Introverts Don't Need To Be Fixed!

The world is always loud or that is what it seems especially for introverts. In any set-up there are different kinds of people and I bet all my life majority are extroverts.

Since they are more outspoken and engaging any gathering becomes too big and loud for any introvert. May atimes they will retreat to their usual self, isolate or quiet in a corner maybe minding their own business.

The problem is the extroverted characters won't stop talking and asking questions. Many wonder why are you not talking to people? Something wrong? Do you dislike people? Actually no! I really could love for people to understand that being the reserved one has nothing to do with having problems.

Introverts are simply different, the sooner people appreciated the difference the better.

It feels intrusive, judgmental and unfair for the most talkative characters always finding fault in the opposite.

Stop fixing introverts! Understanding will do.

Introverts and Career Development: Breaking the Myth of Self-Sabotage

Career experts still stress the need for networking, visibility, and self-promotion. Some say, "Stop being an introvert," as if introversion is a defect that needs to be cured. But introversion isn't a choice; it's not something one can simply decide to stop being. Introversion is a personality trait like being analytical or creative. And telling an introvert to stop being one is absurd, about as sensible as telling someone to stop being tall. Rather than trying to turn introverts into extroverts, this should be more about how introverts can handle their careers the best way. Many people will say that quiet and less aggressive introverts stand in their way. While exposure no doubt in ...

Why Introverts Feel Attacked by Unsolicited Comments

Have you ever been told, “You need to talk more” or “Smile more; people are scared of you” ? If you’re an introvert, you’ve likely encountered these comments at some point. While they may seem harmless to the speaker, they often feel like an attack to the person on the receiving end. But why? 1. Personality Isn’t a Choice Introversion isn’t something people wake up and decide to adopt. It’s a natural part of who they are—rooted in temperament, brain wiring, and personal experiences. Telling an introvert to be more outgoing is like telling a fish to climb a tree. It disregards their natural way of engaging with the world. 2. Unspoken Criticism Comments like “Talk more” or “Smile more” imply that something is wrong with how an introvert naturally behaves. This can feel like criticism rather than encouragement, making introverts feel misunderstood or unaccepted for who they are. 3. The Value of Authenticity True relationships are built on acceptance. People who genuinely know and appreci...

Introversion Isn’t a Trend: Understanding the True Meaning

One day while I was reading through Reddit I came across a concerned user about what she called ‘’Fake Introverts’’ This is what she said I am so sick of people saying “I am an introvert because I like to stay home and watch movies” and all that garbage. I am a college student, and in every class introduction, 80% of the students call themselves introverts even though they go to multiple parties a week, have a large friend group, are always in a relationship, and participate over the top in class. How am I, a person who is intelligent but super quiet and has few friends/relationships supposed to be grouped with those people? It is just annoying to hold back from yelling, “You’re not an effing introvert!” Actually I agree with this user in the sense that introversion isn’t a fashionable trend it is a personality trait and this you cannot fake. In today’s world, where labels and personality types are often flaunted as badges of identity, introversion has become a trendy concept. Ye...
