I visit about once a week and each time I look under the recent posts and click on something that has anything to do with personality, like this post I was reading just now... Well, I have never in my life felt more like someone just took the words right from my life experience and put it out there for me.

She writes much better than I do about herself and being an introvert. I've read many introverts talking about themselves, but none of them could I relate to quite like I do this girl. It's almost as if... if I were to space out, go write something about myself, and then snap out of that and not be spaced out again, go back and read what I wrote when I was spaced out, not remembering that I had written it. Because everything this woman says is exactly ... Exactly everything in ME, only put much better than I have ever been able to put it, than I think I could ever hope to put it...

Like I said, at some level I can relate to pretty much any other introvert, but she's just... A clone on my personality and experience and way of seeing things, it seems. A clone...

And I have to say that it is SUCH a relief. To be able to go to her blog and read these things every once in a while. See her recalling and explaining the same experiences, the same confusions... I mean, I think I have written nearly these same sentance before, but perhaps with a bit less proficiency and clearity: There's a certain way to get me talking when it comes to general conversation, but most people don't know how. I'm not even completely sure how.

I was tempted to highlight and paste the whole paragraph, then the whole page... hahah. But if anyone is really interested or cares you can just go to the link I put up towards the beginning of the entry. The whole experience of what she describes in that post is something I've been through countless times. Every single bit of it.

Also, on a slighty different topic (slightly), I like her blog because sometimes I feel narcissistic posting so much about my personality and my experiences with the world as myself and being introverted. But her entire blog is mostly devoted to that. Maybe I would feel better if my whole blog was devoted to that, too... because if it was obvious that it was just a website devoted to this one part of my life, instead of a blog about my "life" that seems to focus too much on this one thing... Well, it wouldn't seem so strange. You know? ...

Also it's just nice, as always, to remember that it's okay to be... ME.

I love this post, too. About pessimism. READ IT! :)
