not to say that i don't like being around people, but spending every waking moment with others can be a little draining for an introvert like me

• other people don't always want to be quiet and listen to music and read, so they talk and talk, and i just want to read my book
• people are always like, "is everything okay?" when i'm not as energetic and smiley as i usually am
• people get annoyed by the things i do, and likewise, i get annoyed by the things that they do
• when i've been around people long enough, i feel as if i'm under a microscope, like i'm being watched
