I felt like there was something wrong with me most of my life until I started reading about INTROVERSION. When I realized I was an INTROVERT and not some kind of freak. It was very liberating. I am more HONEST about my needs now.
I used to think there was something wrong with me. I'd make a bunch of friends, then find myself just-withdrawing-from them, they did nothing wrong, I would just get overwhelmed and need to be along on my own for a while. Now I understand more about being an Introvert. Thanks to Facebook! Of all places and I can at least give somewhat an explanation to them when they are left wondering.
