I saw this in a magazine. As a loner, I am slightly offended. Although I suppose people do continue to disappoint me....mostly with their noise when I would rather have silence. And their presence when I would rather be alone.
I love the quiet. It is so very soothing. If I could meet a large group of 'loners' we would probably get on like a house on fire. And then go back to our own solitary pursuits humming happily.
I really don't understand extroverts at all. Isn't it draining to be around so many people all the time? Certainly is to me. After a party I don't want an after-party, I want a nap. And a book. And maybe to sit with my feet in the cool grass.
So dear Jodi Picoult, the only thing that disappoints me about people, is really, the presence of the people. I'm busy enough in my head, I don't need you.
