Extrovert. Extrovert.

But I can’t pretend to know her because I don’t, not even after all those years. So intimidation gets the best of me. I’m not her.

Introvert. Extrovert.

Parties. I have no business to do with parties. They’re too loud, too populated, too everything. House parties? They’re the worst. A sensible version of me would’ve declared ”no” in her best friend’s face, left her to be happy with her handsome boyfriend, and called it a day. But no, such version of me does not exist, and I know that too well.
