This hit heavy, needed this, helps me remember we aren’t alone and that whether we know it or not there is someone that get relate to us. I’ve been an introvert most my life and it wasn’t till recently that I’ve trying to find ways to work on it, honestly practice, therapy and reading have helped me

@IDLEMODE we are really not alone that’s why I don’t get how people promote self love as a thing that you gotta work on alone ? the hyper individualism of this society is killing us introverts !

this is exactly how i feel and how i’ve always felt. i have such a hard time articulating myself in spoken conversation. it’s honestly hard to get rid of the guilt for having wants and needs and passions- it feels selfish even though i know it’s not. i always have more compassion and understanding for everyone else but myself.

@TSUNNY it’s not crazy to crave for what’s good for you I promise you that’s what everybody around you want for you but I know that you know that and it’s already a big step into understanding yourself

I was pretty much the same way my whole life and it only got better with every terrifying moment of practice, which was thankfully reinforced with very positive experiences. I think living around a lot of people who just say everything that comes into their head out loud also helps A LOT because it’s like a gun of societal expectations is being held to my head forcing me to respond

@TATERHOLE You right because I got a lot of friends that just say everything out loud which makes me feel more comfortable !

@DOVE I‘m already into reading poetry aloud I think should do it more you right !
@THAWORSTGUYS Thats awesome! I feel like I haven't met many other people who are also into reading poetry aloud lol, do you have a favorite poet or poems that you really like? I'm always looking for more recommendations
@DOVE I’ve been reading Khalil Gibran and Jean Cocteau but my fav is Rûmî I’m mostly into love poems
I have this problem, too. Everything gets bottlenecked. It’s almost like I think in impressions because I’m so used to expressing things only to myself. Turning something abstract into words is hard. I read a lot of books, and it hasn’t gotten much easier. </3

@HAILEYD4WN I relate to everything you just said when I talk to myself I’m speaking hella fast and know what to say that’s weird and if books are not the solution what is it then !?

@HAILEYD4WN no idea!!! just practice I guess. or people who are comfortable with silence and unfinished sentences.

Maybe you could try Toastmasters to gain confidence and skill. Maybe try reading aloud because joining an organization is not what a shy person wants to hear lol
@BEE1000 I just searched for Toastmasters maybe I could try that if I feel confident enough one day hahah
