Me too.

i used to be shy but i'm far less so nowadays..

Same here :)

That is one of the best things a person can do for them selves.

Not everything can be changed.
Not everything has to change to fit what others think you should be.
Nothing wrong with being you.
I mean it does kind of come more natural to us than trying to force our selves to be something we are not naturally inclined to be.

Do you feel being introverted holds you back in things lik erelationships?

Nothing wrong with being an introvert. Used to be valued by our society -- the strong, silent hero in Westerns and other movies; the outsider who saw things clearly rather than being bogged down in all the petty crap. Then psychologists invented the inferiority complex in the late 1950's.

Still possible to lead a successful and happy existence as an introvert. Read Quiet, by Susan Cane.

I am a seriously introverted person but have moments of extrovertism.
Introverts are kinder and thoughful, careful not to offend and hide their feelings from others when hurt. Deeply hurt, misunderstood, etc.
It can be hard suffering like that but it takes self control, intelligence to be one which Im proud of. We think deeply beyond the fakeness which is so crystal clear to an introvert. Luv it

Uhm nooo introverts are not boring, I prefer them. Extroverts can be exhausting. All fluff and no depth.

Say what you will, but introversion is a superpower. At least I'm not walking around obvious to others

boring is actually fun! people just won’t take the time to know introverts unless its chaotic behavior behind it.
