I think everyone who has ever met me would agree:
\nI sometimes struggle to, let\u2019s say, \u201cconnect with people.\u201d<\/p>\n
I\u2019m equal parts withdrawn and then critical \u2014 aloof and kinda cold until I come on way too strong and say whatever I want, getting my foot in my mouth.
\n<\/p>\n
But probably everyone who has ever met me would also agree:<\/p>\n
Deep down, I actually care a lot about people.<\/p>\n
As an often-angsty, usually-isolated introvert, I was shocked when my mom, sister, and best friend \u2014 happy-go-lucky extroverts, every one of them \u2014 all used the word \u201ccaring\u201d to describe me when I once asked in my mid-20s.<\/p>\n
