    Introverts are probably one of the most misunderstood personality types out there. They get labeled as shy, antisocial, awkward, or just plain unfriendly.

    And while some introverts might relate to parts of that, the stereotypes have gotten a bit out of hand. There is a lot more to introversion than wanting to stay home and avoid people.

    One of the biggest myths is that being introverted automatically means being shy. It doesn’t. As psychologist Bernardo Carducci explained to the American Psychological Association, shyness is more about feeling anxious or self-conscious in social situations.

    A shy person and an introvert could both be standing against the wall at a party, but for very different reasons. The shy person might really want to join a conversation but feel too nervous or unsure how to do it. The introvert might be perfectly relaxed where they are and simply have no desire to mingle more.

    Usually when asked something along this vein, my mouth opens and some sort of nerdy fact about dogs, cats, dog breeds, or cat coat color genetics comes out. No one normal wants to know those things. No one cares that gray cats are actually black cats genetically but just with a dilute gene. No one cares that Rottweilers were first bred to pull carts centuries ago in Germany. Yet those kind of facts take up 99% of my brain XD

    The same goes for the idea that introverts don’t really like people. They definitely can. It may just take them a little longer to open up and let someone into their inner circle.

    A 2023 study of 949 people showed that, for more introverted people, support from friends and family was especially important for happiness. So having fewer people around doesn’t necessarily mean those relationships matter any less.

    The cat says "don't be silly. I decide who I want to be friends with and they must have treats to share with me"

    And unlike what some people may believe, introverts aren’t the only ones who enjoy a bit of me time. In fact, folks with all kinds of personalities can seek out solitude and benefit from it.

    A 2024 review in the Journal of Personality found that spending time alone can be valuable across different personality types. Wanting some peace and quiet every now and then is simply a pretty normal human thing.

    At least then I'm alone

    But unfortunately for introverts, there is one less cheerful finding. A pretty large body of research suggests that extroverts tend to report higher levels of happiness and well-being.

    One possible reason is pretty simple: humans are social creatures, and extroverts tend to seek out more of the social interaction and rewarding experiences that can make us feel good.

    Thats because the overthinking makes you too tired to make any decisions.

    So in one experiment, researchers asked introverts to act more extroverted for a week and looked at how it affected their mood. The participants did report more positive emotions, but at the same time, they also felt more tired and less like themselves.

    In other words, acting more outgoing may have some benefits, but keeping it up can also be pretty draining.

    All in all, while introvert memes are definitely funny and relatable, it’s worth remembering that introverts are more than just people who skip office small talk or head straight home after a long day around others. They can be confident, social, and have deeply meaningful friendships and relationships. 

    Sometimes, they may simply need a little more time to recharge their social battery afterward. And really, what’s wrong with that?

    I have a little experience with bouts of depression, and I can recommend this: even tiny steps and challenges are enough. You have to repeat something about 50 times before it becomes a habit, so take your time.

    This series becomes a comfort series. Something I can watch that brings warm fuzzy feelings of familiarity. Yea, iZombie is a comfort series! No it doesn’t say anything about me psychologically. It’s just a fun and easy watch that rarely lets me down. But fing hell, Netflix got rid of it and now I have to watch it with commercials. Rat bastards
