Simulating a Love Affair with a Shy Introvert
To gain a taste for the experience, go into a vacant old house, taking no notice of the address. Bang your head against a window in that house. After the first few impacts, note the pain and anguish in your body. Note how the window most likely will show no obvious sign of your impact. You may now walk away, believing that you have made no impact, nursing your headache as you stumble along the sidewalk. You have no way of finding the house again. As soon as you leave the room, cracks will spread along the surface, and the window will shatter. The pieces will fall to the floor soundlessly, because you are not there to hear it.

*fans self* SO MANY FEELS, as the kids say.
I think I have done exactly what you described many times in the figurative sense. And the only thing I got out of it was a cracked skull...lol...
Are you going to swoon? I will catch you and pour water on your head.
i LIKE IT
THE FEELS
What a perfect analogy! Nice job.
*hug*
It's hard to tell what it's harder on, the head banger or the window... Agony all around
Introverts and old house smell...
Hmm.
Wow. Your description is perfect, and I've never heard anyone say it better. Thank you.
So, the glass is the introvert and the head-banging is the extrovert?
This is a good bit of writing.
when i read this, i'd like to think that you're walking away as the pieces shatter, and that shy girl is there standing there with the pieces of her broken heart
