Hey! I am glad that you liked this as I also consider that introverts are misunderstood and judged harshly in a world that praises popularity to the extreme.
Well you are not alone as there are millions of other introverts just like you who prefer it this way. For example I also prefer sometimes to eat alone at a restaurant and I have seen certain looks from people who consider eating alone an oddity. Why? I see it as a sign of self love. I care about me enough so I would pamper myself whenever I feel it necessary and go out on my own. There are plenty of people who hang out in big groups and often enough some members of that pack are on the side, barely noticed, invisible, as others take charge and talk all the time. Solitude while being with other people is worse than time alone chosen consciously.
I have accepted quite late my introvert personality as I struggled to fit it and pretend I am an extrovert when really I was not. Now I embrace it and realize the beauty of not having to waste energy to please people I do not connect with. Introverts have the power to give up the worldy world in other to gain time for thinking about more spiritual things. This is a bonus I now know to appreciate. I would be depleted of energy if I would have to talk all day with dozens of people, if I would allow my phone to call past my schedule, if I would say yes to everybody. Introverts can say no faster than extroverts as there is no need to please others as we take our energy from other sources
Thank you for watching my fellow introvert hahaha, have a great day!
