Being an introvert comes with many struggles.
But introverts often internalize their problems
mainly because they don't want to be misunderstood
more than they already are.
We want you to know that you are not suffering alone.
Here are 5 problems only introverts understand.
1.When you really need to be alone for a while,
but you're afraid to tell your friends
to leave you alone
because you don't want to hurt their feelings.
Even if you phrase it in a friendly manner,
how do you know they won't feel offended?
It's always a hit-or-miss situation.
Especially if you have highly extroverted friends
that always want to hangout.
Although they can be understanding and supportive,
they may go home feeling stifled, bored
and low-key rejected.
You enjoy their company and always have a blast
when you get together.
But you can't help the fact
that your battery drains quicker than theirs.
As a result, you constantly torn
between taking care of yourself
versus keeping your friends happy.
2.When someone you don't know
tries to engage in small talk
and your answers are simple
and to the point.
You're already cringing because it's a small talk.
But hearing yourself present simple answers
that don't add any flair to the conversation
makes you feel even worse.
It's a sinking ship
unless you quickly do something about it.
As a result, you're often torn
between taking action
or let the conversation fade until the person gets the hint.
Either way, it adds pressure on you
to make the decision,
which is incredibly frustrating.
3.You've been invited for multiple parties
and now you actually have to go
because you have given too many excuses.
You've already used the flu,
house chores, family death,
and your other plans as excuses.
But how many more times you can use them
until they lose their credibility?
So now you feel obligated to attend
because you don't want to come up rude
or insensitive to your friends' invitations.
You try to relax and have fun
but after a while,
things get to overwhelming.
Half way through the night,
you try to come up with excuses
to leave early.
Sometimes, you wonder if you should have
enlisted yourself in acting school.
You do anything to experience
that will relief the curling up in your bed,
just to get away from it all.
4.Presentations.
'nuff said:
Although introverts can be some of the best
motivational speakers and move people with their words,
Sometimes, getting up in front of a large crowd
can be highly intimidating,
especially for those who are identified
as anxious introverts.
Doing presentations often feels out of their element
because they don't enjoy being
a center of attention.
So when they find themselves in a spotlight,
their worst nightmares are breathed into life.
Generally, introverts prefer making things
happen behind the scenes
and would rather observe in the sidelines
in stead of actively participating.
Although it may seem like
they aren't doing much in the surface,
they actually have rich inner lives
that are usually more fulfilling than everyday life.
5.People you just met
think you're self-absorbed or stuck up
because you don't talk or share
your life stories right away.
You're not used to revealing
so much about yourself right from the start.
You're not trying to be mysterious
or play hard-to-get on purpose.
It's just not your cup of tea
to be so readily transparent.
It takes time for you to warm up to others.
You wanna make connections and belong
just like anyone else,
but it is a slow gradual process.
As a result, others may consider you
aloof or stuck up,
but you're actually just waiting
for the right moment to open up.
