Quirky

We all love our families, whether they’re strange, awkward, or extroverted. And it’s true that we don’t pick our families, especially in my case and the cases of many other. You see, I’m an introvert living amongst extroverts. And I’m not the only one who ended up in the exact same situation. Although statistically speaking, there are more introverts in this world than extroverts, the world is much louder than an introvert’s liking. While some introverts seek the quiet refuge of their houses from the loudness of outside, others try to seek the quietude anywhere else. The latter few do as such due to the fact that they live amongst their extroverted household and it’s not easy being the only introvert in your own not-so-empty home. So if you’d like to know how it feels like for an introvert to live with other extroverts or if you are searching for other people who share your struggle of living in such condition, then here are a couple of struggles for being the only introvert in an extroverted family.

“A house I pass on the way to work has this sculpture in its yard. Its about 8 feet tall.”

“NEIGHBOR STEVE, DO YOU NOT WISH TO PARTAKE OF THE UNCLEAN FLESH-MEATS OF PIGS AND THE POLLUTED ESSENCES OF TOMATO?  PERHAPS YOU ARE A CAROLINA STYLE MAN, NEIGHBOR STEVE?”

“PUT THE GUN AWAY NEIGHBOR STEVE, YOU KNOW I SHALL ONLY RISE AGAIN WITH THE DAWNING OF THE MOON.  WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH THIS MANY TIMES.”

“LOOK AT THIS PICTURE MY SON DREW OF YOU AND CHILD TIMMY, YOUR SON.  ARE THEY NOT THE PICTURE OF PACT-MATES?  THIS COULD BE YOU AND ME, NEIGHBOR STEVE.”

One time Steve tries throwing holy water but all Antler Guy does is thank him, saying that no, Antler Guy isn’t Catholic but it’s the thought that counts, he is so kind to water his creeping deathshade vines regardless.

For Christmas Antler Guy gives Steve a case of ammunition. To be funny/sarcastically mean Steve gets Antler Guy the world’s most hideous Christmas sweater, singing light-up reindeer included. He immediately regrets it because not only does Antler Guy love it and wears it for several months, it will never need batteries because Antler Guy powers it with his own eldritch aura.
