“The Weight of Being Seen: Inside the Mind of an Introvert”
Not everyone wants the spotlight. Some of us are just trying to survive the glare of it. There’s a quiet kind of exhaustion that comes from being an introvert in a world built for extroverts. It’s not just about avoiding parties or preferring solitude. It’s about managing a thousand micro-decisions every day—Do I speak now? Did I sound cold? Should I explain that I’m not ignoring them, I’m just thinking?—while still trying to feel like enough. Introverts are often misread. If we're quiet, we'...
