#introverts

"Telling an introvert to go to a party is like telling a saint to go to Hell."

"The key to flow is to pursue an activity for its own sake, not for the rewards it brings."

"There's a difference between preferring books to parties and preferring sixteen cats to seeing the light of day."

"Writing is something you do alone. Its a profession for introverts who want to tell you a story but don't want to make eye contact while doing it."[Thoughts from Places: The Tour, Nerdfighteria Wiki, January 17, 2012]"

"The most introspective of souls are often those that have been hurt the most."

"Because introverts are typically good listeners and, at least, have the appearance of calmness, we are attractive to emotionally needy people. Introverts, gratified that other people are initiating with them, can easily get caught in these exhausting and unsatisfying relationships."
