Lonliness #2: Introvert and Extrovert.

05:22

As an introvert it can be a little lonely and isolating when you're sat within a group of people. Wanting a bit of alone time or wishing nobody directly asked you a question you hadn't really considered an answer to. Or when you're in just the right mood and with the right people that you feel comfortable with it can still be very draining to have to socialise for a whole day. Even just 6 or so hours at school I have to take about an hour when I get home to just sit to myself before I move on to doing something with myself like washing up or pulling my homework out of my bag.

I've recently had a busy weekend full of socialising. I had a sleepover at one friends house and went from there to another friends house to sleepover there. I had 5 minutes to go home and drop off my bags before going to see my cousins at my grandparents house before they left for their home again. Another 5 minutes to empty my bag and fill it with my purse and other little essentials to go and see a movie (paper towns, it was amazing).

After that weekend I was in some serious need of home and alone time to recharge and recover from the non stop socialising. Don't get me wrong, I love my little cousins and my friends are bundles of fun but as an introvert, that was an absolutely overwhelming jam packed weekend.

Two of my best friends - who have been best friends with one another for 13 years? - have a few opposites amongst their similarities. One is tall, the other is short. One is blonde, the other is brunette. One is introverted, the other is extroverted. This close contrast I see nearly every day in texts or at school while we're not on a break. It's interesting to see two points of view, for example, we had plans to go out one day to the park during half term and while one friend was excited to meet up and go out, the other said she was happy to have a week away from school to do nothing, sit in and watch films and what have you. I laughed because we had plans that very day and the day after but it was interesting to see how different people felt about having plans.

Nevertheless, I feel I have now recovered from my oh so social weekend, feeling more chipper and more likely to accept another invitation out hahaa!

I'd like you to make note of todays picture and look after your introverted and extroverted friends accordingly, we are all different after all and humans need a little bit of lovin'. If you can't quite decide whether you are more introverted or extroverted I've taken the liberty of linking a quiz for you [here] and [here]. I took the tests myself and it seemed pretty accurate.

Let me know whether you're introverted or extroverted or if you have any I vs E stories. :)
