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.

I value my personal space & privacy and I’d appreciate it if you did, too. (Also, I’m super grumpy today.) #introvert pic.twitter.com/UN5wYqDeHa

I do not understand the desire to talk and make noise in the morning. Mornings are made for listening and thinking. Why do people need to talk before 10am. #IntrovertProblems

I finally figured out why I’m so tired: it’s because I’m talking to people all day. #introvertproblems

the rush you get when someone you thought you were going to have to talk to on the phone doesn't answer and you can just leave them a message>>> #introvertproblems

When you're upset they forgot to invite you but glad at the same time because you don't have to go #introvertproblems #infjparadox

Solitude is independence. I'm not anti-social. I'm pro-solitude.

As an EXTREME introvert, I just have to say... if it wasn’t for my cats, I would 100% get out more! But it’s like, my desire for social interaction is so damn low, that having one-sided conversation with my cats manages to fulfill my social quota! 🤭
