Wow.. this was eye opening. I learnt alot from this article given that my significant other is exactly as described in this introvert article. There's a thin line between facts and cockiness, to an narrow minded reader this may come across as cocky and shots fired at extroverts...
I had never really given it much thought but now that I have I realise an extrovert is defined as energetic which automatically places introverts in the confines of not being energetic. I disagree with this because I am an energetic introvert. VIVA introverts VIVA
🥲🥲 finally someone put in words what I've been struggling to explain 😭😭 thank you Bhekani.
Already shared it with my extroverted friends who constantly call me rude for not wanting to engage with random humans, and I tell them all the time that they can have conversations without me, I am grand this side🤣🤣🤣
This is interesting, not sure if I m an extreme introvert or I m something else , but I m the kind who enjoys my own company, to the extent of enjoying lunch/movie dates alone. I keep a small circle of friends and can chat and talk only so much, then I withdraw and plug my earphones.
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 💪🏾
I loved it mostly because I can relate, being an introvert myself and it is also well written with a good dose of humor! Will definitely be sharing it
Glad you liked it. Yeah, us introverts need to look out for each other. And people should just leave us alone lol
Hehehhehehe. You introverts are waging a war with us extros... Lol

Great article none the less..
Hahaha thank you. I'm glad you see it for what it is. And hopefully it will help you understand the wife a little more.
Yassss, you nailed it. Can totally relate. Great work bro.
Thank you bro.
Reading this article has made me realize that
there is nothing wrong with who I am. I'm not
going to try and change myself anymore just
to fit in . Extroverts just have to understand
that we are not the same and that's okay!!
Thankyou BK
Happy to help you gain that perspective.

✊🏽Yeah, there are so many misconceptions about introverts. You're energetic, I love being around people.

Good to know you're a fellow introvert. In my world, that's completely normal. You're not extreme at all.
Definitely what I have grown to learn!
