I resonate with this so much! Introvert love 💫 I also recently wrote a similar piece called Confessions of a Quiet Soul, which talks about learning to love yourself and your quiet ways, despite the world being so extrovert-friendly. Feel like it matches with this piece well! 💖

Thanks for this celebration of introversion!! Personally hate the fact that we live in an extroverted world and there r days where I wish I’m an extrovert… but being an introvert is so cozy and comfy for me ;-;

Thank you for sharing this post. I really resonate with the point about feeling underestimated. It has made me feel discouraged at times, but I also kind of love being a little bit mysterious and surprising people when they discover a side of me they weren’t expecting. This was a great read!

I found fragments of myself in every word of this. As a teenager, I was often frustrated with myself—why wasn’t I more outgoing, more like everyone else? Interestingly enough, I’ve always been drawn to extroverts as best friends or partners. Now, in my mid-thirties, I’m quite content being an introvert and wouldn’t change it for anything.

Like you, I find the introvert/extrovert dynamic so fascinating. Where does it come from? Why do some people seem to shift between the two later in life? Were we always meant to be the way we are now? Anyway, I absolutely loved this post—thank you for sharing <3

Great piece! I like to think of myself as an introverted extrovert and I relate to much. I hope the next generations learns how impactful an introvert is in a world that caters to extroverts.

I feel exactly the same! It took me years to accept my personality, but at this point I wouldn’t change anything. Beautifully written piece 🤍
