The thing about Jennifer Lawrence is that every movie she’s in, you just think, I would be terrific friends with this person.
Which is actually a very weird phenomenon when you think about it, because, like, I probably wouldn’t be terrific friends with a young widow who loves ballroom dancing, or a bow hunter from District 12, or a shapeshifting mutant.
And yet….
Some people have asked to read the commencement address I delivered this morning to the 2013 graduates of Butler University. So here it is.
My own commencement speaker, who shall remain nameless, began with a lame joke about how these speeches only come in two varieties: Short and bad. This…

I’m not good at being a person on the internet.
Definition: Contrary to what most people think, an introvert is not simply a person who is shy. In fact, being shy has little to do with being an introvert! Shyness has an element of apprehension, nervousness and anxiety, and while an introvert may also be shy, introversion itself is not shyness. Basically, an introvert is a person who is energized by being alone and whose energy is drained by being around other people.
Introverts are more concerned with the inner world of the mind. They enjoy thinking, exploring their thoughts and feelings. They often avoid social situations because being around people drains their energy. This is true even if they have good social skills. After being with people for any length of time, such as at a party, they need time alone to “recharge.”
When introverts want to be alone, it is not, by itself, a sign of depression. It means that they either need to regain their energy from being around people or that they simply want the time to be with their own thoughts. Being with people, even people they like and are comfortable with, can prevent them from their desire to be quietly introspective.
Being introspective, though, does not mean that an introvert never has conversations. However, those conversations are generally about ideas and concepts, not about what they consider the trivial matters of social small talk.
Introverts make up about 60% of the gifted population but only about 25-40% of the general population.

Right? LOL
I hope I never have to find out.
NGL I have been in one fandom or another so long I’ve completely forgotten what I actually did in my free time.
Yep. ^
Exactly. How did I used to waste time? How did I used to make friends?
I concur with everything here

A demo of a song from the upcoming album that you probably wouldn’t hear unless I leak it myself… Which I’m doing now. And here it is.
Don’t say I...
