All Fear the quiet ones

 I realized today the look I get from some of the people around me. There are the days when I am extremely extroverted and love talking to people however there are more days I really enjoy being quiet, introverted, and not bothered. I realized today when my boss saw my discussion involving fire arms with a coworker the look of fear like "maybe he is going to snap and just do it." then of course I think about the way everyone looks at me after being around me a lot. It is the same. Like they are afraid I just may snap simply because I am quiet. I am introverted. I am withdrawn. It is who I am. It is who society has taught me to be. Through the constant heartbreak and betrayal and aggression of others I have learned it is just so much easier to withdraw and let my social circle be the extent of my extroversion. i try to still seem happy. I try to still seem polite. Perhaps my proxies for those social objects are just not enough.

So instead of trying to understand the quiet one fear him. Fear the day he snaps and takes everyone else with him

Or realize that behind almost every quiet socially withdrawn person is just a person who has been hurt. Who has chosen to withdraw where you chose to interact.
