This Is Social Privilege |
I am Steven, formerly Stephanie. From this blog I hope to expose the privilege of and oppression by extroverts. |
I’m an introvert, so obviously I don’t like it when I am talked to by someone when I don’t want to talk. However, I have a major problem. One of my three Head-mates, Mortimer, is extremely extroverted, and is always talking to me at the most inopportune times, which makes being introverted really difficult. It also doesn’t help that whenever he fronts, he makes me seem like that kind of person. Since my friends at school don’t know much about Head-mates or introvert injustice, they just assume that I am an extroverted person, leading them to talk to me more. I don’t want to kick Mortimer out because my other two Head-mates, Gohdan and Lucretius, really like him, and they might harass me about it if I do. I’m crying as I type this. What should I do?
Have you considered filing for a restraining order? I know this may sound somewhat absurd as they are your headmates but by obtaining a restraining order you would be in effect making a statement that you are subconciously repressing Mortimer. Eventually you will reach the point at which he or she becomes an insignificant part of your psyche and bam problem solved.
You could additionally look for psychiatric help though they will most like have you institutionalized unfairly. They will interpret your headmate situation and introversion as a sign of “mental illness” despite it being perfectly healthy. I experienced similar problems when my parents made me see a psychiatrist. I am no longer seeing a psychiatrist because of what I was put through.
I hope this helps your situation and best of luck in having this conflict peacefully resolved.
