An Introvert's Simple Pleasures

Too often in the introvert/extrovert conversation, it turns into "this is why being an introvert is especially difficult." I love being an introvert, now that I've accepted it as a part of my life. Here are a few of the things that I think of as being the things that bring me true joy because I am introverted.

• Sitting outside somewhere secluded with my headphones and MP3 player, able to really get lost in the music
• That moment when my house has been full of people, but then they all leave and my house is completely quiet
• Seeing a movie when I am the only one in the theater
• Eating dinner with a good friend in a mostly-empty restaurant
• Getting into a passionate discussion about deep issues with a friend
• Finding a corner of the library where nobody goes and sitting back there, reading and surrounded by bookshelves
• Taking a walk by myself
• Standing in the middle of a crowd in a big city and knowing not one of them wants to talk to me
• Crying in the middle of a crowd in a big city and knowing it's safe because nobody is going to ask me if I'm okay
• Finding somebody else who's as introverted as you are
• Standing on the stage in an empty auditorium or theater
• Going into a store where nobody asks me if I need anything
• Also, late night grocery store runs when practically nobody's there
• ALSO, self checkout

What are yours? What are the things that feed your introverted soul?
