one thing I don’t really like being an introvert is that I easily feel seriously humiliated when I do even one small mistake in public, and that feeling keep bothering me even for days.

it’s all pretty academic really because of the group constantly in the headlines, and being a happy introvert I’ve thought about this a lot – the extroverts aren’t necessarily greater in number, but they’ve got far, far, bigger mouths

So their world is the world we must go to immediately, and raucously, and it is us that has something lacking – and they don’t understand anyone that isn’t loud and in need of constant people/attention because it’s like asking a dog what it’s like to be a cat. Neither party is right or wrong but if one party is quiet and the other party never shuts up, who gets heard?

Our way to equality – is to speak up and shout out loudly – which is quite a nasty paradox seeing as we’re not wired that way! In other words, we need to become extroverts to get recognised as introverts! haha!

hi, i’m an introvert. i wasn’t really aware of my personality before that keeps me thinking who am i actually? and why i can’t get along with people like others? i felt burdened thinking about this. until i found that i’m actually an introvert. i feel rather happy after people around me can understand me then. but after i read more about introvert person, i tend to be more anti-social because i think it’s ok for me since i’m an introvert. but still i don’t think it’s the right way..

I’m an introvert, and I don’t think my personality is causing problems in my life. However, I much prefer to be alone than with others – and I do sometimes worry that I spend too much time alone. After all, isn’t life supposed to be about making connections with people?

Introversion does not entail that an individual wants to be constantly alone. Yes, introverts feel drained after large socializations due to their need to often put extra effort into it, but little or no socialization causes introverts to feel just as miserable as an extrovert who is cut from all outside contacts. Strangers are very tough to trust or get along with, and connections with friends have difficulties growing if I feel too different in comparison to them. It’s very strange, but the less meaningful contact I have the worse I feel every day. This sucks. -_-

Dear Kay,

You’re not alone! Many introverts wish they could change, because they think their personality traits are causing problems in their lives.

There aren’t any answers or quick fixes, especially since making friends at school can be especially difficult for introverts. It seems like the most popular kids are extroverts, and the shy quiet kids are nobodies.

I was one of those shy quiet kids, and I always reminded myself that most successful people are often introverts! That may not help you right now in school, but hold on to it for the future…

I hope it helps, and welcome your thoughts here or there.

Hi Laurie, thanks for your articles about introvert. My problem of being an introvert is that I have problem connecting with people. Every time when I go to school I see my classmates, I really want to talk to them and make friends. So I would say “Hi” but after that, my head is always blank I couldn’t think of anything to say. I don’t know how to make small talks. It always amaze me to see those extroverted people, they seem always can come up so many things to talk about while I always feel like I’m just a total blank… I don’t like to be an introvert. I hope I can be more outgoing. Is there any way to change?
