#introvert struggles
Chapter 5 - American Horror Story (2016)
I hadn’t realised quite how introverted I am until my partner’s friend arrived from Malta for a week’s visit and I found myself wishing I could hide upstairs with the cats.
At parties, I tend to hide in the bathroom for a while when the hubbub gets too overwhelming. But sometimes there’s this chatty guest who keeps talking to me and makes it impossible to flee to the bathroom. :P

Going to the party or not? That’s a really tough decision for introverts, especially if it’s a big party with lots of people they don’t know. Usually, introverts are very loyal friends, so they tend to sacrifice themselves for their loved ones.
Of course, most of us don’t hate parties altogether. Sometimes it’s fun to be around people and there are social introverts as well.
However, in general we prefer small groups and low-key activities to noisy places, stuffy air, and crowds of people.

When I was a teenager, I attended a 3-day event in a foreign city.
While the other attendees of the group I traveled with got in touch with people immediately, I didn’t and felt terribly lonely and like the odd one out. On the 2nd day, I was so anxious and depressed that I needed to see a doctor.
When I told the doc about my problem, she raised her eyebrows and asked, “Why are you lonely? You’re surrounded by thousands of people!"
She didn’t understand that you can feel lonely in a crowd as well.
Any fellow introverts out there who can relate?
Most introverts get this nagging feeling of awkwardness whenever someone tries to make small talk. We are just never know what to say and quickly feel bored. Just the question “What are you up to lately?” makes us speechless. Especially, if the person we’re talking to doesn’t accept “Nothing much” as an answer.

Introverts usually don’t hate people. We just prefer being alone or with a couple of close friends to a crowded place. The latter often overstimulates us which wears us out.
