You're not terrible. Everyone else is.

Do you find yourself hiding under the covers at the very thought of socializing? Do crowds and complete strangers make you wish you could stay indoors for the rest of your life?

If so, you probably aren't a people person. And that's OK.

There are a ton of awesome, antisocial people out there. Doctor House, for instance.

If you can relate to any of the following situations, you probably aren't about that people life. Welcome to the club. (Of course, it's a club where we all avoid one another. Because ugh, small talk.)

1. You assume you won't like people, even before you meet them.

In fact, this is something your friends call you out on. Often.

2. Disliking people is basically habitual at this point.

It isn't your fault that they consistently prove you right.

3. You can't stand running into people you know in public.

Your Jedi mind powers just never seem to work when you need them.

4. You're not above making yourself look busy to avoid speaking to someone.

You just happen to get super swamped when other people are around. Total coincidence.

5. You firmly believe that all phone calls can and should be text messages.

But seriously, why did this require a full-fledged conversation?

6. You'll say anything to get out of unexpected plans.

Seriously, anything.

7. Small talk makes you so, so uncomfortable.

They don't really want to know how you're doing, so why bother asking?

8. You don't comprehend why people find the need to voice half the things they do.

No, Karen. No one cares what you cooked for dinner last night.

9. You really try to act interested, but it's just so hard.

Don't worry. If you just say "wow" and "that's crazy" a lot, they'll think you're still listening.

10. You have zero patience for stupidity.

I mean, why can't people just think before opening their mouths?

11. Sometimes, you just can't control your facial expressions when people speak.

Giphy

If your friends are constantly telling you to "fix your face," this one's for you.

12. You've been known to offend someone every now and again.

You almost feel bad, but they probably deserved it.

13. Interacting with other humans all day really takes its toll on you.

Giphy

Who knew putting on a friendly face could be so exhausting?

14. Going over your people limit really isn't great for your mental health.

Or your liver, for that matter.

15. Lonely isn't a concept you're familiar with.

Wait a minute. There are people who actually dislike spending time by themselves?

16. The only people you do enjoy spending time with are people like you.

Giphy

Other weird, antisocial humans? Don't you mean best friends?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
