What is your definition of introvert?

Being an introvert means you enjoy being alone or in a small group (1 to 3) of good friends (and you feel energized by them) rather than big crowds or enjoy activities that you can do alone

Have you always been a introvert or did you develop introversion?

I feel like I developed it. Because when I was watching some old old videos my mom recorded, I was kind of savage to my mom. I don’t know if it was because I was a kid or I wasn’t much of an introvert back then. I think I was like 7

Were you bullied?

Yes, but I don’t remember being it physical (punches, etc.), it was only mental (with words). So it wasn’t that bad. Only sometimes they would grab my things from the desk and go somewhere with them. That was the most annoying thing they did.

Do you have friends?

In elementary school I actually had one friend, and ironically enough it was one of the bullies (he was a friend before he started to bully me) I felt betrayed. But I still have him as a friend on facebook.

And In secondary school I had a second friend just recently who is an extrovert, but not for too long though. He sat next to me and started to talk to me. At first I was stressed, I didn’t know what to expect from him. He started talking about me like “why are you so quiet?” or “do you play games?” and I was actually surprised about how I handled that. And then he said “can I add you on facebook?” I was like, sure why not. And then he made me write the first message to him. I was SO stressed about that. I was rehearsing the sentence like 100 times until I decided to send it. And then we started talking about me in more detail, then he talked about his favourite game, then I talked about my favourite game. It actually felt like talking to my own brother.

But time has passed and so the friendship. I didn’t know what to talk to him about

Are you usually very outgoing among people you’re close with?

Only with my brother

How do you feel about being the center of attention?

I hate it. In secondary school I had a teacher who had like I-have-to-change-him attitude to me. And he always called me to answer a question or go to the board. I even gave him signs that I don’t like it, but no. He didn’t give a f***. Then I tried to talk to him after class about that and then he actually stopped… for a while. And then, guess what.

Are you a good listener?

I don’t really know what that means. Like sure I will listen to people but when it comes to me answering, I’m like “hm hm” “ok” “really?” and so on. I answer with one word response

Do you talk to yourself?

Yes, and I actually like it more than talking with a different person. I often just go to kitchen or living room (if no one is there) just to talk to myself

When I watch a documentary, only then I start to overthink about the thing that documentary is about. But I don’t watch documentaries that often

Do you enjoy creating detailed fake scenarios in your mind?

Alright, so right now I have a crush on a girl and I keep creating scenarios like “what if that happens” and I start to create that situation in my head. How she would react when I say that or that. It’s almost like overthinking when I think about it

How’s your relationship with your family?

My mom cares about me. When I told her about that I have a crush on that one girl literally just minutes ago, she was really nice to me, she gave me tips about how to approach her. She told me how she met my dad. She’s literally my go-to when I need help with anything, unless its something electro-related.

My dad is helpful, although sometimes annoying. When I need help with some electro-related things, he’s the one who is most likely gonna help. Just recently I wanted to buy a new PC. I told my mom, she told my dad so I don’t have to, and he came to me to help. But sometimes he just talks and talks for literally 3 hours straight and comments on everything he sees, and that’s when he is annoying af. But I still like him.

And my brother is my go-to when I want to have fun and sometimes he’s even helpful too. If my dad doesn’t know how to fix something with that new PC, my brother does. If I want to help with a videogame, he’s the only one that can help me, although sometimes he doesn’t want to.

So yeah, that’s us. Loving family 🙂

How do you feel about your birthday? How do you celebrate birthdays?

At my 18th birthday I told my mom to celebrate it between 5 to 7pm. Because I like that time of day, it’s a little darker outside but not too dark. My dad and brother were at work. And she got me a Terraria-themed cake (My favourite game at that time), AND a new headphones. Wow, I love my mom.

Best birthday ever.

But I don’t like when my dad is home during my birthday, because he comments on EVERYTHING he looks at, he just can’t shut up

And don’t even get me started about when other family members come to my home. My mom’s parents, my dad’s parents, my cousins. At that point, I don’t even try to communicate. I feel drained like INSTANTLY
