When you are an introvert, you are often haunted by the feeling that you are in a cage of your own consciousness. You don't want to communicate, you don't want to see anyone, you don't want to do anything. All you need is solitude, calmness, peace. You are in your fortress, but this fortress is also your dungeon. The feeling often haunts, as if the whole world is against you. You don't know what to do, what to think about, who you can trust, and all your thoughts are focused on fighting the world around you.
*thunder can be heard on the street, a downpour is pouring*
And here you are lying in your fortress-dungeon, bound hand and foot by ropes consisting of your own complexes, there is a beautiful collar on your neck, symbolizing your submission to the rules of this world, and you don't know, you can't say anything, you cant... And to whom?
