I Am An Introvert

What is it with these misconceptions of introverts? A relative argued that I wasn't an introvert because I was adventurous when I was four (about seventeen years ago and many kids are adventurous)and had moments throughout my life where I "broke out of my shell." "Introvert" does not mean "antisocial, underachieving hermit." Introverts can be adventurous, bold, and motivated just like extroverts. We don't hole up in our homes all day everyday unwilling to socialize, improve, and challenge ourselves. This happens every time I say I am an introvert. Sorry, but I am an introvert whether you believe me or not.

Good self analysis. You just can't accept what anyone says.

@pfuzylogic The people don't know what introversion is. There are lots of misconceptions about it. I'm very introverted, but I like to socialize here and there and go out. We recharge when we are alone and don't get bored easily, for the most part.

Indeed

I totally get that, an area of comfort and relaxation, others might consider it boring and can't appreciate the what is offered.
