DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE MISSING OUT OF LIFE?
Worries of an introvert
Introverts worry! We spend most of their time worrying; the feeling is too familiar.
Most times , it’s the fear of missing out of relationship with friends. Other times, it could be just the fear of not reaching your potential because you failed to put yourself out there
This article explores the internal struggles introverts face when they feel disconnected from the world.
The Struggles
The sort of things we like as introverts seems abominable; for example
I prefer working independently rather than in a team. When booking an Uber ride, I value a peaceful and quiet journey. In terms of friendship, I prefer to maintain a comfortable level of communication without feeling obligated to engage in daily conversations.
Nevertheless, we exist in a society that favours extroversion, jobs that value outgoing behaviours and a persistent notion that being outspoken is the key to success.
As introverts, one of the most significant challenges we encounter on a daily basis is the pressure to conform to extroverted norms.
Introverts feel like we don’t fit in because we prefer solitude or one on one interactions. This further leads to a feeling of inadequacy.
Pressures like this are what motivate introverts into participating in draining activities they may not care about.
The Fear Of Missing Out.
Indeed, it is not uncommon for introverts to experience a sense of missing out, particularly in the age of social media.
The constant portrayal of others' lives and achievements can create an illusion of success that may lead to self-doubt and a distorted perception of one’s own progress.
This makes them wonder if their preference for solitude is causing them to miss out on life’s most rewarding moments.
