I’m talking about the kind of people who are usually direct, straightforward, take no bs and initially come across as cold or closed off. Some of these people are also comfortable in being their normal selves and aren’t afraid of their flaws

A friend of mine was a lot like this and honestly, she was a badass. I remember when I was first introduced to her through some friends, she gave that stoic sorta stare and “hated hugs”. At first I was like, “what’s with this girl!”, but after I got to know her and went out with her, I started to see how she opened up. She eventually told me that she is quite introverted and that she knows she comes across as angry all the time but she’s not. It got to a point where she eventually gave no one else affection but me.

Her being an introvert made it seem as an achievement everytime she told me about herself and things. I really enjoyed every moment with her.
