Introversion

Having been an introvert all my life, it's been an uphill task trying to convince people I am OK being this way. It's not an affliction or a disease or something that I want to change about myself. How many times have I had to hear - "take your nose out of that book"; "go play with the kids (neighbourhood) outside"; "why are you so silent, are you unwell?".... Aarghhhhhh!!!

I don't think that I am the shy, wallflower types either. I know I can hold my own when I want to and can fight for something that I truly, deeply believe in. Somehow, I doubt anyone who has known me all these years wants to accept the fact, they have just resigned themselves to the fact that I am like this only.

I happened to come across the comic series titled 'Introversion' by Luchie (an artist, comic lover/ creator) based in Belgium via Leaping Windows (a library-cum-cafĂ© that stocks only comics in Mumbai/ Bangalore).

Anyway, the comic so spectacularly illustrates exactly what I have been telling friends and family for years. When I first read it, the series resonated with me... totally!  

OK, so I get it that you get it...so without much further ado, here's the entire set. (Incase, you're unable to read the print here, please read it at Luchie's blog)
