The Internet does not have an access to Happiness

"Autumn is the hardest season. The leaves are falling and they're falling like they're falling in love with the ground"

Andrea Gibson
   Most people feel ecstatic and delighted with a defolation, other feel depressed and frustrated, because the nature slowly dies.
   Mind you, there are some persons, who aren't able neither cheer up nor upset with something. They're always staying at home and are as quite as a mice
   Octon wasn't an exception. All his time he spent sitting at the laptop. He lost his temper when mother or sister demanded to leave it up. The laptop was his sense of elation. 
   By watching funny videos he reduced his stress; by listening to calm melodies he became relaxed. Octon also was brilliant at playing computer games. A lot of wins made him as proud as a peacock. By any large, if it's possible to talk about relationships between a computer and a human, these two were in love.
   One day, there was a problem: the Internet was inaccessible. Octon turned appalled! He had a red face and sweaty palms. It seemed like an apocalypse. Octon was hysterical.
'Calm down!' - was begging his a sister.
   Without saying a word Octon went to look out for a free Wi-Fi networks. Virtual life had a great impact on him. 
   Walking through a parc with his laptop he unintentionally bumped into a girl. Her name was Octobrice. She amused herself by collecting leaves and dividing them according to shades. If Octon's laptop had feelings, he would become jealous of him.  It was love at first sight. 
    Later, on their weeding it was an inscription: "Don't look for happiness in the Internet. Go out and it's possible that you'll find it - sitting on the closest bench".

Body language. A way my groupmates speak it

When you are in a live-action movie, you have so many more options to express yourself. You can use your body and your gestures.  When you are doing an animated movie, you really only have your voice.
Jesse Eisenberg


   Every day you observe people's behaviour. It is accompanied by different combinations of movements. What do they mean? Let's make it clear to avoid a misinterpretation.
My group consists of students who are as different as chalk and cheese. They all have individual tempers and display their feelings in many ways. I tried to look out for these ways.
   Yaroslava is a confident girl, who always keeps eye contact.
She's ambitious and this proverb ideally reflects her lifestyle: Practice makes perfect. 
   Hanna is the most contrast personality in our group.

I've noticed that she often pulls her hair when she is impressed by something. One of her bad habits is biting nails while worrying. But her good qualities compensate it. She's never out of sight, out of mind. Live and let live - that's her motto, I suppose.

   Olga is a kind of a girl who always has her head in the clouds.When suddenly someone lowers her down she goes red. It's not necessarily that she's angry. It means that she dissatisfied with coming back to reality.

   Olena's body language is almost silent. It's hard for me to distinguish some particular gestures she often uses. When she's shocked she raises her eyebrow. While Olena is thinking about something she scratches behind the ear.  In the future I will be more observant, because "the more the merrier":)
   Julia is full of beans. While talking she uses excessive hand gestures.  In any case, they only make her "speech" more colourful.

   Regarding to me. As a matter of fact, I use a wide range of gestures, especially hand ones.  But I never notice it. Everything happens subconsciously. When I'm worried I have sweaty palms, during the presence of a person I like, my cheeks go red.
   In any case, it's impossible to express our feelings without gestures. As I was saying, they make our body language more eloquent. Open up and speak your mind! ;)

Everything is OK with me – I’m just an introvert

Almost every day I hear these questions. I’d be glad to oppose them but the world doesn’t allow. It needs an answer. Sometimes it seems to me that there is no place for introspective personalities in the society: “Only extraverts will survive”.
Life requires to convert all emotions and don’t hide them. If you do so, you’ll badly impress other. Because of it, I feel oppression.
I’m a kind of a human, who composes thoughts and experiences in a head and heart accordingly. I’m incapable to produce it aloud. That’s why the majority negatively evaluates me. Often it makes me feel depressed.
Introverts can’t be pseudo-emotional and force themselves to show an “internal filling”. It’s better for them to be misunderstood than to be fake. Inner monologues are eloquent.
Being an introvert, I don’t have a purpose to disconnect from the whole world, I just want it not to unwrap me.
You may disagree, but introversion nowadays is a kind of a disease.  The world nourishes by active and expressive. It hates weakness and sadness.
Will introverts survive on the Earth? That’s the question…
