Why is being an Introvert so Hard?

I'm an Introvert who also suffers from anxiety and depression. So I have the triple threat. At first I come off as very cold and anti-social. However people who know me intimately know how warm and kind I am.

I don't talk a lot and hardly ever start up a conversation. However if some one starts one up I will most definitely engage in convo. The only times I talk or am myself is when I am around family, close friends or whenever I play Football a.k.a Soccer. Does are the times I am really comfortable. But when I am out my comfort zone I am quiet as a mouse.

At my work place, my co-workers are really verbal and I am pretty quiet. When they have conversations, I don't talk much unless asked a question or if I have input. We are a small group of 6 designers. Sometimes I feel they think I am anti-social but I am just naturally quiet.

Sounds more like you are shy rather than an introvert. They are not the same thing.
