Is it bad to be an introvert? What you folks think? Life is difficult when you are an introvert that is true.
In my upbringing, people around me always humiliated me by saying “you don’t talk, you don’t attend any family function.. blah blah..”. Still going through this trauma. I tried to become an extrovert. That gave me unnecessary stress and anxiety problems. I hated visitors even though it is my close friends. I always loved my personal space. Initially I never know there is something called introvert and these are the characteristics of an introvert. I always thought something wrong with me. Even in schools I had tough time. As a 90s kid we dont have much exposure to social media when we were teenagers. I realized all these things in my early 30s. That too, social media helped me alot, folowing genuine people and reading and relating to their post helped me alot. People started speaking what they feel instead of hiding these little things.
Found out my elder one is also an introvert. And I know she will be judged everytime she makes a move. But we can’t change a person’s basic character. People around her started saying “you will become a bad girl if you don’t talk”. And she is confused she is asking me “Amma what I need to talk, i have nothing to talk”. I feel helpless sometimes. I try my level best to clarify this talking thing.
Talking and bad/good thing are not at all related. You can do what you like to do, if you want to talk, then talk , if you don’t want to talk then don’t talk, simple. Life is too simple don’t try to make it complicated. Knowing when to talk and when not to talk is definitely an intelligence. You should work on that. We are not living for anyones good or bad certificate we are living for ourself. There will be people who will point out or see only the negative you have in your life even though you have 100 postives. Yes such people exist. They will try to put you down in several ways but never fall prey for them. She is just 5 not sure whether she understand these things. Wish, life won’t get tougher for her because she is an introvert.
May be people think or fear introvert being mysterious and unpredictable. Because they keep everything private they won’t share there feelings. So they try to put down people. Children, teenagers and people in their 20s are the main prey for these people. Because age matters, people are more vulnerable in young age and that time there will be many insecurities. Not sure when people stop judging people and focus more on their own life. Be optimistic.
Sending love to all my introvert followers ❤
