{"quotes":[{"text":"When a bookworm finally decides to leave the house, perhaps to explore some literary destination in one of her novels, she will be surprised to know that there is a volatile, often antagonistic force in the real world known as the weather.","author":"Joyce Rachelle","tags":["book-lover","bookworm","comical","introvert","leaving-the-house","literary-destinations","literary-walks","places-in-books","reader","reading","weather"],"id":2469,"author_id":"Joyce+Rachelle"},{"text":"Actually, judging by Pinterest alone, I'm pretty sure a lot of people would look forward to hanging out in such a beautiful library. Just not people Peter knows. He thinks I'm so quirky. I'm not planning on being the one to break the news to him that I'm actually not that quirky, that in fact lots of people like to stay home and bake cookies and scrapbook and hang out in libraries. Most of them are probably in their fifties, but still. I like the way he looks at me, like I am a wood nymph that he happened upon one day and just had to take home to keep.","author":"Jenny Han","tags":["always-and-forever-lara-jean","introvert","to-all-the-boys-ive-loved-before","young-adult"],"id":7237,"author_id":"Jenny+Han"},{"text":"Quiet people always know more than they seem. Although very normal, their inner world is by default fronted mysterious and therefore assumed weird. Never underestimate the social awareness and sense of reality in a quiet person; they are some of the most observant, absorbent persons of all.","author":"Criss Jami","tags":["absorbent","ambivert","assumption","awareness","bias","cool","crazy","culture","discernment","down-to-earth","extrovert","friendly","intelligent","introversion","introvert","judgment","knowledge","learned","loner","misunderstood","mysterious","normal","observation","odd","prejudgment","prudence","psychology","quiet-people","reality","reflection","shy","silence","social","social-awareness","strange","thinking","underestimated","understanding","weird","wisdom"],"id":17374,"author_id":"Criss+Jami"},{"text":"There is a certain delightful sort of hope which the introvert can receive only by having company over...The hope that they will leave soon.","author":"Criss Jami","tags":["alone","alone-time","company","funny","funny-but-true","home","hope","humor","introversion","introvert","loner","privacy","shy"],"id":17643,"author_id":"Criss+Jami"},{"text":"When the chips are down, you are alone, and loneliness can be terrifying. Fortunately, I've always had a chum I could call. And I love to be alone. It doesn't bother me one bit. I’m my own company.","author":"Audrey Hepburn","tags":["audrey-hepburn","introvert","loneliness"],"id":19700,"author_id":"Audrey+Hepburn"},{"text":"The idea that you are not good enough and that people will not like you is something that has been ingrained into your mind over many years. You have hundreds of experiences that you can call up as evidence of the fact that people will not like you -- and that things will not turn out well. These ideas are incredibly convincing. They compel us to hesitate, to shy away, and to avoid the situations -- and people -- that we find frightening. This sets up a reinforcing cycle, where we avoid reaching out, don't get good responses from others as a result, and then gain further evidence that we are not worthy. In order to truly overcome your social anxiety at a deep, gut level, you must repeatedly take bold action. It is only through trying something new, and with a different perspective, that you learn to see the world and the people around you in a different light.","author":"Aziz Gazipura","tags":["action","anxiety","habits","introvert","shyness"],"id":26414,"author_id":"Aziz+Gazipura"},{"text":"Sometimesi don't haveenough soulin my cheeksto show myface to theworld.","author":"Curtis Tyrone Jones","tags":["alone","depression","face","hardship","head-up","introvert","life","life-lessons","pain","self-care","soul"],"id":33778,"author_id":"Curtis+Tyrone+Jones"},{"text":"An extrovert looks at a stack of books and sees a stack of papers, while an introvert looks at the same stack and sees a soothing source of escape.","author":"Eric Samuel Timm","tags":["books","christian","escape","extrovert","god","insight","introvert","jedi","love","papers","personality","source","stack","static"],"id":36297,"author_id":"Eric+Samuel+Timm"},{"text":"There is no window to look outside.There is no window to look within.Open the doors.","author":"Sanhita Baruah","tags":["ambivert","be-happy","closed","connect","convenience","door","extrovert","identify","introvert","look","open","open-up","others","outside","people","see","self-realization","shut-down","spiritual","window","within","world"],"id":47678,"author_id":"Sanhita+Baruah"},{"text":"You might be an introvert if you were ready to go home before you left the house.","author":"Criss Jami","tags":["anti-social","anti-social-instincts","antisocial","antisocial-instincts","bored","drained","energy","extroversion","extrovert","funny","funny-but-true","home","homebody","house","humor","instincts","introversion","introvert","loner","partying","peace","personality","quiet","quiet-time","recharge","rest","restoration","shy","sleepy","social","tired","traits"],"id":53537,"author_id":"Criss+Jami"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":114,"pages":12,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
