Introversion is most dangerous to lead a lively life

Introversion badly affects the lively life. An introvert is someone who is reserved and mostly prefers to stay alone.Every person has a kind of dream, to go to one of the most famous places for adventure or something other, whatever else. It should be succeeded if the extroversion is showed up. But if there is only introversion in characteristics then it will be very difficult to adjust not only to the outside world but also within itself.

William, a handsome young man of 25 years old. He lives in the New York City. He belongs to a rich family. So many people are lived in the house. His parents, his uncle and aunt all are under one roof. Just like a unity. His life can be so pleasant with whom he lives.

The place is in his favour. Everything can be in hand. There’s nothing less. Life can be easily passed on without a second thought. But there’s a big problem waiting for William. It comes out not from the environment but inside itself. His life is going to face this.

Everyone in his family is busy to decorate their own life. Life is going on just like a computerized device. All are programmed previously. Just time to time, need to press a button, to perform any things properly. Since childhood ,William is used to be stayed alone. He is just like a reserved one. Everyone says that William is an introverted man.

But how can he explain this to anyone?

He can’t help himself doing this. His life is going to move towards an isolated land, where only the company is his loneliness. It’s so pathetic. He can’t bear but still he can’t do anything.

He has no more friends. It’s very difficult for him to make any friendship with someone. He feels comfortable only to talk to itself. He doesn’t like to talk more with people. He would like to live with silence. That’s the most peaceful situation for him.

He has started to talk to himself-

Am I mad?

The answer comes from other side, his reflection at the mirror-

“No William, you are not”.

“You are not as like as others. You are different”.

William asks -

How can I live like this way? People always try to irritate me. I don’t like that.

Please say something.

Only you understand me. Nobody else.

I just laugh to see my condition.

Hahahahahahahahaha!

I have nothing to do. I have no desire, no hope. I understand myself very clearly. All things are so enough, so extravagant that I am tired to see that. You tell me, if there’s no hope then how can I get inspire to move on? I am so exhausted being kept here.

William sits on the easy chair for a while. Take a deep breathe. Again start to think.

 “My life is so boring”. If I am belonged from a middle class family, then life may be moved on so interesting ways. At least I can engage myself doing something. Only eating, sitting, outing etc. can’t make a life, a lively one.

For a lively life, it is essential to do something for which heart is always craving. Then time is easily passed on without any realization.

Within the deed to be performed, so many difficulties and challenges may appear. Dare to face any challenge, making a life so adventurous. Then the mind is delightful. Heart is so enlightened. It screams-

“Whoa! What a wonderful life is that”!                              

My parents always tell me, go to outside to enjoy your life. There are so many things packed the whole city. Money is not a problem. Why do you always feel so sad? Take the money and go. I have just refused and told them, I don’t like that.

I am scared to look at my life. It’s so terrible.

There are so many people to talk, still I am alone. There are so many places to go, still I am stalling. There are so many things to see, still my eyes are closed. But, why ? I am screaming. It’s a terrible punishment. I can’t bear at all.

Oh my God! Please help me. Bless me.

My heart is screaming again and again .No one here to share my pain. All comes and goes because of their selfish reason.

Damn it! I am William. How can I allow this happen in my life? I am not responsible for this, at all. My surroundings forced me to bear this. At early childhood, when everyone got family’s love I didn’t .There’s so called family bonding existed. My dear parents always ran out after their career, to be a rich one. I had always passed my times alone. I had no one to talk. My shadow was my only companion. From the school time to the graduation period, every platform was reached only my feet. I had been walking along with myself since then. That makes me today’s myself. Just an introverted person. How interesting is it? I am set in such a city where everything is eye catching, mind blowing, heart touching.

Damn it! Still I always feel loneliness. Now nothing can be changed. Nothing can impact in my life. The most crucial part in my life was passed all alone. The loneliness is held the place. My heart would cry to overcome this and mind is uttered it’s expression, just by reciting a poem:

What a life!

Making me crazy

By showing it's both side.

Simplicity and complexity

Reel of life!

I am tired

Running like a runner

Craving to be a winner

So exhausted

So tired

My heart craves for a place

Where nothing can reach me

Only myself and me

The sky, the green trees

Heart is longing for this place

I am searching

I need a break

To cheer up myself

Boost up strength

Life is just like a book.

Sometimes bad

Sometimes good

How much bold you are

You can't escape from that truth

The terrible truth!

Can make a braver to be a timid one

Don't worry

I am your supporter

I will stay with you at all times

Worst or better

That's not a matter

Just relax for this time

Every thing will be ok

You will be fine

It's a matter of time

Bravery is definitely need

To move on

But a little break is essential

With thoughtful decision

Damn care is not alright

At all situations

May be there's a hidden danger

Waiting to capture you

So be careful

At every steps stepping!

Remember that

Only one life

Life is beautiful

Live lively

With all possibilities

By proper understanding

Bravely!

I am thinking

About myself

Who I am

Whom should I be

I have no freedom

Steeping restrictions

Flying scaring

Dreaming screaming

I had also the choice

But I couldn't grasp that

Now I just felt that

Flying like birds in the sky

In the colourful world is totally absurd

Again screaming!

I try my best

Nobody can see my secret face

Terrible painful face!

I am shocked from the past

My mind still stucked there

I try to rid of from that

But I can’t get

I try to hold my tears

They try to come out like waves

No barrier!

A holder in my hand

To collect the drops of pain

Shame!

It’s shame

I tell myself

Shame on you!

Come out from that scary pain

RIP out all!

Don’t need to collect the tears of pain

A miracle sound!

Give me your pain

Why are you so quiet

Don’t talk to anyone

Don’t pay your interest

To do anything

What is happening

You can share with me

Silence only kills itself

Share your feelings

Share your pain

You will feel better

Just give it a try

Trust me

Plz tell me something

I will be here to share your pain

Try to understand

Don’t be quiet too much for long time

You are not meant to be like that

You seem so friendly

You are so lovely

I don’t know

What affects you so deeply

But try to overcome this

Sharing would be the best choice

Again screaming!

Now I stand up to speak to take my step to face the loneliness:

Hey you

Listen to me carefully

I am fantastically fine

Nothing is happened to me

You bloody brat!

You think

I am a dead body

I can't live without you

My life is going to shrink

Hahaha!

So silly!

How can you think like that

You are not so important in my life

I am ok

I am bold

Your tricky movements

Can never hold

It’s my life

All is in my hand

Are you get the point

Just go to hell!

New York City, one of the most packed places for life to lead lively. After having so much experiences, I, William find out the real meaning of life.
