There is a meta that lives in my head about Buffy, becoming an introvert, and her relationship with solitude/loneliness (and how all of this ties in with Spike). So you know I'm on the same page.

I think that does happen, changing like that. Probably there are some people who were introverted as children and grew into extroverts because they were forced to? But I know lots who were the other way around, like you.

I just love how deep her characterization is. And I don't understand how anyone can think Joss doesn't love her character--she's so real. She is a creation made from love. VELVETEEN RABBIT.

YES YES YES.
