To all young people, please pay attention! It's OK to be an introvert and like your space. But ask yourself. do you honestly prefer to be alone because you like your space so much or are you more annoyed or made uncomfortable by other people?
I used to hide behind the introvert label, but I now realize I was a people pleaser and had trouble speaking my mind. I felt misunderstood, etc. so by default I labeled myself an introvert. No. I was just depressed and anxious. People exhausted me because I allowed it and didn't set boundaries (saying no, etc)
It's OK to love your alone time, but we need people and healthy relationships. You don't need a lot, but you need one or two people in life you trust and love.
Don't wait until you're in your 40s and beyond and start feeling like life has passed you by. Seek help. We need people. Maybe not every single minute of the day, but you need one or two healthy relationships. Your life perspective will change as you age.
I wish someone had told me this as a teen or 20 something.
A true introvert can still be able to maintain a small amount of healthy relationships and love their alone time. We need both. Even if you like being alone, that's fine. But if you start avoiding every interaction and all types of relationships, something else is going one. Figure out what that trauma is in your life and address that.

i think people confuse mental illness with introversion too often. introversion does NOT mean being shy, or anxious or socially awkward.
introvert isn't a disease lol. it's simply just needing to reload energy by yourself and then go out and be with people, and people drain you. that doesn't mean you aren't around people. and it doesn't mean you have poor social skills or you're so anxious you have to go home.
those things aren't related. AT ALL. if you have these things going on inside, it's not introversion, it's illness or lack of skills.
it's also NOT a personality? don't label yourself with such a thing. being introverted is not all that you are, and if you keep telling yourself you can't do things because oh I'm an introvert, i don't do that that's really unhealthy.
you're just a person, where social interaction drains your energy. if you feel others things, like anxiety, don't confuse that with introversion. the two are not linked.

- okay but like how do you stop wanting to be in a different reality and a different life, for me i watch anime and cartoons a lot and ive started to hate the life in living and started to with that i lived in a different reality where i dont feel as alone as i do now, i prefer my daydreams over reality and start to get lost in them. Often i find myself crying in bed while listening to music all because i hate my life and the reality im in. I don't know how id reach out for 'help' though because i feel like whoever i tell will just invalidate my feelings.

hi, I wouldn't say I'm an extrovert, but rather an introvert. When I was younger, I was more extroverted, but after starting school, everything changed. since then I'm more introverted than I don't like company, but I feel uncomfortable in the company of many people, and again in a smaller group of people I feel normal. but lately I've been a little sadder, I don't have an appetite and I often talk to myself. and things I like and enjoy. they no longer fulfill my needs. that period always passes and then comes back, but I always try to stay positive

I always feel this, but never thought im depressed, i'm really REALLY young so i didnt think it was such a big deal. Those moods actually always happends daily. But i try to distract myself by watching anime 's i love since they're the only thing that makes me happy on weekends. Forgetting about those feelings, but i did already give up, i'm like on a tight rope thats about to break anytime, the only thing that's holding me are anime/manga/comic and my friends. But i'm slowly loosing interest on them.

Im a shy extrovert, I love going out and love talking, but since Im too shy to take the lead in a conversation, many people thinks Im an introvert and rarely thinks of me as someone suitable for parties and going out. I dont often get invited to events. If the invitation is sent in a gc then Ill take the opportunity and show up. Its pretty sad being what I am, I crave social events but rarely get to participate just bc my friends (whom arent super close to me) assumes I dont like those things bc Im shy.

I have friends who question my introvertness just because I have an easygoing personality and generally talkative when approached, I was so interested when I read the title to see if they misunderstood introvertness as depression cause honestly what make an introvert an introvert is enjoying me time and the need to recharge after socializing for a while not being anxious or isolated.

Based on these comments, it's nice to know that I'm not the only one who sees both of these things existing inside of me. It really gets tiring, putting on a content or somewhat happy face around people I do or don't know and having to act like nothing is wrong. it makes me feel like no one else cares to see how I really feel, or even if they do, talking about it is not always easy.

3: 46 this statement is very true, many people think depressed people will appear sad or emo in front of people but that is actually not the case, most people facing this will hide it or open up only close friends or family. A depressed person actually builds character off others since they don't have/care about their own (or atleast that's the case for me )

Overeating or undereating, sleeping too much or too little, and finding even simple tasks as impossible. Wow it's literally me these days it's like I'm changing from one state to another

Most times I'm depressed because of what comes with my introverted traits. I lose relationship's and opportunities because of it. I also can't function because I'm stuck with both.

Something clicked in me, and I knew I was depressed, I had to do certain daily tasks and I just couldn't get myself to. I still can't have a normal shower schedule.

I noticed that companies and universities now require teamwork and ability to communicate. That's extremely disrespectful towards introverts

I am an introvert and socializing doesn't always drain me, it just gives me anxiety and want to die or melt like snow.
