SKGfun Fantasy Edition (May/June)

For some of us introverts, writing out what we feel and believe is easier than putting it into
words out loud. I can do both pretty easily, but I think that’s more of my social
introvertedness coming out. Writing is a way of communicating but without the added stress of
stuttering and slurring your words, and just making a fool of yourself sometimes! And often
enough, if you write creatively, it will sound more poetic and beautiful than it would if you
were just talking. A lot of the writers that classify themselves as introverts (aka me) LOVE
to incorporate large words and all sorts of fancy things into their work. It makes us seem
more "out there" when we really aren’t.
Another quality a majority of us seem to share is that we get overwhelmed easily; like if we
are in a noisy place for a little too long, or if we happen to be in a crowd and someone
bumps into us. It makes us realize what situation we’re in, and our brains just say "NOPE,
I’m done. Take me home." Then we begin to get overwhelmed.
Sometimes (I know I do this a lot), we get so overwhelmed that we begin to lose focus and
shut down. We’ll do close to anything to get out of the uncomfortable situation. If we are in
a large crowd, than we will push through it as fast as we can to get out. And if you’re like
me, you’ll use about ten bottles of sanitizer afterwards!
Another really mutual quality about us introverted folk is that we generally only have a few
close friends, maybe two or three that we really confide in. Sure, we can have a ton of
friends, but we have a select few that are the ones we go to the most. They could honestly
probably write a book on us. We don’t like everyone knowing our entire life story, so we
tend to keep our mouths shut around others.
