Everything you know if you’re both shy and outgoing at the same time

Life is basically impossible for people like us. Everything we do feels like a walking contradiction, and it seems like like nobody ever believes us.

“But how can you be shy and outgoing at the same time?”

Our close friends know our outgoing side and can’t picture us as anything less than the crazy mess we are, but when we meet new people, we clam up, start sweating profusely, and have absolutely no idea what to do.

We need other people to initiate conversation

But once they do, we can’t shut up

It all depends on how the stars have aligned that day

And sometimes it’s really, really tiring

It’s like our body is not in sync with our mind

But there is literally nothing we can do about it

Because there’s not even a word for people like us

Even though there should be

We either like you, or we don’t

And there is truly no in between

Nobody understands us

And we don’t really understand ourselves either

But we’ve accepted our fate as a living, walking contradiction

Because we love surprising ourselves every day
