Me and my best friend were texting the other day and we were talking about how we always feel like were different form everyone else around us.
She said that she felt like something was wrong with her because she never felt the need to talk to someone all the time and that she would rather read or listen to music than hang out with friends.
But, I totally knew what she meant. I knew because that's how I feel. I told her that it's because we're different and we don't feel the need to be accepted by everyone around us. We don't need everyone to love us to be happy. Because the things we do, make us happy. And even if everyone else doesn't understand, it's okay, because you are happy.
This is what I think is important to know. Just because someone doesn't need to have everyone hanging onto their every word, it doesn't mean they don't need someone to be there when they do need someone to listen.
I know that being an introvert is hard for some people to understand and accept. But I also think that without people being introverts, this world would be a little worse off. It's okay to not want to go out and be with friends all the time, you're allowed to want to be alone sometimes.
Because not everyone has the same personality. Everyone is different and that's okay. Be yourself and be proud of that.
Love,
Natalie
