Luna's Husbando

I know this post is from a while ago, but I feel like I should respond to this. If someone does't want to have a conversation with you you shouldn't try to force one. I wouldn't care if you were going out of your way to have a conversation; I wouldn't want to have to carry it. You should just leave us quiet people alone and stop trying to force us to to talk to you, because chances are we just want to be left alone. Also, there are plenty of reasons for someone to be shy. They could have social anxiety, they could have been bullied or abused. You don't know so you have no right to say that there is no reason for people to be shy. This is what so many of you extroverts fail to understand; not everybody is like you, and that's not a bad thing.

I started watching the Nostalgia Critic when a friend introduced me to it, haven't really given anything else on the site a shot. I still haven't seen all the reviews but I found a bunch of them pretty funny. It's kinda neat to see that he's back now, although I thought his latest review was pretty weak and I don't like the bits much.

Introversion does seem to have kind of a stigma attached to it, at least here in Murrika. The problem seems to be that since most people are extroverted and like being the center of attention they assume that that's how everyone should be. I'm more of the quiet type myself and a lot of people, especially my parents, seem to see this as a negative thing. In my French III class from last year, the teacher insisted on making class participation part of our grade. She expected everybody to be talkative and active in class and if they weren't, they'd get a low participation grade (luckily she never went through with this). A debate proceeded where some students pointed out that people shouldn't be penalized for being quiet and she still insisted that being talkative and active was the only option. Still, it was nice to see that some other students, who were more outgoing, saw that being quiet isn't bad.
