I started posting these doodles on Instagram a couple of months ago, as a spontaneous way to express how I was feeling. I was surprised that other people related to them so strongly. It tells me that I'm not the only introvert trying to find their place in an extroverted world.
I hope these comics reinforce to other introverts that, "Hey, you're okay. Just as you are."

Me At Parties
Introvert Create Worlds
As a games designer and an extrovert... not so much. And us extroverts aren't always upfront or taking charge - we're just usually fairly good or happy in engaging with new people. We often suffer just as much if not more anxiety that a typical introvert. All for introverts, and everyone expressing themselves - but we don't just rule things, and you all don't just create things.... it goes the other way too.
I consider myself an extrovert and I like writing, creating and painting too!
There are plenty of Extroverts who create world, we don't all troll! this is wrong.
Exactly. Extroverts troll, while Introverts like me create a whole fictional situation out of the troll!
Challenge Accepted
This is more a 'book lovers' comic - regardless of your outlook. Still good though
Do Unto Others
All Of It
Arriving At A Party
The true mark of an introvert is noticing the pen before reading the comic.
What Guy
That's me .......don't care about the guys ( no offence) It's the dogs to me
Grocery Shopping
I once spent a whole summer avoiding kids from my school at the public pool.....You won't believe how many fat people I hid behind XD lol
Always Judge Book Covers
It!s funny though. I nearly didn't buy a GREAT book because of its cover. I mean, really. Who the hell puts *this* cover on such a classic?! http://moly.hu/syste...vers_183144.jpg
I never listen to the blurb someone wrote about the book....I rely on my own intuition and info have about the author, if a person I really trust recommends it to me then it's something else, critics are null to me...and Hardcover all the way, YEAH !!!
Motion pictures are the worst. It was a book before it was a movie, let's keep it that way
Doesnt Dvtsk Work Well With Others. Does Dvtsk Like Cake
Yep.....Having to cope with all the idiots and bullies out there, which is 99% of humanity, I say PASS to that all day long !!!
Spot on - having worked from home as an ambi/extro, I found I got too distracted too often. Defo suits the introvert more.
Dating App
Wow I thought that I was weird because of that. This comic describes me so well. I'm comfortable with a tank top and sweat pants. My fantasy is writing,playing piano, and music. Lol, it's so hard to find someone who isn't into drugs and partying. 🙃 It's hard being a young adult and an introvert.
Change "mid-century modern furniture" to "unique bookcases" and "sign painting" to "calligraphy", and this would be me...if I were on dating apps, that is.
Don't Call Me
Because This
YES! This! I hate it when I actually try to engage in conversation and someone interrupts me. After 3 times, I just clam up again and don't speak for the rest of the day.
The f*n' thing is that these people don't learn from your clamming up... They are rude and just don't care :'(
Load More Replies...THIS!!!!!!!!! This is the exact reason why I became introverted!!!!!!!
I usually just walk off ...................they catch on pretty quick
Let's Stay In. Forever
Often Alone Rarely Lonely
Because we live in a world that favors extroversion and treats introverts as there's something wrong with it. See, we'd gladly shut up about it, but the extroverts won't stop badgering us about "going out more", "returning calls", or "meeting people".

Sometimes symptoms of the two are one and the same! I suffer from both... :/
Load More Replies...Not so cool - anxiety is a serious mental issue that shouldn't be conflated with 'introversion'...
Agree. Social anxiety. I would know. It can accompany introverts, though so still relevant I think.
Hi, I'm...
Attention On The Art
Oh god yeass. I want my arts to be appriciated and people gonna congrat me SOMETIMES but the others parts, well not so sure :/
My Spirit Animal
omg i love turtles and i think of them as my spirit animal and I'm an introvert! no joke! this post is perfect for me lol.
Books First And Always
Anti Stalker
saaaaame i figured out all the boys i thought were cute's schedules so I could avoid them......it made sense at the time, but when I think about it really hard i never really understood what I what i was trying to accomplish....Oh well! Introverts are strange creatures
Introverts are humans they just like being alone there’s nothing wrong with that >:(

yes, but going with him would be even worse, as you don't like crowds, the movie is probably boring and hey, there are so many interesting things to do at home! besides, would you really like to be with a person who goes out often? i used to be and it sucked.
Yeah... but, late night self-recrimination might be worse. At least try it once?
Load More Replies...Whoa! You love each other but win agree to go! This is not exactly introversion, introverts do hang out or go on dates SOMETIMES.

Maybe some people honestly feel as if they're as introverted.

Whenever my mom's work friends called her, she would always make me tell them that she was in the shower.
twist turn after reading last one ! it felt like she's 16 and a bookworm!

what kind if world do you live in ? they would have never found out, and even if they did it's illegal to dock someone's pay like that. obviously a lot more food goes through unpaid, since it probably wasn't the first time the cashier didn't look in a food box.

I have to say, english is not my first languaje and I really strugle with abbreviations, initias, what ever you call those :'(

How Not To Parent An Introvert
My mother would regularly ground me- I couldn't leave the "yard". That meant I was confined to an 886 acre audubon wildlife sanctuary and a pristine, unpeopled river. I'd disappear for days! (Turtles are our friends.)
My Biological Father once grounded me until my room was clean. I stayed grounded for a year.
That's what introverts WANT! That's an example of bad parenting. She doesn't know her kid.

Introvert Fashion For Dudes
For me it's cap, small beard, phone and headphones, water bottle (sip for no talk or dehydration problems , throw for distraction and quick escape attempt ) , laptop bag with chargers sunglasses books and sometimes laptop, pen in pants for possible use or as a weapon if a touchy happens, and trainers or boots focusing on atk or df respectively.

Trick Question
You Might Be An Introvert
Sharing moments of introvert life through doodles has resonated with many, highlighting shared experiences in an extroverted world.
For added insights and reflections on introversion, these captivating quotes beautifully encapsulate the essence of living as an introvert.
I'm introverted, but not that much. Many of these are truly about me.
I'm very, very introverted. People just don't "get it." I've had people tell me that I NEED to be around other people because I'm lonely... Excuse me, did I ask you to tell "how YOU perceive" me---I don't think so!!! GO AWAY!!!!!!!~
What do you call actually having plans and no one around is interested in any effort or interest in getting things done or doing anything worthwhile so just going your own way to try to find people who will and then not because everyone else wantsyou to do their thing of which you have no interest and they dont see how selfish this is because they have never had anything to do they they were stopped from doing.
Very cute drawings but these are definitely bordering on social anxiety. Social anxiety shouldn't be confused with introversion
