Hello~

I’m an introvert as well! I’m sorry you hate that trait though. I see what you mean by it. It can be tricky sometimes. I’ve met many other introverts on here though. I feel it has helped me to be around other like-minded people. Since we can encourage, support and relate to one another.

I hope you can find it just as helpful here<3 Welcome and glad to have you here!💜

I've decided my new years resolutions is to improve my communication skills. So I'm not so quiet.

I noticed lately I can go an evening without saying a word when we have company.

I have a hard time talking to my husband and kids. I don't know what to talk about.

I'm a huge introvert as well... I get what you're going through ❤️ It can sometimes get tough. But hey, if it makes you feel any better... introverts are like a slow website that is the coolest once they open up, and extroverts are more like pop-ups. :)

welcome, NeonBunny. Very relatable post. I am an introvert, too, an INFJ in the Meyer-Briggs personality typing system. I have to be extraverted in my job but when I am done for the day, I go home and am very happy being alone there to recharge. I used to wish I could be more outgoing and be able to make conversation with strangers and have 100 friends like some extraverts seem to do. And I am very deliberate in how I respond, very thoughtful in my comments and answers, and sometimes the extraverts can't handle that and are flitting off to interact with someone else. Their loss! :)

I hope you will find ways to grow more comfortable in your own skin, with time.

Hi NeonBunny! When I was growing up, I had a lot of issues with depression and was very introverted and shy. I didn't know then what I know now. I know some people wondered what was wrong with me. Now it took many many years for me not to dislike myself for not being outgoing or like somebody else. Not everyone can be an outgoing person or an extrovert. GOD made us all different for a reason, and introverts are just as worthy as extroverted people. I was always comparing myself with someone else, and that's a receipe for miserable living. Support from therapy or friends is a great help. Don't give up on yourself, I never did.
