That is a HORRIBLE way to think of being an introvert! But in that I see more of my progress, because I now see being an introvert a GIFT! (This doesn't mean I can't be social when I don't want to by the way.)
I wouldn't have learnt half the stuff I know, I wouldn't be able to dedicate so much time to my business, working by myself, studying valuable material if I was a full on extrovert. I wouldn't have ended up questioning things like I have and wouldn't be where I am now.
Sorry if i offended you or anyone but i just see it that way.Most introvert folks have some form of social anxiety disorder or lower forms of autism.
I would love to have a nice conversion of toughts to words and not think "should i say this or should i say that or what should i say at all".Incovinient silence is the worst,it eats me alive.I tried being more communicative multiple times but everytime i tried talking a lot and hanging with folks it drained me! I start having a tiredness in middle of my chest like my soul is hurting.
There is a reason why most people never really change.Sure being an introvert has great benefits(most introvert folks are very artistic/creative/into out of box stuff etc..) but i just wish talking with people wouldn't be such a pain and that i could talk a lot/be around people without being drained.
