I Am An Introvert…

What It Means To Be One Too

I am a classic introvert. I enjoy my own company, and I don’t generally get lonely or bored. I guess part of it comes from being an only child, but I know a number of introverts who have siblings.

SELF RELIANT

The thing is, as an only child, I didn’t automatically have other children to talk to or play with at home, so I had to rely far more on my imagination.

I am so grateful for that, because it has allowed that imagination to develop, which, along with reading lots and lots of books, has fed into my writing.

IT’S NOT A BAD THING

What I’m trying to say is that people often see being an introvert as a bad thing, but it isn’t. It is no better or worse than being an extrovert; it is simply different, and that’s okay.

EMBRACE IT

So take some time this week to embrace your inner introvert, because when it comes down to it, it is a big part of you, just as it is a big part of who I am.
