The Assertive Introvert. It's good reading. I'm an introvert, and I'm totally secure with that aspect of my personality now. For years, I've hated myself for being socially impotent. Now...after years and years of trying to become more active, it just hasn't been working for me. I can't just say things to people without preparation first. I fucking hate small talk because its such a waste of time. At parties, that's the only thing people do - small talk. Occasionally at a party, you'll meet that one person who you can have a productive deep conversation with - very very occasional it is. A person I talk to can't be this dumb piece of shit with the I.Q. of a brick wall; I can deal with that. I'd rather be alone listening to music than wasting time trying to have a meaningful conversation with someone like that. I love being alone, but that doesn't mean I'm anti-social; that doesn't mean I'm a weirdo. It just means being by myself energizes me, while being with lots of people exhaust the hell out of me. It sucks how I'm expected to be this highly interactive people-person everywhere I go. Fuck that. I'd rather sit in a chair and stair at a wall than go to a highly social event. Thinking is a lot more productive than speaking...when will you people understand that???
I don't need alcohol in order to have deep conversations, but I need it in order to have those stupid meaningless stupid small chit chat conversations. That's really the only reason I would drink alcohol at parties. No other reason. It's just another form of peer pressure. It's always peer pressure. That's the only reason I ever participate in unnecessary social activities that puts me in a room with stupid people. Otherwise, hanging out with stupid people is just plain stupid. Stupidity. Lack-less stupidity. Uh...anyway, check out The Assertive Introvert and whenever you're bored go to Google and search for introvert or/and extrovert. ¶5:41 PM e-mail me (0) comments (0) commentsBack To Blog top September 2002 / October 2002 / November 2002 / December 2002 / January 2003 / February 2003 / March 2003 / April 2003 / May 2003 / June 2003 / July 2003 / August 2003 / September 2003 / October 2003 / November 2003 / December 2003 / January 2004 / February 2004 / March 2004 / April 2004 / May 2004 / June 2004 / July 2004 / August 2004 / September 2004 / October 2004 / November 2004 / December 2004 / January 2005 / February 2005 / March 2005 / April 2005 / May 2005 / June 2005 / July 2005 / August 2005 / September 2005 / October 2005 / November 2005 / December 2005 / January 2006 / February 2006 / March 2006 / April 2006 / May 2006 / August 2006 / October 2006 / December 2006 / April 2007 / August 2007 / September 2007 / November 2007 / January 2008 / February 2008 / March 2008 / April 2008 /
