Introverts, in contrast, may have strong social skills and enjoy parties and business meetings, but after a while wish they were home in their pajamas. They prefer to devote their social energies to close friends, colleagues, and family. They listen more than they talk, think before they speak, and often feel as if they express themselves better in writing than in conversation. They tend to dislike conflict. Many have a horror of small talk, but enjoy deep discussions.

Studies have shown, that, indeed, introverts are more likely than extroverts to express intimate facts about themselves online that their family and friends would be surprised to read, to say that they can express the “real me” online, and to spend more time in certain kinds of online discussions. They welcome the chance to communicate digitally. The same person who would never raise his hand in a lecture hall of two hundred people might blog to two thousand, or two million, without thinking twice. The same person who finds it difficult to introduce himself to strangers might establish a presence online and then extend those relationships into the real world.

Nagase: The answer I said was 'beef baby'.
Tsuyoshi: But hey!
Koichi: A meat baby? Beef is the meat!
Nagase: But I also said it kind of rock star style- "Beef babay~"
Tsuyoshi: What's the real answer?
Koichi: "Ushi" is "cow".
Nagase: So it's "Cow baby"?
I want to reblog this a thousand times over.
I don’t know much about it, but this seems much more likely than my mom who is all, “Pit bulls just turn on people without warning.”

Really though, been cycling through these on repeat.
I need to do these. Mostly I’ve been cycling through coping mechanisms that make me feel worse in the end.
