Expressing Introversion out of your known space...


Having fun doing the things you like is a good thing. But it’s better to share what you do with other people. As a reserved person, I was always playing videogames alone, and staying in the computer not always chatting with other people. But when I discovered the great world of good playing and awkward moments, I was delightful to have friends who I could talk about videogames and stuff.

There are many activities that you can share with others, like playing trading card games, RPG games, watching a good movie, especially if it is a superhero movie of a sci-fi or fantasy one. Other than that, the most awesome activity you can share with others is going to conventions of comics and videogames and Japanese manga. 

When I was first invited to go into one of my local conventions (I didn’t want to go alone before…), I was so impressed of how many people was into all the stuff of “cosplaying”  their favorite character, and playing card games and also videogames. Also, there was quite a variety of items like clothes or bag packs and accessories of one character. Also I liked that some people weren’t afraid to sing their favorite songs and express to so many people their good costume they made.

There were other conventions I went (not quite a few but not all of the ones they prepared) and their focus were to known modern Japanese anime, a few of comics and videogames (and also digital design). It’s a good thing having those events, so you can know people to trade cards with of just to have a good time. But well, I don’t have awesome cards to ‘duel’ with some powerful deck, nor have the skills to win to someone who knows all the skills of their favorite fighting characters, and win easily.

Although I have little time involved into “Expression of Introversion”, I have played many games and quite seen some anime series. But my motivation is to know more about how people like to gather comics of every kind, how famous franchises like Star Wars, and how games like World of Warcraft are so awesome. Maybe is just the “Cultural Vision” of what everyone else sees about us the ones who likes things like that. Of course those kinds of passion for those series are the reason that everyone gathers to share it. But it seems that is up to the place you live and the things you do who determine the way you like all those things.

It’s confusing that I have to relate ‘nerdy things’ to some specific series and associated material (because I’ve seen on the Internet that it’s a fact, but it's not always a rule...), and also to have somewhat a large collection of items. But I think expression is not always having the most valuable things into your room. It could be enough knowing what you are talking about is awesome and the other agrees with great enthusiasm (if they not, Internet has all kinds of group to admire a single character…). 

But that’s when adventures begin, getting the ambiance to state idea into active motion, apply learned things and having more fun with it. With school activities and such, there can be a time when you can enjoy doing what you most like. Because of course, the "Standard Motion of your Personality" knows that all has to be in balance (so does school, so you can get better things *hehe*).


-“Yay! We’re going on adventure!”
-“Well, so you are now going to show what you are capable of…”
-“And soon, things are going to be so easy!”
