An Introvert’s Thoughts

I am a friend of convenience. I’m the person you do not contact for friendly outings but the first you call on for favors. I am the person you talk to when you find yourself alone because your usual company is absent. I am the person you sit next to in a class of unfamiliar faces but the person you walk past in the halls. I am the person you ask for advice and reassurance but the recipient of unanswered messages and calls. My struggles give you comfort while my accomplishments are the cause for scorn. And when you tire of my friendship- I fade into the background until you need to use me once more.
