How To Know If You're The Introvert In The Relationship

People say that opposites attract, and there's nothing more true than introvert/extrovert relationships.Two people on the complete opposite sides of the social spectrum come together in romance. It's a beautiful thing really and can look really different in both partner's eyes. However, sometimes certain people don't know if they are in one, or if even they're the introvert. Let me show you how you can possibly the introvert of your relationship.

1. They Probably Started The Relationship

Whether you were just too nervous or wasn't sure what to do, they most likely popped the question first and you more than happily agreed.

2. Your Ideal Date Is Staying Home


Your partner probably has such extravagant ideas for a date, when in actuality you just want to cuddle up on the couch watching a movie.

3. Parties Are Not Your Thing


Extroverts get invited to a lot of parties and of course they always want to bring their +1. Unfortunately that's you.

4. They Always Want Your Attention

Sometimes you just need your time, away from contact of the outside world. Your partner may not understand that though.

.5. They're Always Trying To Get You To Say What's On Your Mind


Small talk, especially that of your inner most thoughts is always super difficult.

6. Introductions Are Super Awkward


While you enjoy your close knit group of friends, introverts tend to have a lot more friends. That means many, many introductions. Again, small talk isn't your thing.

7. Their Family May Think You're Rude


You're not rude, you just don't like speaking much. And sometimes that can be hard to comprehend to certain people that isn't your significant other.

8. They "Encourage" You To Try Things

Whether it be going to this new hit club, or bringing you to this amazing band you really haven't heard of before, you always attend. Why? Because sometimes you don't have a choice.

9. They Can Always Rescue You From Social Situations


Once again, you hate small chat. So when you're stuck in public, talking to some person you don't know, it freaks you out. Or even sometimes stuck in a large crowd of people and you don't know what to do or where to go. But don't fret, your partner senses your distress and swoops in to the rescue.

10. They're Always Willing To Compromise

Most importantly, they know you better than anyone else. They understand your awkwardness in public, your alone time, their one sided conversations, and the small dates you want. This means they're always willing to help you, even if they're not used to it. All the ask is for you to do the same, and you wouldn't have it any other way.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
