Post #1 Being an introvert is being myself

I feel I am an introvert who usually spend time alone and love to do that. People often misunderstand about an introvert, and how he treats other people. They think they do want to be social and don’t like humans. I feel the assumption is quite a wrong notion because introverts can be a great extrovert if they feel comfortable.

However, I don’t feel there is a pure introvert or extrovert exists. At some point, both may interchange or not. And of course, introverts are unique and not necessarily match the qualities of another introvert.

Some introverts qualities are entrenched, while others come from their culture and their living environments. They will be in a world where they can find a vivid imagination of what they really want. However, I have been confronted with many criticizes that made some days of my life miserable. I even didn’t know when I was a kid that a person so called introvert is living in my brain.

I used to wonder why I love being alone watching sky or reading books. Many people usually like to go outsides and make friendships and have fun. But I search my happiness in books, or any shows, and I used to have only one single best friend at a time, and no group friend thing is maintained so far.

I thought I was lazy to go outside and have fun with friends when I was a kid. But later I got to know that those things that outside people do are not my cup of tea, I am little different. Therefore, I finalized my character as an introvert. Sometimes I have been criticised by my loved ones who do not understand why I don’t like me being an extrovert.

If you are an introvert, you would probably relate to my views of how I concluded that I am introvert. First, the important thing is you enjoy being yourself which is being alone and spend time with yourself. I remembered that during my college breaks or school breaks I never used to go outside to play, instead, I used to sit behind and listen to music.
You would like to do your work alone. You wish to study alone. It does happen to me. I usually want to go to work myself and work alone. And if I get any doubts about any topic in project, my first preference is to study books for the detail or search on the internet. I feel wrong about this, but I love to be myself.

You want to be alone when you are emotionally hurt. I usually write something in a book when someone hurts me or if I am in an angry mood. I feel book is my best friend and I can share my miserable feelings writing down.

These are the only few things which made me conclude I am an introvert. Being an introvert could be more advantageous as we give creative solutions to the most challenging problems, I believe. However, being an extrovert is really cool, I suppose. And everything is unique in its own way.
