#introver thoughts

[introvertlifestyle]

I owe everything that I have done to the fact that I am very much at ease being alone.

Marilynne Robinson (American writer, *1943)

[sad-bard]

“Misery loves Company”

Misery wants soothing

Misery can not be alone

Misery wants to share

Misery wants to be coddled

Misery loves Company

But Company doesn’t love Misery

Company wants to be there for the good

Company wants to soothed

Company wants to be love without the cost

I am Company

Misery let me go

I wonder what life would be like medicated.

[missintrovertofficial]

I form N number or wonderful sentences to say to my loved ones or the people around... But wen it comes to delivery it is nil.

Recently one of my closest friends was getting married.... I had may thoughts in my head... I would do this, i would do that, i would gift her so and so... While parting i would say this... I even was ready with a speech in my head, it was an emotional moment obviously. So much was there to talk, to share... A list of things were ready in my head... But when it was time to bid good bye, not even 10% of thoughts going on in my head could be delivered.

Fun fact: I even think 100 times before complimenting any one. Its not like I do not want to compliment but i just feel conscious about it.

[stardewvalleycatycat]

. ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁˖ what i thought of sam and sebby when i first played stardew. ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁˖

๋࣭ ⭑⚝ sam

✮⋆˙ I like his vibe, being a musician seeing a character like that gave him some points. I liked his sweet kind personality. getting into his heart events changed my thoughts on him however..

๋࣭ ⭑⚝i really liked his two heart event it was cute seeing him jam out with his friends, and im a huge fan of the sam,abi,sebby friend group dynamic.

๋࣭ ⭑⚝ the 3 heart event was really cute and it showed the dynamic between vincent and same which was cute. i dont have alot else to say about it

๋࣭ ⭑⚝ the 4 heart event however, i didnt like it. it feels childish, you earn 50 friendship points with him for basically lying which i find really dumb.

๋࣭ ⭑⚝ if i thought the 4 heart event was childish the 6 was way more. he does a cool skate trick and lewis catches him doing it and is made about it cause its not allowed. if this led to making a skate park in the town i would enjoy it alot more.

๋࣭ ⭑⚝ the 8 heart event was alot of fun i enjoyed it, it continues on the 2nd heart event and you get to see him, abi and sebby play their concert, my favorite sam heart event.

๋࣭ ⭑⚝ yikes... we know how i feel about the childish sam heart events. if it wasnt for his mom walking in i would enjoy it alot more. but it felt really weird considering his most likely in his 20s

๋࣭ ⭑⚝ in conclusion i enjoy him at the beginning but after that im not a huge fan. he gives man child/himbo energy which im not the biggest fan of.

sebby

‧₊˚ ☾. ⋅ ok im going to have alot more bias cause hes emo and emo guys are like m type >_< i really like his vibe and his introvent nature

‧₊˚ ☾. ⋅ his second heart event was anything special it didnt make me like him or dislike him more. i dont have alot to say about it.

‧₊˚ ☾. ⋅the 4 heart event i really like, cause you got to learn that he owns and drives a motorcycle which foreshadows the 10 heart event and marriage with him.

‧₊˚ ☾. ⋅ the 6th heart event OMGGG I LOVE IT. you get to see him in his element and bond playing his favorite game with him which is cute to see and your bond with him is close enough for him to show you his game.

‧₊˚ ☾. the 8 heart event is so good after the 6th one. it again shows the closeness you are with him now he opens up and talks to you. another set up for later is a frog and if you marry him he has that frog in his room.

‧₊˚ ☾. OH MY FUCKING GOD THIS CUTSECNE. yes my emo motorcycle boy bias. he talks you on a ride to zuzu city and then he confesses his feelings for you and then a sweet kiss between you too. AHHHHHH MY BRAIN TURNED INTO MUSH AFTER THIS. I think you can see who i like better :p

‧₊˚ ☾.in conclusion, for sebby i like how its hard to get close but once you do its SO FUCKING CUTE.

if you have any recommendations for more things or fanfic to write lmk <333

[stormyoceans]

As someone who doesn't like vice versa I dare you to try make me like jimmysea

SKFGDSKFGSKDGFSKDGF I—i mean if they're not really your thing i doubt anything i could say is gonna make you like them but YEAH OKAY SURE WHY NOT I CAN TRY

let's meet our boys separately first!!!!

jimmy. actor, doctor, babygirl. frankly has my undying admiration even just for being able to juggle his acting job while also studying to become a dermatologist and somehow succeeding at both literally could never be me. people tend to dislike him for his role as wai in bad buddy, but you only need to watch any bts video from the show to see how much he is adored by everyone and if anything that should be proof of the absolute range he has as an actor. avocado enthusiast and self proclaimed extrovert (is he tho. is he really), don’t get fooled by his quiet and responsible appearance, he’s actually the most deranged man in the industry. i still remember the day an anon told me he improvised nomming on his co-star's face and using a pillow to suggest stripping said co-star down and eating him out all in the name of Acting™ because i've never been the same ever since. the me before and after i was given this information are completely different people

sea. actor, athlete, dog dad. you won't get a single objective thought out of me because i am: Disgustingly Fond. debuted with a killer performance in the show 55:15 never too late as a supporting character, the fact that he's somehow still so underrated when he's one of the best actor in GMMTV makes me want to bark bite maim kill. he is an actual ray of sunshine with a smile that could light up the entire world and also the perfect example of an introvert: he has the innate ability to somehow disappear from any social gathering, but if he wakes up in a silly goose mood you will find him shamelessly twerking in front of everyone and being an absolute goofball. he's also a great singer and goes along with everything jimmy does because he is a big Simp™ (who's more deranged, the one who noms first, or the one who noms back, this is the question)

and now onto them as a pairing!!!!!

jimmysea. with a 5 years difference between them, they are actually the pair with the biggest age gap in GMMTV, which could have come in the way of their on- and off-screen relationship, but from what we are privy of i think you can see in every interaction they have that they clearly adore and are incredibly fond of each other. maybe it's because they share the same kind of derangement, or maybe it's because they both are very hardworking and humble boys who always try to give their best, but somehow they work. as the older one jimmy is always there to help and guide sea however he can, but when he needs it sea is ready to step up and carry the weight for him. they may not possess the kind of chemistry that's all sparks and fireworks, but they have a quiet gentle intimate one that makes them look like they've been married for years, which is also helped by their insane ability of looking at each other with so much love and adoration in their eyes it feels like your heart is getting curb stomped against the sidewalk. they don't really know what fan service is and they can go weeks without seeing each other (the drought eras), but when they do hang out they usually go out to eat and swim together (preferably at the pool in sea's condo after jimmy drives him back)

..not sure why this came out as a sales pitch tbh ;;;;;; honestly there are a lot of things i could add and if i were to convince you to like them i should probably send you links to videos and stuff like that but. im not really good with this sort of things ;;;;;; (i guess i could still suggest you to watch their praew interview to have an idea of their dynamic)

in the end all i can tell you is why i personally like them, which is mainly because what transpires of their relationship feels very genuine to me and they seem to be really sweet boys who just stand in their introverted corner minding their business doing their own thing portraying high romance and giving incomprehensible levels of adoration derangement goofiness talent ability skills. THEY ARE JUST SO COMFORT SHAPED TO ME IDK WHAT ELSE TO SAY

[luniack]

not sure who all relates to this, but do you ever get the feeling that you don’t belong, that you never felt belonged in the place where you are or your whole life. i felt the latter in multiple different ocassions not just once. 

i always tried to feel like a belong somewhere for my true self but i wasn’t able to. is it cause it is always me who goes looking for it then it coming for me?

you know for once in my life i want someone to chase me or go behind me because that would mean that someone actually wants me for me the whole and real me and not just the ‘therapist’ me.

i want someone to choice me as their first choice or priority just once can someone want to be with me not cause they want to rant or cause i was their comfort place when i was their ‘therapist’

so can someone be my friend?

[f0mo]

its like i want to be alone but i want to be touched

[illneverloveagainwithoutyou]

Once the quarantine is over please, can we keep the distances between us? I don't want to come back to false kisses or false "hi, how are you?" or "Hey *name* do you know that you missed so much? false! (especially with the family)

Unfortunately, I was born in Italy and this land is so famous for the warm people, excessive hand gestures and so on, all that I'm not, I am not warm with people. I hate move my hands while I speak, I hate scream, I hate the physic contact, Touch people, especially when I speak during the conversation.

Why I am so unlucky? And sad?

[sad-bard]

“Sad bits”

I write down the sad bits

Then find them later to erase

In hopes that I’ll forget how sad I was

In hopes that I’ll forget the pain

-rae

[539481]

I just can’t watch some Disney movies anymore. The lion king is the worst. Anytime I saw that movie as a child, I wished mufasa wouldnt fall to his death, but he always did. This is some kind of sadness that I do not like to experience so I don’t watch this movie anymore.

[moscnios]

hello!! ₍₍ ◝(　ﾟ∀ ﾟ )◟ ⁾⁾

How are you writer-sama?? (or do you prefer chan?)

I have a request for u! (ﾉ0)ﾉ💌 (but idk if you are comfortable doing these characters..😅)

How do you think this introverts: Zoro, Law and Ace (kinda introv?) Would act with their s/o once they're "comfortable enough" with them? cuz I feel like their s/o would have some kind of "privileges" (?) and a somehow "different treatment"?? if you know what I mean (◕દ◕)

bc i think that at a certain point of the relationship they will already know and have already seen all of their different sides and aspects and so they accept them wholely (is that a word?) 😔 so they naturally feel more at ease and kind of lower more their defensive side with them.. 🥺 i hope it's clear 😭 and of course if you want to do it love! It can be a headcanon maybe?and preferably a fem!reader?

Sending love~💚

BYE BYE !! ⋋✿ ⁰ 0 ⁰ ✿⋌

✸  headcanons  %  being comfortable with their s/o.

✸    characters! . . .  law, zoro & ace.

✸    cw(s)! . . .  no pronouns used. slight angst in all three. mentions of bathing in ace’s. ( just physical intimacy ) not proofread.

✸    notes! . . .  ofc i’m comfortable with these characters. i can never shut up about them lmaoo. it gives me the opportunity to keep talking about these clowns my loves. thank you for requesting !!

law will not get into a relationship unless he builds that trust and is comfortable enough with you first

it takes him a lot of time. and i mean a long time. and he doesn’t want you to just sit around and wait for him to be ready because you deserve better

however if you do stay and are willing to wait for him, he can’t pretend that he’s not thankful you will wait

when he finally feels that he is ready, when he is comfortable enough to start a relationship with you, it’s the little things he does. things such as:

him waiting for you at the door of his office, asking if you’re coming in or not. when you know he’s only asking is because he enjoys it when you’re in his office

making sure you eat before he does

relying on you to complete his toughest orders but always making sure to say a quick ‘good luck’ before you go

or even when he smirks when you call him captain

one night in his office, completely out of the blue he tells you the story of corazon. he appreciates how attentive you listen to him, how you rush to his side when he becomes emotional, how you don’t judge him, and how you ask if he needs a hug

he never thought he’d be saying yes to one. but here he was, head in the croak of your neck as you allowed him finally be able to let it out

zoro, like law, is likely not going to get into a relationship without building up the trust first. however, it doesn’t take him as long to finally give the relationship a shot

he wants to lay everything out on the table before he enters a relationship with you. he wants you to know exactly the kind of man he is

he’s very honest about how he’s never been in a committed relationship before and how he probably couldn’t even try to be the textbook definition of romantic if he tried. but the most important he says is, that he wants to change that, for you

he loves when you take naps with him, while he falls asleep to the rhythm of your breathing. because he can’t sleep unless he knows you are okay

when he’s training he enjoys your company. you don’t even have to be saying anything or doing anything. he just enjoys your company

the way to know if he trusts you or not is if he trusts you with his swords. if you are not a swords-person already, he will definitely try to teach you a trick or two in case you need it in the future

the ultimate test of knowing he trusts you is when he hands you one of his own swords to train you

if you bring it up, he’ll brush off your concerns by admitting that he would trust no one else with his blades

i may be alone in this BUT at the beginning of your relationship with him, ace is not all that keen on physical affection

he’ll wrestle somebody. but the sheer act of someone wrapping their arms around him in a romantic sense made him a bit uncomfortable

overtime when he finds himself more comfortable and confident in himself and your relationship, he’ll definitely give physical affection a second shot

but in true ace fashion, he’ll probably ask for it in the most nonsensical way possible because nothing is very simple with him

get ready for a lot of cuddling with little spoon ace

ace’s favorite form of physical intimacy is bathing with you. he prefers having his back pressed against your chest while you wash his hair. he feels safe and loved in your arms

it is in one of your baths together that he tells you the truth about his heritage, which he was holding off on because he was worried you’d see him differently

when you express that you don’t care who his parents were and where he came from, he couldn’t be more thankful that he found someone like you

DAY 1 - Heaven official's blessing

The first character I will discuss today is: Xie Lian

-----

on what basis do I know the MBTI of  the character ?

I see a lot of posts that tell that Xie Lian is INFJ which is one of the options I will never choose to describe this character there is a similar traits of course between the INFP and INFJ ,but there are points that you should consider when you try to know what type of person is in front of you.

for me, I don’t like to separate every trait by its letter for example if he cries a lot, he is F(Feeling) or he likes to go out so he is an E( extrovert ), because this is not a good way to understand the personality. what you do now is defined the personality in a superficially way that gives you the wrong understanding of the whole character.

for me, I understood how the character acts like and what was the reason that make he\she act like that then how this character will solve their problems or live with it .. etc then after this, I can judge what type of character are we having. this is the opposite way for what most do.

for example,

if I had a character that likes to go out the first thing I will say what for

is that person likes to go out to see nature and observe people from long distances and cool his/her mind in a small corner of the park?

how does he feel when he returns back to the home he has the energy or does he need to charge back?

all of this and I can't also tell if he is E or I because you should see more in him considering the rest of the aspects of personality.

-------------

let’s start 

when I first say INFPs the first image comes to the mind that they are cute, sensitive, and weak personality which lives in a tough world that they are so cute to handle.

if that is what you imagine I will excuse you to reset your thoughts again because INFP is one of the strongest, stablest, and powerful characters .

why xie lian is an infp ?

the character we deal with 

- was a prince before and ends to be a rubbish collector .

- was a beloved god for his race ends with all his race stable him with the sword 

- his mother and father commit suicide because for his point of view he was the reason 

- tried to commit suicide but didn’t work because he is a god .

- he got alone and lost in his own world trying to understand what just happened as an army walked on him with their feet 

all what we see and we can still see a smile on his face not a normal character can get to this stage after all what happen.

Xie Lian was a Introved diplomat man that can change another mind without having a good social connection in fact he is very awkward when it comes to dealing with people here we can see his introverted side. the first situation that popped into my mind was when I try to see how he communicate with others. I see the part when he goes to the bar and orders than when the waiter asks him to pay he just keeps searching for the money in his clothes then the garbage bag that makes the owner tells him that he doesn't want money. 

Xie Lian was a prince who don't have to deal with people. He only deals with the country's issues by his diplomat way.he can’t clear the misunderstanding between him and his friend because this need the person to say why he does this or to ask them clearly what makes them think that he doesn’t care for them (the situation is big also because both his friend are introverts) all this can’t be told with introverted way, because their will still be a misunderstanding 

that shows us that Xie Lian is an introvert but also a diplomat 

the introvert diplomats here are : [INFP - INFJ].

Xie Lian Feeling side ?

for INFPs they like to be feeling stable far away from your imagination they would do anything to be stable but there is the thing that shows in Xie Lian that he does want to be lonely that shows a lot when Hua cheng [san lang] shows in his life you will see how he get worried when he didn’t come back he was afraid he will be alone and lonely again.

but you can ask here why san lang [Hua cheng] because this person is having what exactly what Xie Lian wants  [not what you think you dirty mind 😏 ]

Hua Cheng is a very comfortable person when it comes to Xie Lian, not an angry person who shouts and picks a fight he is very simple and cool in his own way. this is a very good thing for Xie Lian he wants to be a person who makes him feel safe not a powerful person because he is the powerful one. 

reasons that he isn’t infj 

- here is one of the things that I will not consider that this person is not INFJ because when it comes to INFJ feeling they always choose a person that is very different from them if they are stable they will want a changeable person. They always follow their lover this is also a thing INFPs will not do because INFPs don’t like other to control their actions that show when Xie Lian even after he becomes again a popular god still collects the garbage and doesn’t always stay with Hua Cheng in his ghost town that a thing an INFJs will never do because they like to be with their lover whatever happens because they are very possessive.

Xie Lian isn't an organizer or a planner one at all

I could have begun with this point first but like i said i don’t like to see the character as litters so i have to clear some point to be able to see the character more deeply 

But how can be a god who likes to collect old stuff without planning where to go or what hour should he start work ... all of this should how he like to move freely without a plan he gets his own plan when the station comes this were the Perceiving Function start to work. 

we of course dealing with a P person as for me as ENTJ i can’t deal with a situation without having a plan and Xie Lian is exactly the opposite of this.

THE END

there is still a lot of things I didn’t mention about Xie Lian but I really take a lot of time to write this as my first time writing a long post like this it may be a little bit of unorganized review about the character I wish I also didn’t make a lot of grammar mistakes ...

ALSO write your own opinion so we can discuss about it 

say you later
