Introduction

PEOPLE : one thing that every introvert can agree they hate the most. Let it be some guys you know or random strangers, the level of dislike can vary. You can't live in this world without them but you get nervous when meeting new people(not always though). Now let's take a peek at some of the types of people I have met in my life. For the sake of their privacy, I will not be using their real names.

Types of People

The psychopaths: I've known well 3 psychopaths during the last 5 years. 2 of them were drowning in depression and anger related issues. The first guy i've known from school. He used to get really angry even at small things. He also told us that he was taking medicines for anger issues and I didn't knew he was a psycho until he revealed it to me after 1-2 years. He also tried to take his own life, broke his father's arm once. Last time when i contacted him, he told me that he had relapsed from his medications and is now normal. He was a good writer. He wrote a lot of poems and his voccabulary was extraordinary.

Now the second guy i've know is from uni. He currently discontinued his course from my college and joined another course some place very far from here. He used to take a lot of medications including pills for sleeping etc. During the first few times when i met him, he got really angry even at small things. One time he told me that he also suffered from schezophrenia and he got a lot of hallucinations too. He too tried to end his life after he broke up with his girl but luckly survived. He was a good photographer and a good listener too. He used to listen to my troubles and gave me some good advice.

The third person is actually a girl whom i loved back then. When i confessed my feelings she rejected me and after that we became good friends. She was also good at english too. Sometimes while we chat when she gets really angry, she switches from malayalam to english and starts cursing me in the same. Only after a long time she revealed that she was a psycho and suffered from dissociative identity disorder aka multiple personality disorder. Now every thing makes sense. She had a lot of friends even though she was an introvert and she manages every one of them well. It's like she has a different personality for each of her friends! We are not friends anymore after we got into a big fight over some silly thing. If I need to talk to her, I have to contact her first and she barely will contact me first. Once we start talking, she will yap for hours about the things she did and the kinds of people she met. I listened to her very curiosly even though I didn't had much to share.She is also very intelligent and knows how to read people well.

The extrovert: This guy whom I'm still friends with is good in interacting with people. Even when we're walking in some place he always stopped at times to talk with the people we've found in the way. It's like he was friends with everyone. One time he tells me that even though he take a lot of effort talking to a person, sometimes he doesn't get the same response back and it makes him a bit sad. He is one among the nicest guys i've ever known except there is one problem. Most of the times he will take hours to reply back to my texts and sometimes he also won't take my calls.

The introvert: R is still one of my best friends. I get to know him while we had our 12th standard final exams. Even though we were classmates i haven't talked to him much mainly due to online classes and my akwardness to meeting new people. He is just like me, not interacting with people much but once you get to know them they won't stop yapping. We talked a lot about chess, various television series when we were going to write our math exam while other students were preparing really hard and even some of them looked at us curious why we weren't tensed about the exam. He was the guy who recommended me to watch Queen's Gambit from netflix. He is a really good person and have high moral standards. We sometimes engage in some deep converstions that will last for hours during phone calls once a month or so. He also gave me good advice about relationships when I really needed it. He assured me that every person has their own time and that time will come one day.

The backbenchers: I met D and F while I was staying at hostel for 1 month when i was in 10th standard. They were my roommates. Even though the hostel life felt like jail with strict rules , both of them made my life more easier there. They don't do well in studies but they are good at life as the quote says "The real world and the academic world do not operate in the same way". We did a lot of nuisance at the hostel and most of the time we managed to escape from the warden's as well as the teachers' eyes. Sometimes i visit them when i go home during vacation times at uni.
