People Laugh at Me

When I have been at my desk all morning by noon I want to take a walk I go out with my dog. We walk downtown.

People laugh at me when I tell them I am shy and introverted because they see me at the times when I am ready for people.

They don't realize that 22 of my 24 hours in the day I am cherishing my solitude (and sleeping) so I can recharge my batteries.

The other night I had to go out to an event and I was dreading going. I was quickly exhausted, frustrated by the drinking chattering strangers.

Hurray for solitude and introversion.
