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

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...

Great article none the less..

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

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.

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😅 🤷‍♀️.
