Others

I think I have learned how to treat people -- my aquaintances and new folks to specify.
I noticed that a lot tells me that I am friendly. However, I really can't remove the fact that I am an introvert -- so that's a hindrance. I realized that I'm really NOT friendly. I just talk to people easily when they approach me. Being friendly means TO approach -- not just to BE approachable. Furthermore, if I try hard to talk to people so that they will talk to me, I will not gain anything -- I put all the effort, but they do not want to be my friend or something, it would be a waste of time.

More or less, I'll just keep quiet.
Nothing is wrong with being quiet right? Being quiet is also an expression -- not a sign of indifference. I knew one person, in our choir, he's younger than me and he appears to be an introvert as well. When he got pissed because the older people were 'bullying' him -- he just kept quiet. And you know what those people did? They kept quiet as well. They did not even care to approach him and say sorry, or ask if they were the ones who made him feel frustrated. The problem with them is that they think that EVERYTHING is a joke up to the point wherein they already hurt others. Well fine, if making fun of others could not be helped, at least BE responsible for what you have done.

What I mean is, if they know they are getting far of have gone far, they should KNOW it without others reminding them. And since they are the 'starters' they should also end things -- especially when they frustrate or annoy other people.

I will not try hard to fit in around people. However, if I really feel like opening up, then I would.
Not all people are 'plastics'. I don't know. It just comes to me right away if a person is worth befriending or not -- in my point of view.
