I don't like spending a long time with a big group of people. Going up to someone and initiating a conversation has never been one of my strengths. Unless you ask me a question I probably won't say anything. I hate small talk. The best way for me to recharge is by just being alone. I'm an introvert, plain and simple.
If you know me really well or met me at camp you would probably disagree. My best friends know me as someone who always has a witty comment or something to say to make them laugh. When I'm with people i know really well I could probably talk forever, it just takes me a little bit to get to that point. Once I'm comfortable with someone then they'll see a more outgoing Michelle, until then I'm just kind of awkward and quiet.
Truth is, I'm proud of being an introvert. I love having a close knit circle of friends. The nights i spend at home by myself are what I look forward to during the week. I don't see it as a personality flaw. I love who I am.
The point to this post being: love who you are. There is no reason to ever wish you were someone else.
Have a good night, friends.
--Michelle (:
