How to Love Your Introvert

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bfh_mRA5B6A

Urban Dictionary definition of an introvert:

"Opposite of extrovert. A person who is energized by spending time alone. [...] Contrary to popular belief, not all introverts are shy. Some may have great social lives and love talking to their friends but just need some time to be alone to "recharge" afterwards."

the text: I sometimes get lost in youtube videos of slam poetry jams for hours at a time

* The video is typical for the genre of slam poetry in how the performer speaks and does hard gestures that add to the content of the poem

* The content of the poem is atypical for the genre because they tend to be about social/controversial issues and this poem is less serious

* It initially address the struggle of being an introvert but turns into a way for the speak to say "I love You"

* the tone is the casual as he makes jokes

* the intended audience was probably the person he was saying "I love you" to, but the consequential audience is everyone else in the audience and online watching

* a potential complication is that this guy calls himself an introvert but then reveals something about a private relationship to a group of people as a romantic gesture
