For anyone reading this blog that doesn't know me, there is a piece on info I'd like to share. 

I'm extremely introverted. There's a lot of stress on people my age to "get out there and network" and "set yourself apart from the crowd." I love that because I love to talk to people, but at the same time I hate that.......because I have to talk to people.

I think it's strange though. My generation sits at the standstill mindset of ,"if someone shows me their true colors and I don't like it, they're done." In some situations, this can be a good thing. Setting personal standards and demanding respect (whether or not politely is debatable, but I digress) 

So where does the outgoing introvert go in this situation?

For people like us, it's hard to make friends because we are picky about our company and who we want to spend out energy on. But at the same time, we hate being lonely (even though we love being alone.) 

Why is it that those of us who have so much to say with such big opinions are the ones who are rarely heard?

And on that path of thinking, at what point do we determine the difference between being obnoxious and being an extrovert? What about the people who know too much and have no one to tell? 

It's a vicious cycle of never knowing when to speak. And then speaking too much when spoken to.

I find myself too often observing and overthinking. Overanalyzing and correcting. 

In the world of black and white, where do the greys belong?
