Re: # 11

It is true that introversion may have some benefit in meditation and that whatever may be, man cannot live without communicating with his fellow beings. That is the point of the story; the introvert begins to realise this reality or else he knew he would be suffering in silence and indifference to the world. Eventually, this would have resulted in an emotional breakdown but the human instinct of his being 'social' wins over and saves him from becoming a cold-blooded reptile.

Sana:

It has a "Silence of the lambs" quality to it. I agree with the premise - there may be some benefit to introversion in the Buddhist sense, but you only start living when you share your joys and sorrows.

When you look too hard at something you can never tell it changed.

My stories mostly revolve around the central character and his/her thoughts. This is known as "interior monologue" in literature. The inner feelings of the protagonist are the major part of the story.

No, it is about a solitary person who undergoes an internal change. It can be anyone, I did not have anybody particular in mind.
