Being an introvert is really tiring because not everyone understands how you feel, or rather they never ask how you feel. I'm the type of introvert that is shy and anxious around strangers and I try to limit my interactions with the world as much as possible.

I think the best way to describe me is "I don't hate you, I'm just not excited about your existence, but you do you fellow stranger. Let's just mind each other's business"

But often times, I'm met with situations that I can't escape where I need to, you know, talk my way out of something, do a freaking presentation (this one is terrfying yikes), and the cherry on top, oral exams (ugh I hated those).

but the thing is, when I panic about one of those situations, no one tries to understand why you're so nervous and instead my bro and my mom always scold me for being that way. They tell me the same talk you hear everywhere and I truly appreciate their concern but I also would like them to understand me a tiny bit and maybe then I could make small baby steps towards betterment.

so yeah, people take social problems so lightly in here. I've always been called shy and reserved since I was a kid so nothing new, really.

I just wish it was so easy for us, socially awkward peeps, to change and be more comfortable in the outside world.

*sigh* life is a mess as an introvert. (and don't get me started on the "there's nothing to panic about" as if that's supposed to make you feel better lmao. oh well)
