cause i am an introvert

Bismillah.

My take on introverts.

 

 

introvert: Someone who is concerned with their internal self over external things. Marked by interest in or preoccupation with one's own thoughts or feelings; often shy or reserved. 

I just realized that I am one, due to the fact that A LOT of people said so and I constantly take personality tests to confirm so. Yeah, I am an introvert.

Allah created us differently hence the existence of introverts and extroverts. I am not trying to say one is better than than the other but, both have their own advantages and disadvantages. Since I am an introvert, I shall talk about the introvert-ish stuff. 

Being an introvert is all about thoughts and not words. I think a lot but I dont really express them through words. I wouldnt say that I express them with actions all the time, no, but it is either I do it or just keep inside this big old head of mine. What is fun about being an introvert is that I dont really give a crap about what people have to say to me. As long as I am not going against the sharia' then im good. I also dont really give a crap about attention and all that, in fact, I hate being noticed. I really do. Texts and calls from people are not really a big issue for me. Next, I prefer being quiet but that excludes when my family and best friends are present. Oh yeah, thats the thing about introverts, I find myself more attached to the people that I've known for at least more than 5 years. But if I am already close to a person that I've known for a year, then I guess he/she is just special. Unlike extroverts, they are able to connect with everyone, including strangers that they've just known for at least an hour and seriously, THAT is a great skill masyaAllah.

I seriously, like seriously, enjoy being alone and I love those long walks, alone as well. I just love spending so much with my thoughts and the environs! To be frank here, I sometimes think that people will like me and my personality if they actually know me BUT i never know how to let people in. That is why sometimes, my parents will never understand why it is not easy for me to say 'hi' to their friend's children. Hah. I am a home person. I LOVE LOVE being at home. I would do anything for my family to not bring me outside of the house. I know some people cant really stay at home due to the fact that they're very adventurous, curious and probably spending their life wisely more than I am. Home is the safest place I know, There's so much to do at home and I thank Allah for granting me and my family a nice home, alhamdulillah, I also love doing things myself. You might think of me as selfish and self-centered but my work will be done if I am alone. Probably because we introverts are scared of being judged based on the things that we like which will then bring our confidence down. Introverts are not shy, they're just super quiet. I love studying when everyone is asleep. Why? Because I can get my work done and I love people sleeping, it makes me happy due to the fact that they deserve that rest.
Generally, I discover that introverts are likely less to suffer from peer pressure. Although, I cannot say that I dont like introverts. No. They are the voices of the introverts, they lead us. Heck, I love extroverts. My parents, my best friends are all extroverts. I truly love them, so much and I am grateful that they are able to accept me for who I am. Most of my teachers are extroverts, but I know some who are introverts and that did not stop them from pouring their knowledge to other people. It doesnt really matter if we are either extroverts or introverts, we both can benefit something to the society insyaAllah. Allah loves us and that is why He created us to complete each other to work as one. We are brothers and sisters, we are one ummah and most importantly, we are family.
*hehehehehehe*

I can literally go on and on and on and on about being an introvert but we should know that there is no such thing as being a pure introvert or a pure extrovert. We have a mixture of both but of course, one has to be more dominant than the other. You know what's best? Being an ambivert.
