7 Things Your Introvert Friend Wants You To Know

Introverts

Introverts are often viewed as shy, reticent and typically self-centered people, but that is quite the misconception! Sometimes we can mask it pretty well though, and many would have a hard time believing I’m actually an introvert too. I was voted most talkative in my high school superlatives, I’m loud, I’m obnoxious and, let’s face it – I’m pretty hilarious too. However, that is only after I have gotten to know a person and my environment. Otherwise, I come off as the aforementioned shy, reticent type.

Being a blogger FORCES me to go out and network with people on a consistent basis, which gives the illusion that I actually like being in different social settings. The more I get to know different bloggers and artists, I’ve come to realize that many of them too are introverts, and those around them don’t necessarily know how to interact with them. Because we’re ALL tired of being asked “Are you mad?” and “What’s wrong?” a million times while we’re out with you, we’ve put together a list of some FYI’s so that you know what to do with your introvert friends and you can stop annoying us. You’re welcome.

I have been blessed to be surrounded by a loving family and the great staff here at LifeIsTremendez. There are some things in life I’m STILL trying to figure out. We have all had that time in life where we assumed we would be at a certain part in our lives at a certain age and…I’m no different. There are certain things I have yet to accomplish (not living on a futon in my parents basement is at the top of the list). However, I do feel at 23 there are a few things you should know how to do or at least have the desire to learn.
