Introvert π
🕑 Added 2021-05-25 06:58:50 +0000 UTCI have been reading this book called "Quiet" by Susan Cain and feel more validated about my introvertedness lately. I definitely speak up more now and have a social life much more lively than before, but I still hold onto parts that I feel like are still valuable traits often associated with introversion. I sometimes still feel as though being a more social, highly energetic, happy person is society's ideal standard, but I feel more confident about challenging that idea lately as it has been nice to surround myself with others who value alone time, introspection, and being honest with their emotions. At the end of the day, introvert / extrovert / ambivert are just tags placed on groups of people and can never really define a whole person, but I hope that the power of "introversion" can be less looked down upon more in the future π§πΌββοΈ
