It's Not That
It's not that I'm awkward
Or hard to talk to
It's not that I'm stuck up
Or bitchy
Not that I'm privileged
Or vain
That I'm misunderstood
I'm speaking to a different crowd
That I'm labeled
Not that I'm still learning
And lost
It's not that I'm self discovering
And abused
It's not that I'm not wanting
And in need
Or hard to talk to
It's not that I'm stuck up
Or bitchy
Not that I'm privileged
Or vain
That I'm misunderstood
I'm speaking to a different crowd
That I'm labeled
Not that I'm still learning
And lost
It's not that I'm self discovering
And abused
It's not that I'm not wanting
And in need

Introspective write. Social Introverts are some of the most misunderstood personalities on the planet; it's a paradox of seemingly contradictive emotion.

I always feel like I'm either standing in the crowd screaming and no one knows I'm there, or I can't hide from all their nosy, prying words and eyes. *shaking my head*

Thank you very much. I'm trying to find my awesome self because for so long I've believed that my self was a worthless nothing. I'm starting to think that that's a big fat lie :)

Hey! I saw your 'awesome self' right away, so yes, the latter was a big, fat lie. You're great, stay awesome!

It is me trying to express my failures with personal social interaction. I have trouble "fitting in" even though I want to, and then people make assumptions about who i am.
