When you’re an introvert living in an extrovert’s world, you spend a lot of time feeling misunderstood.

People wonder …

Why are you so quiet?

Why do you keep wandering off?

Why would you want to be alone

when there are parties to go to, people to meet, and adventures to be had.

They don’t understand that for an introvert,

our adventures begin on the inside

Our imagination gives us wings

Carrying us  to new worlds

We are the thinkers, the creators, the dreamers

We may be still and silent,

But we are soaring

So when you look at us sitting alone,

or daydreaming

or wandering off by ourselves

Don’t feel sorry for us

We may be quiet, but don’t underestimate our power

We know more than we say,

we think more than we speak,

and we observe more than you know.

We’re introverts, and that doesn’t make us ‘failed extroverts’

We grew up thinking there was something wrong with us

But the truth is that introverts are so much more than what meets the eye

We are deep divers in a world of shallow swimmers

We know how to listen,

not just to words, but also to the subtle messages carried on the wings of silence

Give us the freedom to be who we were meant to be

And you’ll see how much introverts have to offer the world

It’s true that some people might never understand us, and that’s okay

Because, when you know how to stand alone

The crowd can’t knock you down

Please don’t try to change us into extroverts

We don’t want to wear a mask

We’re introverts,

And that’s something to be proud of.
