I dont wanna go to that classroom again tomorrow . I dont have friends at school. I had some earlier but we all got divided into different streams. Everyday I go to my school without talking to anyone, spend all the 6 hours without talking to anyone and come back home with a feeling of dejection. I AM AN INTROVERT WHO WANTS TO BECOME AN EXTROVERT.


I feel you, wish I was sociable to others not just around my circle of friends. I advise you to maybe tell your school’s therapist? They can for sure let you transfer with your friends. Just hang in there.. I just think about school is only a 6 hours sleep from my comfort zone. 

Lonely

I feel like people on this site are introverted 🤔 I'm studying psychology, anyone have any thoughts/perception about introversion/introverts? 

Mental Wellbeing

Someone out there how is introvert and has so much in his/her just want to let it out sometimes but you nobody will understand the amount of emotions you have . 

Anxiety

How to be an extrovert? How  people bring topics to talk? Like I can talk to people for hours in text but I don't know what goes wrong with me whenever I talk to someone in person. 

Social Anxiety

I’m sitting alone in our apartment on the 7th floor. Just the sound of our refrigerator whispering. I’m cooking breakfast for my girlfriend who will arrive soon.

A year ago I wasn’t able to cope with being alone. I was a mess. I have always known I’m an introvert but I didn’t accept it. Throughout school I have seen myself as a failure socially. “It’s weekend. I should hang out with friends”. “Oh no. It’s new years eve soon, I have to find a party to go to”. I sort of enjoyed them once at the parties but I would still rather have stayed at home. I thought I was weird.

It wasn’t until I read “Quiet” by Susan Cain that I realized how wrongly society is set up for introverts. The scale between extrovert and introvert is long and people seem to be quite evenly distributed along the scale. Half of all people can be considered more or less introverted.

I was on a job interview a while ago. It was for a job as a salesperson in a large international outdoor store. The interview was set up as a group interview. Ten interviewees sitting around a table and two interviewers at the end of the table. The interviewer asked questions related to selling sports equipment and then we had to fight for a chance to answer. It was way out of my league.

I’ve been athletic my whole life, practising all kinds of sports ranging from sailing to cross country skiing. I’d been training quite professionally for years and had been representing my country abroad regularly. I thought I’d be quite well suited for this kind of a job. But there I sat and couldn’t even think clearly. With stress hormones up to the ears I was able to get a few answers out but I didn’t get the job.

That has nothing to do with serving a customer. Introverts don’t work like that. We are bad at improvising and talking to more than two pairs of eyes. In customer service it’s you and one or two customers. Your mission is to ask questions and be a good listener. To learn everything about the field and its products. That’s what introverts are good at.

I don’t know. That’s just what I’ve been thinking about today. I have learned to appreciate and love being alone. Then to spend quality time with one special person.

3am Thoughts

I'm an introvert. I have a real problem with sharing my problems. It gets real uncomfortable thinking of situations in my head, situation which I cannot share with my family and friends.
