Definitely what I have grown to learn!

I have always been aware I was an introvert, I just didn't have the word for it, so I termed it "lone ranger ". Small talk really gave me so much anxiety because it felt like a drain. Have gone through a lot of social awkwardness in many spaces. I don't know exactly when but came to a point where I accepted that *introvert is totally OKKAY* I do not have to work towards being an extrovert to blend in😅 🤷‍♀️.

Yeah, I think there are many introverts who go through life thinking there's something wrong with them. Especially because we live in a world where if you're the quiet type you're continuously being encouraged to be more outgoing and to be more sociable, etc. And unfortunately sometimes we do have to push ourselves to be that way to be taken seriously, it's frustrating. But glad to hear you've made peace with who you are 💪🏾
