"Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste." Rolling Stones - Sympathy for the Devil Well, I'm neither a man or wealthy and have questionable taste, but this is what comes to mind when I'm asked who I am! I usually end up blurbing something garbled, and laughing strangely before trailing off into awkward silence. This my friends, is why I write. When telling people I'm an introvert- especially if they had met me at work- I'm looked at with disbelief. True though. The work environment gave me an external script to play from, and I could act bubbly and smooth talk my patients into feeling somewhat relaxed. Key word here is act. In real life however, I stammered, which made mastering the art of small talk or a snappy comeback, a daunting task. People did not play along with my inner dialogue and I was constantly frustrated by my inability to effectively communicate verbally. This is what led to my keeping journals, and gradually I started stringing words together in ways that pleased me- and I became addicted to scribbling (and I do mean scribbling) across a page. …show more content…

Big. My son, who has Aspergers and ADD, also writes. He prefers Spoken Word, and we'll save his story (from a Mother's perspective) for another day. I am so proud of my brats. They are kind, compassionate, possess great (odd?) senses of humour, and are independent thinkers. What more could a mother ask

Just know this, it’s my senior year and this would be my 8th school I’ve been too. You’d think, and hope, that maybe the reason I’ve been to so many schools is because of better reasons than being kicked out. But no, there’s no other reason, so how about we pass the part where you judge me and pretend to feel so sorry, especially because I really don’t feel like talking about it.

    It has been a few weeks on the island. I choose to be Ralph’s side, because he was the only one to personally speak to me. An everyday image for us group of boys is Jack and his hunters hunt while Ralph, Simon, and I build shelters and Piggy and the littluns build a rescue fire. Jack harassing Piggy and then going to bed musing about being rescued. Today was different though. Today we are going to find out if the beast is real. We have been walking through the jungle all day listening to Jack and Ralph argues about being chief, which, is getting on my last nerve. As the sky changed into a dark shade, Simon volunteered to go back and help Piggy with the littluns. I don’t know why he wanted to go back alone but if anyone would sacrifice, it would be him. We reached the mountain! Jack went climbing up on his own while Ralph, and I waited for him. Eventually we decided to go up. “There was a slithering noise high above them, the sounds of someone taking a giant and dangerous strides on a rock or ash” (Golding 121). As jack came down, he had a croaking feel to him. He said he saw something bulge. Ralph and I decided to go take a peak. When we got to the top, we saw a creature.

    For example, when asked a question at work I often answer with “give me just one second”, or “ill get back to you”. Most introverts need time for internal reflection. A chance to process the question and think about my response. Introverts make great listeners, are studious, and are okay with solitary activities (The Personality Page, n.d.). However, most introverts have a hard time with external communication and are sometimes perceived as being non-social (The Personality Page,

  • Contrast Introvert And Introverts

    1148 Words  | 3 Pages

    Introverts are described with words like “guarded,” “loner,” “reserved,” and “private”—narrow, ungenerous words that suggest rudeness and smallness of personality (Rauch). The truth is, one is not necessarily nicer or warmer than the other; the two simply have different personality types, and society should be welcoming, warm, and forgiving to both! These different personalities are not black and white. Frankly, every person has a different personality; one may be more introverted or extraverted than the other. In work situations, it is clear that each different personality in a room can bring something different to the table of completing a task as well. Extraverts and introverts have each proven to carry different qualities into society with students in school, in social situations, and in leadership skills; therefore, authorities should look into a prospective employee’s personality type when interviewing them for specific

Using my common sense, I stayed away; I never talked to him and I rarely even made eye contact with him. One night, though, as all of my friends were inside getting snacks and socializing, I lay outside alone and stargazed, in excruciating pain from a migraine. I was fine, although I will admit a bit lonely.

    I am not an open book, I’d rather keep my business private because my failures and successes are in no interest of anyone but myself. Being an introvert can rub people the wrong way. My first impressions are more often than not the wrong impression of me, but that also keeps the people I don’t mesh well with away. I strive to understand the topics and facts of life that interest me; I do not strive to understand how people feel or how they act the way they do. Connecting with someone emotionally is not an act that happens to me on the regular.

  • Dramatic Monologue

    1554 Words  | 4 Pages

    When discussing the poetic form of dramatic monologue it is rare that it is not associated with and its usage attributed to the poet Robert Browning. Robert Browning has been considered the master of the dramatic monologue. Although some critics are skeptical of his invention of the form, for dramatic monologue is evidenced in poetry preceding Browning, it is believed that his extensive and varied use of the dramatic monologue has significantly contributed to the form and has had an enormous impact on modern poetry. "The dramatic monologues of Robert Browning represent the most significant use of the form in postromantic poetry" (Preminger and Brogan 799). The dramatic monologue as we understand it today "is a lyric poem in which the speaker addresses a silent listener, revealing himself in the context of a dramatic situation" (Murfin 97). "The character is speaking to an identifiable but silent listener at a dramatic moment in the speaker's life. The circumstances surrounding the conversation, one side which we "hear" as the dramatic monologue, are made by clear implication, and an insight into the character of the speaker may result" (Holman and Harmon 152).
