How to ruin an introvert\u2019s day
\nMake him fall in love
\nSmile at him a little too often
\nPraise his insight sincerely, just once.
\nStare at him in the eyes for a moment too long before looking away.
\nThen leave him to his thoughts.
\nHe will continue on his way
\nHe will continue to study the world
\nHe will continue to make small positive differences everywhere he goes
\nHe will continue to be cordial, polite, and quiet to everyone
\nBut he will be thinking of you.
\nWhen he buckles down to analyze a difficult problem he will first and lastly think of you.
\nWhen he greets people in the office he will think about you
\nWhen he listens to music he will think about you.
\nHe will check his phone a little too often, hoping you have called.
\nHe will check his calendar and wonder when next he will meet you
\nHe will compose poetry, sermons, and impassioned declarations for you that you will never hear
\nWith a last glance at his phone he will go to bed, dreaming of you
\nAbsolutely miserable that you are not there.
\nIf you want to ruin an introvert\u2019s day
\nMake him fall in love.
\nIf you want to ruin his life
\nLeave him alone. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
