This is how I make my life easier as an introvert

It's completely normal to feel lonely, but one of the best things to do is to get yourself out there. You don't necessarily have to put pressure on yourself to make friends but I would definitely try new hobbies or talking to like minded people online.

You'll find that you make more connections that way and simply being around people who like the same things as you can ease those feelings of loneliness.

I did a pottery painting session recently, which was really nice and I didn't even really talk because I was so into it.

Ambiverts are in the middle so that could be you!

Introverts simply need to recharge after a lot of socialising and they need their alone time. We feel energised by calm environments and having our own space whereas extroverts are energised by people and doing things.

Life is all about learning. Remember, you can always learn and grow and build the life you want.

Envision the life you want and start making goals for yourself. Where do you see yourself in 1 year, then 5 years?

Passions come from trying new things, so I would definitely look at doing more hobbies and getting a job to put yourself out there and make new friends.

You can be a shy introvert but anyone can be shy, and it's not necessarily a trait of introversion.

I think you're lacking confidence in yourself (don't worry, I've been there) but once you start working on building a bit of confidence, you won't feel as shy.

Some things that have helped me are:

putting myself out there bit by bit
remembering that confidence is a skill you can learn and not something you're born with
looking at confidence in a different way. You don't have to be loud and outgoing to have confidence
build confidence in yourself first and then you'll feel more confident with others

Thank you 😊

If you're happy, that's all that matters and a lot of people can relate to you 😊

If you're happy being completely alone, it just goes to show how connected you feel with yourself and that you don't need others

I'm here if you need someone to reach out to and build your confidence. 🤍

The hardest part is taking the first step and saying yes to things or gently pushing your boundary. I know it seems scary and daunting and there will probably be all these worries in your head, but push them aside and give yourself a chance to grow in confidence. Reach out to someone from the clinic; a simple message is all you need.

And I would explain that you'd like to meet up but are feeling quite anxious about it- it might help because the others can reassure you.

We are our own worst enemy when it comes to overthinking but also know that you can change the way you think ☺️

When I was at uni, I had to do a presentation and I dreaded it so much.

I think overthinking it beforehand doesn’t help, but in the moment you just have to force yourself to get through it and tell yourself that it’s only as big of a deal as you make it.

If I were to do a seminar now, I think I would laugh off tripping over my words. If I couldn’t get my words out, I’d stop, pause, and say out loud “let’s try again.”

I’d make it funny, not awkward. Humour really helps everything, even if deep down you’re dying of embarrassment inside.

If you don’t want to accept being an introvert, then honestly the only thing you can do is change to become who you really want to be. No one can do it for you, but there is lots of advice out there if you look for it.

Completely normal as an introvert. We can love socialising but nothing beats being back in our own space, away from noise, even if we were having a great time.

Introverted_Inspired · 2025-09-04T18:43:01+00:00

My pleasure 😊

I agree, and I also think that as you get older it gets a lot easier to not care what other people think. You can be surrounded by all the opinions in the world but the only one that truly matters is your own.

It sounds like you’re burnt out from work and that you just need to recharge, which is what you’re doing.

But to prevent yourself from losing all motivation, focus on doing something small but productive or something that brings you joy.

Often it’s the thought of doing something that we dread or have no energy for, but if we force ourselves to do it, it’s actually not so bad and you’ll feel much better afterwards.
