Crawling Into My Shell

When the world seems to get too large, too quick or too scary,
I crawl into my shell.
Natural introversion takes over.
When other's natural opposites push me into places I can't go,
My mind retracts.
Carefully considering responses,
Giving me some time to get comfortable with the world again.
Frustrating everyone around me.
This is my curse.

Garden

At a garden party. Lots of people here. I don't really know them. Paralysed by social fear. They're all really friendly. And I'm drinking their beer. BBQ is roaring. What am I doing here.

My main thought today has been why am I such an introvert. I don't understand it, I was never this way in my early years.

Appreciating Awkward Moments

Have you ever wondered what it's like to have awkward moments everyday. They're unavoidable in my situation and they're really annoying. It's not that I don't want those moments to disappear.

Maybe For The Best

I didn't see this girl on that morning and I'm home again now. Sat here thinking that maybe me failing to talk to this girl isn't as bad as I thought.

Shy.

I really cannot help myself, I am as meek as a mouse, When some stranger makes eye contact, My mouth just clamps itself shut.

The Tortoise

I'm like a tortoise, slowly I get coaxed out of my shell and for a while I enjoy myself, then something happens and I shoot back in to my shell.

@iPuss yes - my username is bryanrobertheap

Awww. My husband is an introvert. I know how hard conversation can be for him. He is getting more comfortable with it as the years go by though.

@bryanrobertheap. I don't think retreating is all bad. We all need a safe place to gather out strength. :)
