Extroverts just don't get how someone can stand to literally be alone all day long and be perfectly fine with that. An introvert understands what it is like to lay in bed all day with no one to talk to but yourself. If you don't understand the struggle it takes to be in a social environment then you're probably not an introvert. But if you do understand the struggle, you'll relate to these six introvert struggles as well.

1. Your best friend or someone close is telling you an important story, and you didn't hear anything after "So earlier today I..."

My friends stay mad at me because I never remember what they tell me.

2. You constantly complain about going out with friends that they eventually stop inviting you places.

But you still confront your friends about not inviting you.

3. You have a friend group, and it makes you have anxiety when the group gets changed at all. If someone new comes into the group or someone in the group is arguing, you casually excuse yourself.

I love my friends, but whenever something changes I distance myself from the group until everything is back to normal.

4. If an introvert has a pet, it is their best friend. You have no problem talking to your pet because they have nothing to say back, and you love it! If you don't like pets, then your bestie is probably a book or music.

She gets me.

5. When people try to make small talk with you, you throw up in your mouth a little bit. It doesn't get easier.

Ever get so annoyed with small talk you pretend your phone just rang and you have to go?

6. Rainy days are your favorite days. It gives you the excuse to stay in, by yourself, and curl up to the TV all day long.

If a long day doing nothing, locked inside your own little world is ideal for you then you're an introvert.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
