Is it bad to be an Introvert?

I am an Introvert with anxiety and depression living in NYC. When I am going to work or just out in general I really don't interact with people.I just keep to myself. I blast my music, walk with my head down and just stay in my own little world. If someone tries to talk to me, I will engage in conversation. Over the years I've become a bit cold and care less about life. I use to be this nice and caring guy that tried to please everyone and make everyone happy.But after being screwed over and over again by friends and people around me I just became cold. I wasted so many years helping others that I forgot to take care of myself. I am 29 and just wasted all my talent and potential. I've decided to just focus on myself and pick and choose the right people to do good things for. I now have a small circle of friends and hope to keep it that way. After all 4 quarters is better than 100 pennies. As for relationships, and don't care much to find love anymore. Don't even know if I want to get married any more.

I clicked this thinking please don't let this be 20 pages. It's only 3 pages but fuck.

Introversion is fine. But like, if you can't be extroverted at times, you ain't gonna do much social wise.

@Rokasu Agreed, I play for a indoor and outdoor football (soccer) team. It's a good way to meet new people.

It’s not bad to be an introvert. It’s all about balance, which can be really hard to maintain in this world as an introvert

@Effloresce Its very hard, still trying to find that balance now.

You sound like you are figuring things out. What you want. Who you want to be.

kidflash · 31-35, M

@TwiddlerofThumbs Yeah, just trying to find my place in this world. Too bad it took me so long to do so. I've missed out on a lot.

@kidflash You will think you've missed out on a lot more when your view broadens and changes. And again a few year later when you find a whole other perspective that works for you in your life.

You totally relate with me, specially the headphone part, I am 29 too

kidflash · 31-35, M

@Simplegirlstory Yeah, listening to music is a great escape.

Simplegirlstory · 31-35, F

We cant listen other and be in our own space wherever we go, I understand

It's not bad. You just have to find a healthy balance between alone time and interaction.

kidflash · 31-35, M

@YourBuddyRandall Very true, I am trying to find that balance now.
