Comment from Wendy G
I am glad you accept yourself as you are, and hope others accept you for who you are as well. I too am an introvert, and find gatherings difficult. Believe it or not, my family actually called me "the runt", as my next younger sister was bigger and taller than I was. There's nothing wrong with being a loner - people can be very wearing, and I feel it is important to be comfortable with one's own company. Well written.

as always, you're right. :-)
Comment from Cass Carlton
Somehow this resounds with me, as knowing you just a little better. I often imagine what people are like in their private lives, and this piece fits the image perfectly of the one I'd built around you. Thank you for sharing. cheers Cass

Really? Why? I don't lie. This was me from the time I was knee high in grasshoppers.

Nothing wrong with that.
Reminds me of the story of Dolly Parton, who came from a large family and later decided not to have any children of her own. We are all on different paths. Thank you for sharing.

As Popeye says, I am what I am. (toot-toot)
Comment from Donna G. (aka Sam Duck)
Wow! I don't know if you are writing about you, or if this is fictional, but it is so insightful. Slightly wistful. People think there is something wrong with being an introvert, and some try to change who they are. But it is just the kind of person who gains their energy from their time alone instead of from others. Accepting that it's who you are is one step. Being happy and proud to be who you are is the next one! Great poem.

No, it's me. A social butterfly I have never been. I am like the Russell Crowe figure in A Beautiful Mind, save for I don't do well with x and o's but excel and arithmetic.
