Introverts’ brains are wired a little differently than extroverts’ brains, so everyday experiences can become stressful for us “quiet ones.”

I’ve always found it difficult to make friends, let alone the deep friendships that introverts crave. But that’s not stopping me from being my own best friend.

No matter how much I may love my family, having anyone in my space for more than a day is overwhelming.

For introverts, it may be easier to craft beautiful sentences in their heads than to express those same thoughts aloud in the moment.

Introverts don’t always get the praise they deserve, so let them know you see their charm, humor, and insights.

For the record, quiet people can be happy, too. So can people who don’t smile and socialize all the time.

Although being an introvert in an extroverted world is hard, I’ve come to realize that it doesn’t mean I’m broken.

In social settings, the introvert brain is busy processing every word and detail, which explains why it can feel so exhausting.

Things that don’t bother most people can overwhelm highly sensitive people, turning minor irritations into moments of panic or tears.
