Day One of the WomenLoveFest

For the womenlovefest:

I had little time and energy, so I will do a repost of a comment I made elsewhere and an image spam for the first day.

So Buffy's a girl who tends to keep things to herself more often than not over the years, has few friends, drifts apart from them soon in the show, and tends to be emotionally dependent on one or two people at a time, usually her love interests.

I think it's possible that she had some introvert leanings from the beginning, and learned really good social skills as a way to live up to a goal she had for herself -popularity- and then a lot of crap happened to her.

I never thought of it that way, but that makes complete sense. Buffy does display a lot of traits of introversion, and they only get more pronounced over the years as she loses the desire/energy to put up a social and perky facade.
