I’m an introvert, which now
I am at ease with. I like spending days in my house by myself,
listening to music, reading books, or whatever else. I’m quiet when
I’m out, I don’t say too much to people, especially ones I do not
know. I like talking about deep and meaningful things, I’m not good
with small talk. I’d rather walk home than catch a bus or taxi, and
possibly have to make small talk with someone.
Like
I said, I am now at ease with being an introvert, and I actually
prefer to be an introvert, even if it means I’m less liked, so be
it. The people who I want to know the real me do, others I don’t
care about.
When
I was younger, I don’t think I even realised I was an introvert,
but I always have been, from childhood. I didn’t like being that
way, I used to try and be like others, more extroverted, hoping I
would be more liked. That was a mistake, you can’t be who you’re
not. So when I was younger, I was less noticed, which back then
bothered me. I thought, why can’t I be funny and be the life and
soul of the party. People are drawn to extroverts, they aren’t to
introverts. I hated that. But now, I’m fine with it.
I
want to be in the background, I want to sit and listen and learn. I’d
rather spend time in a quiet room than be in a room full of people. I
like being left alone. Us introverts have a different viewpoint on
things, we see things differently.
So
it’s fine being an introvert, it’s great to be an introvert, It’s
better than being an extrovert. It’s nothing to be embarrassed
about or to feel bad about. At least we don’t make ourselves look
like idiots in front of others.
If
there’s anyone who says you’re boring, because you’re quiet and
introverted, just tell them to fuck off. Be yourself always.
