I think it's safe to say that everyone assumes extroverts are wayyy more fun to hang out with and as an introvert, i agree completely. But why do we also assume introverts are anti-social?
It's not fair at all. On the surface, we may seem like we don't enjoy being around people, but the truth is, we do enjoy hanging out, but only with the RIGHT company.
Extroverts survive on the energy from those around them. Without a group of people, they get bored easily. But we introverts, can entertain ourselves. Most of the time, they're just so many interesting things happening in our heads that we begin to forget we are supposed to participate in real life.
And the best part about being an introvert is that we spend more time listening, observing and thinking, which i'd like to think makes us smarter. Extroverts talk and talk and talk, mostly dreaming about things they want, rather than putting in effort to achieve it.
Introverts dream, realise and achieve.
To many, introverts are boring. Fair enough, I guess I would much prefer staying sober to watch your drunk asses embarrassing yourselves than actually joining this mad fiasco. But once you get comfortable with an introvert, it's like stepping into Narnia. Inside the brains of an introvert, lies a world of fascinating thoughts. And you'll be surprised, we can be pretty cool people too. It's like a secret we feel safe to tell and that secret is our personality.
Honestly, I love being an introvert. In fact, I have no problems with it, not even in the slightest. The issue is, if it's not a big deal to me, why should it be to you?
If me being quiet bothers you, why don't you find someone else to talk to?
Why, in the eyes of society, does it deem wrong to be an introvert?
Not long ago, someone told me they were going to "fix" this about me. And immediately, I said, being who i am isn't something that needs fixing. Being an introvert, isn't a problem to be solved, it's not a mental disability, and it definitely isn't a weakness!
As introverts, our confidence is quiet. We feel better proving ourselves through the things we do, instead of the things we say. At least it shows we are capable of taking action, instead of spitting empty words.
We might lack the ability to socialise, but our tolerance towards the bullshit around us is certainly wayyy better.
