Him...

He is not conceited. He is not cocky or arrogant, and he doesn't think that he is better than anyone else. Throughout his life, he has been told that these characteristics were many peoples initial impression of him. Once they really get to know him, they come to understand that he is not like that at all.

The truth is, he is humble. He is nice, he is caring, and he has a good heart. It may not be evident from the outside looking in though, because he is also reserved. He is introverted. He grew up an only child, so he is used to being by himself. He is used to processing his thoughts and emotions internally. Even though he has grown into a man, his behavior is he same as it’s always been.

If he walks into a party or any other type of social setting, he doesn't need to be acknowledged. He doesn't need to shake hands, say hello, or engage in any small talk. It's not that he thinks he is too good to talk to anyone, he just prefers being in the background observing the scene.

Initializing a conversation with a person or a group of people he doesn't know is something he would never do. He could see the same person-at the same spot-at the same time-every single day, and never say a word to them. Most of the time he is so consumed in his own thoughts that he may not even notice the other person. If they would ever end up speaking, he would be doing most of the listening, and not much of the talking. He is not trying to be rude, that's just how he is.

He loves being home by himself. He loves going to the gym, going out to eat, and going for drives all by himself. He loves being alone so he can think and process his thoughts without interruption. Now make not mistake about it, he loves being around his family and close friends. Those are the moments in life that he cherishes the most. No matter how good those moments are though, he still needs his alone time.

He understands his behavior may rub some people the wrong way, and he is trying to do some things to become a little more personable. He is still him though, so he is not going to change to the point where he compromises himself too much.

So if you see him in a room not talking to anyone, or catch him walking alone not acknowledging the presence of the rest of the world, try to remember that he is not conceited. Try to remember that he is not cocky or arrogant, and he is not thinking he is better than anyone else. He is just being him.

Trust me... I know him well. Hopefully one day you will get to know him a little better too.
