9 Things Introverts Know To Be True

If you don't mind being alone, your idea of a good time consists of staying home, and the idea of socialization exhausts you, you are most likely an introvert. Here are a list of a few things that introverts experience on a daily basis:

1. You hate small talk.

"So how about the Phillies this year?" "I wonder if this rain will ever end." Small talk with random people is absolute torture for introverts. In these types of situations, I tend to reprimand myself for forgetting to bring my headphones.

2. You have a RBF that could kill.

People often assume you're silently judging them when you're really just staring off into space wondering why a tomato is a fruit, but ketchup isn't a jelly. Or you could be silently judging them...no one really knows.

3. You hate nothing more than the feeling of being embarrassed.

Introverts feel embarrassed too often. Whether you fall in public, are called out by one of your friends, or even if you just drop a pencil in class, you hate the unwanted attention and want nothing more than to just crawl under a rock and ponder your life choices.

4. People are constantly asking you if you're OK.

Introverts like to think before they speak. And if they feel that they don't have anything important to say, they won't. Don't get me wrong, it's nice of people to care about you, but when you are always asked this question, you can't help but internally roll your eyes.

5. When your friends cancel plans that you never wanted to do in the first place.

Bring on the Netflix and chill.

6. When you finally talk in class just to get the participation points.

Every single head in the lecture hall pivots toward you and you begin to wonder why you wanted those few extra points in the first place.

7. Negotiating with your parents when they force you to go to family parties.

Meeting a distant cousin for the first time and having to explain to them your entire life story is not the ideal situation.

8. One of your worst fears in life is talking to a stranger on the phone.

Making your own dentist appointment? Having to call your doctor for your lab results? I think we would all much rather text to avoid the awkward pauses and unintentional stutters when talking to a stranger for the first time.

9. "You're such a good listener."

Am I really listening? Or am I thinking about what I am going to eat for my next meal?

Introverts live a reserved life in a rambunctious world. Yes, we are quiet and can be painfully awkward in social situations, but we do possess traits that make us extraordinarily unique. To all of the introverts out there: it's OK to not be outgoing. Never be ashamed to call yourself a wallflower!

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.
