there is certain type of extrovert that seems to believe that if you are introverted or shy you haven't reached your full potential, like you're only a half-baked pie, waiting for someone to come "pull you out of your shell" (-_-)... i am not a flower waiting to bloom! i am not an unfinished garment! THIS IS THE DEAL! take it or leave it, don't try to shape things you don't understand into something you do. no one owes you their bared soul.

I also see people equate being quiet and reserved as thinking youre better than everyone else which always confuses me. Like, no idea how you got to that conclusion, but that’s definitely not how that works! coming from an extrovert

As an introvert I used to think we had a bad deal and that being an extrovert was obviously better, and then I thought about all the extroverts with no friends and I know that would be the hardest thing to be.

being told you ”completely lack confidence” because you are quiet is actually so devoid of vibes

choc_orange lmao what’s ironic is only a deeply insecure person would tell someone that

spud that is the million dollar question, i think in reality its a combination of me being intolerant to being micro managed and the sort of ppl who work at the jobs im applying for (angry evil chefs and micromanagers)

Love my introverts. You guys remind me it’s okay to just be and not always feel inclined to preform.

i love introverts for this exact reason, i NEED someone who has strict boundaries and protects their solitude 😤 please keep on keeping on bc a world (or even a room) full of extroverts gets too messy and too loud too quick

It’s too common to be comfortable in all situations these days. Nothing goes harder than a good awkward interaction between 2 people who don’t want anything to do with anyone.

”I’m this I’m that” how about you release yourself from your self-imposed psychological prison and just BE? Why don’t you let your brilliant heart, mind, and intuition lead you moment by moment? You ”know“ who you are?? I’m so sorry for you. When you stop questioning, you stop growing. To change is to live.

you don't owe beauty to anyone, not even to yourself. put aside the unrealistic standards that were imposed (directley or indirectly) on yourself. you came into the world to be more than just "pretty". you are intelligent, funny, interesting, creative...you are so much more than beauty! you came into the world to create, to inspire, to LIVE. ENOUGH OF BEING A PRISONER OF YOUR OWN BODY.

Nothing fills me with dread quite like the cry of "Let's play a game!" at any social gathering. Icy hatred drips down my spine at the mention of them. The yelling, the looking at me, the boredom, the rules I can't remember, the endlessness of each round, the heightened emotions... WHY CAN'T WE JUST TALK?! ESPECIALLY in a social gathering where I don't really know many people. I have seen people I love be transformed and distorted by their competitiveness into hateful screeching banshees. It's terrying. Maybe I'm too sensitive, I don't care. I don't have a competitive bone in my body. I genuinely do not understand how a board game is an acceptable space to yell at people. Being yelled at over something that couldn't possible matter less is WORSE than being yelled at for a proper reason. The worst kind of board games are the ones that involve performing. They make me want to jump out of the nearest window. I'd rather someone brought out a crack pipe than a board game at a party.

there are two kinds of people in this world: the ones who like tinned fish, and the weaker species.
