Being an introvert in a world that propels you directly onto the stage is not easy. Learn to enjoy the things that make you special. They do not take you away from people, they bring you closer.

Despite their apparent calm and silence, introverts face several problems daily that do not always make sense to others.

Today, the world in which we live encourages socialization more and more and forces us, at a certain level, to take a step forward, so that everyone else can notice our presence.

It is important to be able to make an impeccable first impression, which will create a strong impact on as many people as possible. Theoretically, this is the recipe to integrate more easily in social groups, at work, and to create a good impression even in front of your own family, in certain circumstances.

In such a situation, you might think that you are the only person who is facing serious problems when it comes to interacting with other people, but this is not the case. There are introverts everywhere who can understand very well what you are going through.

Many of them made considerable efforts to overcome their fears, others met the right people and were appreciated at their true value without any special effort.

No matter what struggles you face, the people who matter will want to discover you and will always appreciate you for who you are. However, there will be some battles that only you will be aware of and that you must face in preparation. Here are some of them:

You don't feel appreciated

It often seems to you that you go unnoticed by others. You don't like to stand out and sometimes you don't feel like you have anything to say. Sometimes you don't even have the energy to talk.

On the other hand, you want the jurors to be curious enough about you so that they want to get to know you and take the first step.

You get lost in the conversation

When you meet new groups, you make every effort to make a successful first impression, trying to be as sociable as possible.

However, because having a conversation is not your strong point, it often happens that you lose the focus of those you talk to and get stuck trying to save the situation.

All these things give you a bad mood and make you lose confidence.

You consider that you should only speak when what you say is perfect and indisputable.

Avoid talking too much because you have the impression that what you say is not important and that you do not want to experience the feeling of uselessness.

You feel like you have to say important and profound things every time, and you feel a lot of pressure when you do that.

This attitude complicates your situation even more, especially when you leave the group and have a discussion with one person.

You don't like talking on the phone

If until a few years ago, you could choose not to answer the landline, hoping that someone else will, in the age of mobile phones you find it increasingly difficult to do so.

You're the kind of person who prefers to talk through messages, just to avoid a phone call, even if you are aware that you could solve the problem much faster this way.

The intimacy of a phone conversation scares you, even if it's about formal conversations with people you don't know.

You hardly recover after every public appearance

You don't like the events where you have to stand out, nor the parties where you could get lost in the crowd.

Large gatherings consume you mentally, and the body begins to show obvious signs that it is not okay. This is how, after such an outing, you can get home with headaches and advanced fatigue.

All you want is to go back to your daily habits and to the time you spend alone, doing what you love.
