Introverts get a bad rap, but it's not fair to label them as aloof or uninterested. They lead complex lives just like other people and experience the same range of emotions and feelings that we all do. Next time you’re around a quieter type, give them time, and you’ll be rewarded with thoughtful and meaningful gems.
One introvert, Saul Watson, recently took to Instagram to express the thoughts that go through his head, and the 35 memes he created will be easy for any real introvert to relate to. With 415k followers, we’d say he’s striking a chord.

Some people have never been told to be quiet and it's telling.
For me, I think in my head, "why do you need to know anything about me?"
Rented a bunch of different movies from blockbuster to watch alone just so I could have seen them and talk about them with people. And then no one ever brought them up.
Kind of impressed because that is the fastest my reflexes have ever performed.
Circadian rhythm disorder! A sleep doctor told me the best thing you can do is sleep the schedule your body wants to sleep and structure the rest of your life-- work, friends, etc-- around that schedule.
An expert on every introvert ever, who are individually introverts for a multitude of reasons - there must be a vacancy in counselling for you. Don't be ignorant
Load More Replies...The main thing to note is that introverts are not necessarily shy - I don't like lots of boisterous company, I recharge with peace and quiet, I don't like talking about myself, all of which makes me an introvert. I have, however, done hundreds of training courses and presentations in front of thousands of people, and appeared on tv 4 times (in front of, I imagine, millions, although I didn't check the ratings) - which are things that some extroverts would struggle to do.
It's not that I can't do the things, it's that it takes so much energy out of me to do them. I would be less drained after a strenuous 4 hour hike alone than I would after a 15 minute presentation.
Load More Replies...Some people are introverts, or worse, agoraphobic, I get it, there are days I need to go to work and I'm sat rocking in a corner unable to leave the house, so I'm not talking about people with genuine conditions, apologies if I seem harsh. BUT.... being socially awkward because you haven't learned social skills is not introversion. Staying in your bedroom because you can't be bothered to learn to interact with humans, while there's a whole world out there to explore and experience is such a waste of a life. SOME are just edgy teens who can't be bothered to get out of the house, and label their lack of motivation with the current pschtrend, it's heart breaking. The world is awesome, if you can, get out there and soak up every minute.
