Tale of an Introvert

Few weeks ago perhaps I had talked about an extremely introverted person, how tough it was to communicate with her is beyond description. We were in touch for almost two months and then finished with each other. Our task was completed and done successfully. In the meantime, our conversations were very very limited, won't be more than a 5 minutes read if written in words. Yeah, all we did was pass instructions verbally and, and I wrote down most of them and she did her part. That's how it went on.

As mentioned, we are done with each other. It's been a month, and suddenly I see a notification of an incoming friend request on instagram, hehehe, lol. Yeah, it was from her, on the mutual list we had some common people as well. So I was sure that she is an introverted person for real but wants to be connected on the virtual life. I am the opposite, I find myself in between of being and introvert and extrovert but I never go forward to make new ties that an extroverted person is good at. I have friends who can make good connections with anyone, I mean with strangers as well, they take the first step and bingo. But I am bad at it, I nevrr take the first step nor I do willingly send friend request to someone just to be friends unless or until I have some work with that person for which we need to be connected.

Let's go back to that introverted person. After accepting the request, the first thing I did was to scroll through her profile, lol. As expected, very limited amount of posts, no personal things, that's what I do appreciate as well. Well, now that I am connected, I just see her posting stories that stays for 24 hours and fades away, that doesn’t include anything personal rather some thoughts, feelings, mischief, and stuff like that.

On the virtual world, I do highly appreciate this kinda lifestyle. The last photo I had uploaded of mine would be months ago. Within a year, I would upload three or four photos, that's how I am as well. I too have friends who maintain some kinda daily streak as well, which sounds terrible. Be as anonymous as possible on social life, sharing is good, oversharing is harmful, and for people like me, nothing to share.

So the reason behind dragging this topic is that introverted or silent people like me are great observers, who love to observe everything and does that. She got connected and would be observing me there, I know she won't text me any day nor I would do so. She is just connected in case of any need or to observe me as I was also a part of her tiny life. The fun fact is, I haven’t posted anything there after January 2023, lol. Nothing to observe me in any of my social media as I love to observe people, not to be observed by other people.

So yeah, that's a little tale from the daily life thoughts that has arisen from the real life experiences and here I am saying goodbye for tonight.
