You will never understand an introvert

Maybe you are my friend, but that does not mean I should be friends with your friends. It does not work that way. Never had, never will.

You do not understand? It’s okay. Nobody does.

Nobody understands an introvert. Some say they do, but they never did.

Being friend with an introvert does not give you the right and authority to introduce him to others and imposed that he should be comfortable with them too. Not only are you alienating him even more, but you are also endangering the current status of your friendship with him.

If at times we’re in a company of other people and you call me out for being too quiet and force me talk, or ridicule me for being uptight, you immediately become an asshole to me. No matter how I used to respect you before.

Never make me, and my personality, the punch line of your jokes.

You may think you are helping an introvert by encouraging him to meet other people. Guess what? You are not helping. Don’t make yourself an introvert-saviour, because we don’t need one. I don’t need saving.

And please, spare me all your positivity and optimism mantra. You don’t hear the voices I hear in my head, nor are you feeling all the emotions I feel within. Trust me - you have no idea.

I am okay with a small circle, the smaller the better. Even if that circle is gone, I can live with that. That is how it has been in the first place.

Do not try to understand, because you will never understand an introvert.

Nobody does.
