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 being alone in a world that values gregariousness and sociability. 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.

Stranger: Hey, nice to meet you!

Me, to self: Okay, you can do this, just say hi. Do I shake his hand? Wait, what was his name? Did he tell me his name? Am I sweating? WAIT! I'm taking too long to respond!
Me: David is the word of my name. Want a shake of hands?#Introvert
