The struggle is real for the introvert at heart. As soon as I came to college, my introvert tendencies went into over drive. The more I go through college, the more self-aware I have become. I am 21-years-old, and I would rather be watching a movie by myself (or with one or two close friends, maybe) than go out to the bar to celebrate the ending of a busy week. For me, comfort and security greatly outweigh risk-taking and stepping out of my comfort zone. This has been something that's been a struggle for me at times but largely have accepted and embraced it. If you're anything like me, you might be able to relate to the following:

1. Every time you interact with more than three people for longer than an hour you kind of freak out.

2. Busy week and no plans on a Friday night? Glorious.

3. Meeting new people? Making small talk? Nope.

4. Physical touch? Hugs? Cuddling? Ew.

This might not be a introvert thing, this might just be a "me" thing.

5. Trying new things? Stepping out of my comfort zone -- nah.

6. Enough said.

7. When your friends try to convince you to come out with them for once.

8. Actually going to the party, dance or whatever, and wanting to leave a few minutes upon arrival.

9. Your pet is most likely your best friend.
