I Need To Go Out More

I need to go out more and that's a fact.

If you've ever wondered how some introvert survive being introverted for a very long period of time (if not their whole lives), then you should know that most times, it all has to do with the mind.

Whenever they're not seeing a movie on their phone or computer or on the Internet observing and chatting (because that is how far of an extrovert they can be), they're deep down in their head, creating some very wild and probably stupid imaginations, one that might be embarrassing if you do find out about it. And that is why you see them sometimes really deep in thoughts and even mumbling incoherent words to themselves.

Some of them get so lost in it, that they unknowingly make the words much more audible for someone in the same room as them to hear, and when the person turns to them and ask if they said something, they quickly get a grip of themselves and put a pause on the imagination to continue later, or if it happens to be some really interesting thoughts, they become very careful not to be audible while enjoying whatever fantasy they're making in their head.

Unfortunately (or fortunately) for me, I happen to fall under the same group. I doubt there's a day that goes by without me getting lost in my own head thinking about something that isn't true and unrealistic.

It has gotten to a stage where I no longer create new imaginations, I now develop the old ones I've built and try to add new stories to it day by day. And what makes my imagination really entertaining to the extent where I sometimes get to spend about an hour in my head (if I don't get interrupted) is that I always place myself in situation I know I never might find myself in in real life. Sometimes I give myself a profession that I know I have no interest in pursuing in real life and just use my imagination to live the celebrity lifestyle.

It's fun I tell you but then sometimes it's sad because instead of being lost in my head imagining some crazy things, I can be out there with my family and friends, creating beautiful memories together. So yeah, I really need to go out more often before someone walks in on me one day and then come to the conclusion that I may have some mental issues due to the way he or she saw me smiling and talking to myself.
