Do you know people who are like coconuts? They seem unapproachable and cold when you walk up to them for advice. But once you have had a heart-to-heart conversation with them, you realise what a softie they are! Maybe they are scared to open up to the world, or they just don’t find it interesting enough, but whatever it is these coconuts are truly unique. I can say that with surety because I happen to be a coconut myself!

If you or a friend of yours is a coconut, then you’ll definitely relate to the following 11 struggles.

1. We are not unapproachable and cold with strangers. We just don’t believe in talking with everyone.



Call it being careful, rude, arrogant or someone with a lot of ‘attitude,’ but this is just they way we are. We don’t want to be available to everyone. We don’t want people to start expecting. We like keeping to ourselves as it helps us keep our life simple.

3. We are not unromantic; we just don’t know how to express our intimate feelings.



We are the bookish sort of romantic. But we feel scared to be judged. Once we warm up to someone, you’ll get to meet our honest, non-heartless side. From Ghalib to Nicholas Sparks, we’ll go to any extent to pick out their best verses for you.

5. We might appear disinterested in dating, but we want to be loved deep down.



It’s just that we are extra cautious about who we date. First dates really scare us. They make us nervous and restless, and that’s the reason we think it’s rather comfortable to not get involved with anyone. But every night, before we go off to sleep we hope to find the person of our dreams.
