I want to take some time out today to talk about the struggles of being an introvert .

I cant help but notice that it has become a trend these days where everyone says they are introverts just to get their five seconds of fame on social media . Most times they dont even know what it means to be introverted . The daily struggles and all so that’s what this post is all about ,

Being introverted is you not being able to wave that person you’ve saw enough times to count as an acquaintance because you worry that they wont know you or would even flat out ignore your greeting .

Being introverted is wishing on some days that you were small or even invisible

Being introverted is trying to find solace and companionship in anything ranging from books to other things because the fictional world seems more friendly than the real world

Being introverted is not being able to speak in a gathering because the voices in your head have already told you that you have nothing meaningful to contribute

Being introverted is not being able to look someone in the eye so instead you make it seem like you’re holding eye contact when in reality you’re looking past them

Being introverted is becoming friends with the voices in your head even though they dont reciprocate that same gesture

Being introverted is not being able to put yourself out there so instead you choose to be alone because it’s the safe option . So when you try to fall asleep every night it’s basically pointless because all you end up doing is thinking over the day and wishing you had done somethings better

Being introverted is associated with anxiety, overthinking and many more .

I want to correct the mindset that all introverts must be walk with their head down all the time. Being introverted is looking confident but deep down you’re shy .

Being an introvert I’m able to portray all these through my own lens .
