No One Has to Be Fixed, No Introverts Have to

Hi there!

It's already December and as days pass school holiday is coming to its end . . .


So today I'm gonna share a lesson learnt.

What I have learned today is that you should never think of yourself as flawed, or imperfect. When a person or a situation indicates or makes you think that there is something wrong with you in some ways, and you have to be fixed because of those 'flaws', do not believe in them. Who you are, your inner core, there is nothing wrong with it. It's just a part of you, what makes up you. For example, when someone tells you that you are "too emotional" well that means your emotions are intense. And emotions do not comprise of sadness, anger, or other melancholic stuffs only! There are so much more intangible enigmas that you can reach with those heightened senses. And that means you get to experience the colours of life more vividly, which is a great thing.

Another thing is, a few days ago I came across a blog post that elaborated on how the natural traits of introverts are viewed negatively by the world. This couldn't be more true. The silence of introverts make others perceive them as quiet, shy, uncooperative, anti-social, et cetera. Introverts should know that they are not any of those! The silence means  introverts are being thoughtful, are good listeners, they think before they speak, and the last of all is that their heads are full racing thoughts.

Although it's true those are signs of low confidence. Yes, most introverts lack confidence because they are always told there is something wrong with them and they have to be fixed. But it cannot be fixed because it's just a part of them. Initially, they do  speak up but not much, yet a little silence is alarming to others. In the end, the lack of confidence makes it worse for introverts.
