tired of thinking of my life I was tired of blaming God for the circumstances before me. Sometimes I feel like a burden and sometimes I wished I was never born. Life is cruel and learning from you mistakes doesn't count anymore. I have been told about how things would be fine by my mates. Encouraging words to keep me going, but it's simply not working. I would have committed suicide but I don't want to put my mum through that pain. She is my most favorite person in the universe. "Tress I'm talking to you. What are you doing awake?" I could feel my mum presence right behind me and dare not move. "Mum I just woke up and was just scrolling through Facebook sorry". I said after waking up from my trance. "You know the rules,no phones at night. Don't make me believe you have a boyfriend. Goodnight and put off that phone. Mum loves you. Goodnight Tress". "Goodnight Mum,sorry for breaking the rules. It won't happen again. I love you too". I smiled at her and watched her leave. I was actually texting my boyfriend.. Thank goodness he didn't call tho. That was really close, didn't want my mum to worry about me....

Side By Side by Roseismy

As I gaze up at the night sky, the stars and the moon seem to be near, as if they are within arm's reach. However, the reality is that they are separated by vast distances, much like many things in life. The truth can sometimes be elusive, and it can be challenging to discern what is truly close to us. I can't describe the feeling of being alone, but I can show you. It's like the world we are always with people around us, no matter what we do. Yet the tiniest feeling of loneliness lingers. Are we that far apart, or maybe we are just like the stars trying to reach a moon, yet never coming close enough? I wish this was all so easy, but I know that even the biggest things are always hard to find. The journey of friendship is like a never-ending circle, yet it can come to an end in one fell swoop. I kept looking for my moon, yet it was always staring right at me, shining and showing me the way through these dark days. I'm barely a star, yet the moon warms my heart.

Villain Enchantress (Discontinued) by HiganbanaUbald0

No one has ever truly accepted me my whole life... My mom always advised me to be myself, be friendly, smile at people, and have confidence. I've tried so hard to follow her advice to make friends, but I've always been seen as attention-seeking, an outsider to friend groups, someone irrelevant to their lives. It's like no one even sees me. I've been experiencing a lot of stress and anxiety lately, especially now that I'm in my 30s. I'm single, living far from my family, without friends, feeling lonely, and overwhelmed with work. Sometimes, I worry that I'll be alone forever, without any meaningful relationships. It's tough being in this situation, feeling like a sad woman living alone in my small, nasty apartment. On my day off, I always find solace in playing my favorite game, 'Everlasting Power from the Heart'. It's my go-to for cheering up. However, after a meteor crashed down on me, I've been reincarnated as one of the characters from that intense otome game I used to play. Out of all the characters in the game, why do I have to be the villainess?! Reagan, who has no fate but to be the brattiest b*tch of the game!! F*ck it!! Does God really hate me that much, that my life has no purpose but to die being alone?? Why do I have to be treated this way?...

Behind every mean girl...there's a tragedy by Winchesters_united

The average human being spends every second of his day fighting against the force of nature to see another day. But I'm different. I'm not afraid of outside forces to take my life away - only myself. Approximately 10 years ago, something happened to me. Something really bad. But I'm not allowed to talk about it. As a way to release my frustration, I give hell to my body and everyone I come in contact with - especially my parents. No one knows about what happened except the ones who did it...and Him. But he didn't stay. Now, he's back and he's not talking either. I want to stop hurting, I need to stop. Make me stop.

Pinwheels and Dandelions by cjacks1124

I was kicked around like trash on the streets. I was the book that nobody could understand or read, but without a care, they were quick to rip out the pages. I screamed for attention, but time after time, I was ignored. Nobody noticed me, so I made myself at home in my own shadow. They say there's light at the end of the tunnel -- I searched and searched for it, but it could never be found. Therefore, I lost hope as I hid in the shade and endured what seemed like everlasting pain. The little hope I did have was snatched from my arms. My baby brother was my life, and they took my glimpse of hope away. Home. Is that a word? Maybe for a family of some kind, but for me, I never had a place to call home. I moved from place to place. Unstable foster care, fighting for my life in group homes, barely surviving in detention centers, and running away from being mistreated as I made many benches my temporary home. The only thing that I was familiar with was a black plastic bag containing my dirty rags. I am too young to know what it feels like to survive. These are the cards life has dealt me and I am not meant to win; however, I easily lose without trying. It is hard for me to find peace. I am paying for my mother's reckless actions. I am trapped in a world where the sun has died because I am unable to feel love. I am unable to dream. Sorrow is my aura, and the sadness hugs me. My eyes are closed shut by the barbed wire fence from my eyelashes as they prohibit tears from falling. I am damaged. When will the morning come? Did the sun put up a fight last night, like I do every single day? If I can survive the day, I know the sun isn't dead. One day, I will awake to a glorious sunrise. Until then, I hope my brother keeps blowing his pinwheel, and I will keep making wishes with every dandelion I come across. For now, all I know is that everything was taken from me, and the only thing I own is my name.
