The Truth About Life as an Introvert
In all seriousness, I want to remind you that there is nothing wrong with being an introvert. I know, we joke with funny quotes like these and make fun of our seemingly “un-fun” selves, but I think we all need that reminder from time to time.
Our extroverted society seems to run the show and I think I speak for many introverts when I say that it’s easy to feel like an outsider when you’re an introvert. Being introverted we enjoy spending time alone with our own company while we recharge, and we don’t need to hit every party over the weekend to feel alive.
If you’re my kind of introvert, odds are you feel more alive sitting outside watching the clouds with a good book alone than you do surrounded by acquaintances at a party. It’s just the way we roll and it’s not a bad thing at all.
Remember that we are all doing this life thing the only way we know how, and we’re all just trying to get by. For us quiet people, that often means spending time alone. Or my favorite, spending time alone with another person spending time alone.
Do you also love sitting with your best friend or partner in silence while you do separate things? It can’t just be me. I think a true introvert would agree.
If you are in fact a true introvert, you might enjoy:
- avoiding small talk at all costs
- tossing your phone across the room to avoid phone calls
- praying for a cancellation notification to the social gatherings saturday night
- limiting social interaction to 1 maybe 2 times per week
- making any room an escape room
- canceling on that talkative hairdresser
- being a good listener not a good talker
- avoiding social situations where you might be forced to stand and talk
- NOT being put incharge of social obligations
Now, that doesn’t mean we don’t value close relationships, it just means we need time lost in our own inner world to function. That is the only thing I wish people on the outside took the time to understand a bit more. That we need that free time to recollect ourselves so we can in turn be our best selves.
I think a common misconception about introverts, though, is that we don’t enjoy spending time with others at all. Now that isn’t true. We do. We just need alone time just as much, sometimes more, than we need time connecting with others.
The highest form of love you can give to a pure introvert is the act of valuing that.
Alone time is a must when you’re an introverted soul and the best introvert quotes shared in this post make fun of that because what are you if you’re not making jokes about yourself? The best thing about us quiet folks are the jokes.
Raise your 4pm iced coffee cup up and let’s make fun of ourselves with this giant list of the best funny introvert quotes!
