Found this somewhere … I could identify with it so easily .. sad, but true ..
The thing that makes you exceptional, if you are at all, is inevitably that which must also make you lonely.
-Lorraine Hansberry, playwright and painter (1930-1965)

Here again is that link to being introverted.
I read somewhere that Albert Einstien did not speak till he was five years old. People thought he was slow or mentally retarded. When he finally did start to converse and was asked why he had remained silent, he simply said ” I didn’t see any reason to speak”.
As an introvert myself, I would feel content to only sit on the sidelines and watch as others speak and act. Not refraining from speaking out of snobbery, but just out of not feeling the need to speak. Ruminating in my own thoughts, in a deeper, sensitive perception on what is occuring. Some don’t and will never understand that. And some call it lonliness.
I see that you added me to your Links. Thank you
I shall return the gesture.

@ Girl;
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.
– Abraham Lincoln
That says it all .. I echo your views ..
