Well, that’s all for me today! Thanks for reading and have an awesome week everyone <3
As a shy (and introverted) person, I can relate to your post. One thing I want to point out, though, is that shyness and being introverted aren’t the same thing. Sure, there are overlaps, but the difference is that being introverted means preferring smaller groups of friends and getting more drained in high-energy environments, while shyness is feeling uncomfortable in public situations. I’d say that it’s worth working on one’s shyness, since it can be crippling when it comes to work or school, but being introvert is an innate part of you. Good post!
Thats very true! I’m a bit of both and think one affects the other especially when im attempting to not be shy 😅 Thanks!
Such a relatable post! I used to be shy and introverted. College helped me overcome by shyness for the most part, and now I’m just comfortably introverted. I still so relate to many of these qualities, though. Blushing easily and getting choked up during public speaking are bodily reactions I still can’t control (even when I’m so prepared), but it helps to laugh it off! By the end of semesters in most of my smaller classes with people who got to know me, everyone seemed to understand and that made it easier too.
That’s so true!! I definitly gravitated more to introverted than shy come college and because I was in a small program, public speaking got easier as the others got to know me 🙂 Thanks so much, I’m glad you could relate!
Oh god, the blushing thing! I had that so much growing up. If lots of people look at me, or if I’m trying to work out what to say, I automatically go red. It’s so annoying haha1
Saaame!! 🙂 glad you related!
You have an authentic that shines forth beauty 🙂
