SHHH

At school you might have been prodded to “come out of your shell” -that noxious expression which fails to appreciate that some animals naturally carry shelter everywhere they go, and that some humans are just the same.

If you’re an introvert, you also know that the bias against quiet can cause deep psychic pain.

Extroversion is an enormously appealing personality style, but we’ve turned it into an oppressive standard to which most of us feel we must conform.

Introversion -along with its cousins sensitivity, seriousness and shyness- is now a second-class personality trait, somewhere between a disappointment and a pathology.

We’re told that to be great is to be bold, to be happy is to be sociable.

I don't like when someone is judging another person based on the rumor she hears and I know that person better so I'm like "He/She is really nice though." Then she goes all out to argue that the person is really like this or like that all the bs that has no basis. Then she was able to get to know him/her and realized how wrong she really is and now acts like she's closer to that person than she actually is. 🙄

When your parents get your hopes up so many times that you feel like not trusting them anymore.
