1 YOU APPEAR SHY WHEN MEETING NEW PEOPLE-

What the first impression you make on people? are you usually described as shy whenever you meeting new people? The truth is when you are quieter than most people, it makes sense that people would see you as a shy person upon first meeting. The struggle occurs when people assume things about you just because you're quieter such as you not being confident enough or that you're hiding something. This might be especially bad on job interviews since recruiters usually seek people who are competent in thier own skills and mistake a good first impression.

2 YOU'D RATHER AVOID PARTIES AND BIG SOCIAL EVENTS-

Sometimes as an Introvert you notice yourself feeling lonelier during parties or social events than when you're by yourself .It might seem like being a statue is the only way out for you While this might sound contradictory, this is a common struggle for introverts. Whenever you go to parties you would feel like there's a wall separating you from other people because of the amount of small talk. Additionally, the small talk will make you feel extremely bored and like you're wasting your precious time. These are two of many of the reasons why you would rather avoid going to parties or social events.

3 Social skill is important but you don’t have it -

Have you ever felt like people ignore you in the room just because you don't talk as much as others?Well, this is one of the most common struggles for introverts.As an introvert, you usually talk less because you don't know what to say or dont have anything to say as a result, people will not know you well, and underestimate your skills and capabilities. So that why even when you're fit for the job, someone else gets that promotion because of his or her social skills while you feel like you got skipped.

4, YOU FEEL THAT WORKING IN A TEAM IS BURDENSOME-

Do you feel like meeting are counterproductive for you? is it easier for you to work alone than coordinate in a group? This is one of the struggles that you can easily relate to as an introvert.You work much more productively in quiet and private environments since focusing on your task with people talking around you is very hard. Additionally, as opposed to the belief that having others around is better for the inspiration, you are more creative and have innovative ideas when you are alone.

And so, the fact that companies usually prefer team players over individualists makes this a struggle for you, even if the results and insights you give are better.

5 YOU FEEL EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE WHEN IN THE SPOTLIGHT-

introverts can not stand to be in the spotlight while it's normal to feel extra pressure when being in the spotlight for a normal person for introverts it’s is somewhat extra after all it like they are being watched by more people that you normally would, as an introvert you'll try to avoid speaking in groups or public speaking at all costs because you can't stand peoples' attention being focused on you.

You would much rather have a one-on-one conversation and when you do it prefer to talk about anything as far as it doesn’t relate to you and is about you . You even feel uncomfortable talking with acquaintances who you know because they'll always ask personal questions, which you feel are none of their business.

6 YOU WOULD RATHER DO EVERYTHING BY YOURSELF-

Do you get tongue tied when asking for assistance?

If you ever had a friend who is an introvert you would notice that they are hard workers Is it because they hate to ask for help when carrying out a take it almost like they dread that they would think of you helping them as a problem to you and they prefer not to intrude.

Also as an introvert, one of the traits that you have is that you hate asking for help and the main reason for this is that you are afraid that you might seem stupid or incapable of doing something. So they end up wasting so much valuable time simply because they prefer to do everything by theirselves instead of asking others for help.It is important to be aware that the struggles that you have to go through daily are most likely struggles that most introverts experience everywhere else. So please know that you are not alone in dealing with these struggles, and start embracing the fact that there are more approach to life than the extroverted approach. It’s not a disease to be an introvert and no one is blaming you for it just take your time and make sure you are the best version of yourself everyday.

OWN YOURSELF AND LET OTHERS APPRECIATE YOU.
