| Born just before Christmas (well, less than a week), have always been generally overlooked. Any group that I join, they announce an event by phone, and ours remains quiet. I wonder how people, with no real camoflage, can be so invisible without effort. Maybe it's because we're quiet. I always assumed my introversion was genetic, but what if it was environmentally cultured? I do get much more social when I have to spend time with other people. Since I have trouble talking to people, I'd like to know why no one will talk to me--I have to lurk around someone else's conversation to get any info from anyone. I've always called it eavesdropping, but it is not the indictable offense that Webster details: I am simply lurking. It bugs me slightly that I practically have to join a club to get invited to a party. |
