After sharing some personal stories about being an introvert earlier this year I still had some things on my mind. Besides that, after getting so many sweet comments about my last post I know there’re people than relate to these introvert struggles. What’s better than sharing things and learn from each other at the same time, right?! I feel this is a bit of a tribute to all the introverts and give you an insight about my (and our) personalities. Being quiet, doing things differently or be quirky isn’t a bad thing and it just makes you unique. This is what I like to showcase on my blog and inspire others to embrace the so-called flaws.
People exhaust me / Crowded places, people who talk a lot & hard and super high energy people exhaust me. I can become so tired of being at crowded places and it makes me want to go back home as soon as possible and take a nap. I just need to turn things off, be alone and unwind. It’s me, not you that makes me feel like this. I’m just a battery that needs to be recharged once in a while.
Let’s be real / I’m that person that doesn’t have a bunch of friends and prefer to keep it with a few I know I can trust. I truly hate to act of being fine with some people while actually I really don’t like them or they’re just not the type of person I like to be around with. I’m one with my feelings and being fake feels so bad and wrong. So for me it’s still strange to see how people can act liking someone while actually totally not liking them.
Oh yes! I can be super social / …when I feel comfortable and surround myself with the right people that give me the feeling they appriate my personality. While introverts often are described as socially-akward people (which is totally wrong) it doesn’t mean we always are. I can become that happy, bubbly and high on energy when I’m in the mood and feel in the right zone.
But, I like to be alone / Yes, I like to be alone and I don’t mind. While being alone I can let my thoughts go, enjoy random things in life and just be myself. At a young age I already noticed this and I didn’t mind being alone all day or playing alone with my toys. Of course, I like to surround myself with friends but I mostly see them as something to enrich my life with.
I hate and love attention at the same time / On one side I really don’t like to be the center of attention with all the eyes on me and watching every word I say and every move I make. During these moments I would prefer to hide somewhere and not be present. But on the other side, when I know I did something good or made something I’m proud of I wouldn’t mind sharing this with the rest of the world. So actually I’m always in dubio about getting attention of other.
