One of my most prominent traits is that I am intensely introverted. I tend to find more joy in solitude than I do in the company of others. I’m not shy, and I’m not lonely. I don’t need anybody’s empathy. All my life, I, along with all other introverts, have been told that there is something wrong with me and I needed to change who I was, and that would make me “better”. But contemplating upon myself, I decided that just because I’m not “normal”, or in the majority, it doesn’t mean that I am broken. I just happen to thrive in a different environment than the larger portion of the population. I would like for extroverts to stop wanting to fix my introversion. Just because I am alone doesn’t mean I’m sad, and just because I’m quiet doesn’t mean I’m boring. I believe that letting introverts free to socialize (or not) as we please will allow us to be more productive and much happier.
