16 Totally Relatable Tweets About Life As An Introvert
If you’re an introvert, you likely value your alone time. You think before you speak. You’d much rather socialize one-on-one than in a group. A phone call is probably your worst nightmare. But most of all, you are silently strong.
It can be tough to prefer to be alone in a world that values boldness and extroversion. But take heart, quiet types: Twitter has your back. Each month we round up spot-on tweets that capture what it’s like to be an introvert. Scroll down for our latest batch.

For some reason it’s socially acceptable to sit on one’s own looking at one’s phone at a party. But people immediately start worrying that you’re not enjoying yourself if you take out a book... it’s just not fair... #bookishproblems #introvertproblems

My 6yo to 3yo: “Hey sis, how come when people are around, you’re shy and when no one is around, you’re funny and loud?” I can relate, kiddo. #introvertproblems

How to make an #introvert cranky:
1. Say you're working late (so the introvert gets excited about having the apartment to herself & fantasizes about watching a movie & ordering a pepperoni pizza)
2. Change your mind & don't go into work at all. 😒#introvertproblems— S. J. Blann (@SJBlann) December 30, 2017

As an introvert I get more enjoyment from being invited to a party then I do from attending the party.

I will respond to texts, IM's, and email within minutes, but don't even bother calling me or leaving a voicemail. It will be hours, days or weeks. #introvertproblems #IntrovertLife

Being an Introvert is when you hide out from your “own” party in the bathroom because being around so many people can literally wear you out. 😓😓😓 #introvertproblems #ImBoththough#LOVEpeople#HateConstantInteraction
