I can’t go back and talk to my younger introverted self — but I can take these phrases and assert myself as an introverted adult.

Introverts are often expected to conform to the extrovert “norm,” like socializing, vs. attending to their own needs, like having alone time.

People often tell me, “You’re not ‘introverted enough’ to be an introvert.” But here’s why they’re wrong.

Introverts don’t lack energy, they just spend it in different ways.

I used to think introversion was something that needed to be “fixed.” But I was wrong — and finally stopped pretending to be an extrovert.

If an introvert zones out and seems “rude” when you’re talking to them, it has nothing to do with you and everything to do with them.

As an extroverted introvert, you may like being around others, but that doesn’t mean you want to interact with them nonstop.

Whenever you’re feeling overlooked as an introvert, leaning into your introvert strengths can work wonders.

When your filter is turned up too high, it makes you constantly doubt yourself. Nothing seems good enough to say.

Being sensitive to an introvert’s feelings — like sensing when they’ve had enough socializing — is just one way to make them feel valued.
