Lemme tell you something,it's not always sunshine and roses if you are one(introvert). From 18 years of experience of being an introvert,this is what I've learnt.
1. Keep away from us,we are good listeners but won't really talk to you about our own things in life.
2. We are pretty good at making people feel lonely:- yes,if you are an extrovert or a person who likes conversation with people,introverts aren't the best people to be with.
3. Even if we talk to you,we need double the time to ourself to get over how much we socialized that day.
4. We(well I am) are avid readers,so might prefer completing a book than hang out with friends.
These are only some of the things that I feel as an introvert affects other people. If my experience is a good reference,others quite don't understand why we behave this way. People think it's weird that we do these things or "how can you stay without having social interactions".
As a teenager and an introvert,parents misunderstand us a lot. In my case not being an emotionally attached person also is a backlash. I sit in my room reading of listening to music rather than have conversations with my parents,peers or relatives who visit. It's weird as I feel it's a tiring job or my energy gets drained by talking. This habit has adverse effects on people's minds.
1. They think they don't care about you
2. It causes people to think you have an attitude problem.
3. Well yeah you are named as a rebellious teen.
These are again just a few things that bother Eco system around an introverted teenager.
So all I have to say in the end is that maybe the people around introverts need to understand a few behaviors that we exhibit. Maybe co operation is the only thing that might make it easier for people to get along. I guess acceptance as how you are is the only way possible to get out of the outcomes that cause the age old problems between introverts and extroverts.
Still trying to figure out how to decode the way to lead a harmonious life and still be the same way and not change myself.
If I find out I'll let you know!
Till then peace out! Let me know down in the comments if you face such problems or have any solutions to such situations. Yay opinions!
