Who Am I Hiding From?

I have been going over what the inner way offers me and I get an ever-changing view of my life.

My life is about finding myself and not about finding anyone else. Since that is clear, where am I hiding?

Better still, who am I hiding from?

I am hiding from people that have never known me and never will.

Few people have ever even wanted to know me, nor me them.

I am a bona fide introvert and have never been otherwise.

This means I prefer a life of quietude and solitude.

Social occasions offer me nothing but frustration and fatigue.

Nevertheless, sometimes I must bow the knee and go.

Afterwards, I am drained and have to recuperate in solitude.

Online I have a lot of friends; I have no trouble liking people that I don’t have to put on a facade for.

Life, for introverts, is about finding out, once and for all, that no one can change their essential nature.

Once this is fully seen, playtime begins.
