Something I find interesting about being an introvert is that I still need socialization. I spend most of my days in classes or at work and I don't socialize in those places because I'm not an outgoing person. Sometimes I don't socialize all week. When that happens, I'll get this weird feeling of restlessness that's only relieved when I'm social, particularly when I socialize with people with whom I'm comfortable.
Introverts (especially those on this site) talk big about not needing people and hating doing anything social, but when it comes down to it, we are designed to be social creatures. It's how we've survived and thrived for so long; community gives us an edge over other creatures. I wish I had more background knowledge about humans and community throughout history to better express what I'm trying to say. But yeah, even though it uses our energy to socialize, we still need it to survive and that's that on that.
Though brightly shines the early eastern sky Though radiant does its brother end the days Though so plethoric shine the stars on high The light that comes from you decries their rays Though sweet the songs that sing the morning birds Though tenderly protects the mother bear Though strong the bonds between the grazing herds Your voice o’er-heard makes silent their affair
The oceans roar and ceaselessly devou’r All that it pleases; nothing is exempt And all is subject to the fire’s pow’r None flee when flames, their targets have been dreamt But you are more astonishing than these For in your heart, it’s God you long to please.

Fear surrounds, darkness closes in The hands crawl through the windows The feet stomp up and down the stairs I'm alone
Why am I so afraid? Nobody else is so fearful My senses spike at the slightest noise My eyes fail me
I can't be alone Don't leave me Don't forget me I can't
I need you to hug me and hold me tight I need your arms around me, your breath on me I need your lips to kiss me and tell me it's okay I need you
Don't abandon me now I have no hope of survival Poison fills the air My mind is lost
Save me
