Who am I? (No Filter Contest Entry)


Who am I?

A bit of a loner- who isn't lonely.

A listener. If you have something that needs to be heard, come to me. I will listen, even if others won't. I will listen, and try to understand.

A thinker. Around my friends, I take the conversation in. I give my view when it's appropriate. Sometimes it leads to a new perspective. Sometimes it leads to laughs. I can't help but smile as everyone cracks up around me.

A critic. I love to nitpick my entertainment. It's my favorite hobby. I believe everything should be thought out in fiction. No implication should be ignored. It's not overthinking. It's demanding completeness.

Single. I don't understand why people search for love. So often it ends in pain. I've never felt any desire  to be with someone that way. I'm not going to lead someone on by pretending I'm something I'm not.

A friend. I'll be there for you, if you'll be there for me.
