No matter how social and friendly we claim ourselves to be, every one of us was an Introvert at some point in his life. And honestly, being an introvert isn’t that bad. In fact, referring to an article that I recently read, studies show that introverts tend to be more energized than extroverts from spending time alone.
I’m an introvert! And I am proud of being so. Hey! my introvert family out there, here are a few things you can totally relate to.

1. Thinking to yourself 24X7

I really don’t like to talk much. Instead, I remember myself thinking all day long about things that either I have to say or I should have said in the past. I speak out only 30% of the things that I really want to. And most of the times, this is probably because I’m afraid of getting judged by the person whom I am talking to.

2. Trust- issues

When was the last time you blindly trusted someone? I can’t even remember when I did so. Every time I come across a new person, there is this war going inside my head constantly, to trust him/her or not. Even though the person you meet seems to be friendly and caring and stuff like that, you always have this fear of ‘What if she misunderstands this?’ ‘Should I tell him this?’ ‘What if he starts spreading rumours?’ So, you automatically don’t have this huge group of friends, sharing stuff and hanging out all the time, because duh, friends share secrets. You however, decide to keep your secret, a real secret.

3. Left-out

So, we have this group of classmates and there’s a discussion going on. No matter how hard we try to mingle along, there’s something that keeps us out of it. And I agree that many of us are successful in ‘being a part of the group’, but this is just what I’ve experienced. So, suddenly in the middle of the discussion, you feel left out. Maybe that is because you can’t speak things out easily and then bump! You feel left out.

4. Loving yourself

Here comes the best part! While most of the extroverts are busy making new buddies and creating a socio-friendly lifestyle, we introverts are happy with what we have and that is, us. Since the person we talk to the most is none other than ourselves, we learn to love ourselves. We couldn’t deny this, at the end of the day, the one best friend we are left with is us. And as they say ‘Self-love is the best love.’

5. You develop a love for art

Well, not in every case, but in most of the cases introverts tend to develop a love for art. This often happens when you have a lot to say but you couldn’t. Writing and painting being the most common ways to express yourself without actually saying things are worth a try! You do so by maintaining a diary, writing little notes to yourself, letters, painting, sculpting and doodling.

6. You have your special ‘Savage spot’

Now that you don’t open up to everyone, you always have this one place where you go when you feel lonely or depressed. There is something about this place that somehow makes things easier for you. This spot doesn’t necessarily be a place, it could be your favourite song, it could be your favourite movie or your favourite book.

7. The thought of being an extrovert

At some point in our introvert life, we all have thought over this at least once, ‘why can’t i make friends?’, ‘Maybe I should give this a try.’ Extrovert isn’t really talking to everyone all the time. It’s just the thought of being socially confident. Sounds easy? Well not that hard too. You think of starting this task with a bunch of people you think you can talk to and then gradually growing. Coming out occasionally isn’t that hard, so you finally start making friends. You realize that despite of being a total introvert, you end up being the best version of yourself when you are comfortable with someone. It just takes time and patience. But, you must know this for once, no matter if you are an introvert or an extrovert; you must take pride in whomever and whatever you are.

So, here you are. And, you’re not alone. There are millions like you out there, fighting with themselves, trying to come out and reach this world. Accepting people as they are could only help introverts to come out quicker.
