Being introverted isn’t about being weak, it’s about understanding what makes you strong.
I never felt like those terms applied much to me.
On the opposite end is the extrovert, one who is energized more by social interaction.

They are outgoing and thrive on being among larger groups of people.
They have a tendency to feel restless or isolated when they have too much time to themselves.
Embrace your introverted nature.

It took me a long time to accept.
Many times I tried to pretend to be someone who would be the life of the party.
Every time I tried, it felt incredibly forced and it drained the life out of me.
Im not enjoying myself.
Finally I started to realize that I didnt have to be an extrovert to be cool or well liked.
I didnt have to be outgoing to have fun.
I never have to pretend to be someone Im not.
I decided to have the audacity to be an introvert in this very extroverted world.
When you embrace your true self, others will too.
Understand that its a blessing, not a curse.
When you are introverted, you are going to spend a lot of time being by yourself.
This is time you will have to think, plan and strategize for your success in the future.
I have to agree.
Ive independently studied psychology, social issues, philosophy, and many other subject matters.
The point here is that you dont have to see yourself as a victim of being introverted.
Its not a disability.
Its an excellent opportunity to become self actualized and make it work for you, not against.
Dont apologize.
We say this because we dont want our friends and family to think we are being rude.
But I wonder, why are we sorry, really?
Introverts cant help the way they are.
Our brains are just wired to be this way.
The people who truly care about you should already understand and accept this.You dont have to apologize.
Set boundaries with your personal space and time.
Everyone has the right to create and enforce boundaries for themselves.
In particular, dont be afraid to tell people no.
They can either deal with your boundaries or theres the door.
Have a mission.
The thing Ive struggled with as an introvert is being heard and communicating with confidence.
Create an objective and find your unique voice.
Dont listen to your critics.
A lot of people dont understand introverts.
Ive heard that Im anti-social, a homebody, a hermit, etc.
You are going to hear a lot of judgments and assumptions about your character.
They might give a shot to convince you that you gotta change, but you dont.
