Struggles Of Being Extroverted

Being an extrovert is not all its cracked up to be.

Struggles Of Being Extroverted

As I've gotten older, I've realized being an extroverted person can be tough. We get our energy from being around other people, but sometimes we just don't want to go out. We believe that everyone needs space every once and a while, but at the same time, we struggle to be alone for long periods of time. We just can't do it.

Genuinely enjoying to get know other people and their story is always interesting to us extroverts. However, we feel we are expected to say yes to every invitation we are invited too because people know how outgoing we are capable of being. It's hard to back down to an invite, even though we love to be out and around people. We don't enjoy being alone with our thoughts and we especially don't like to be bored.

Always feeling "on call" and expected to be full of energy when we are out and about puts an excessive amount of pressure on us: we can't be too tired to not go to a party or to hang out with friends. We always feel the need to be on the go. We try to do everything that is fun and entertaining to us. Being extroverted can also be rough when we have too much energy at the wrong time. For an example, not being able to focus on our studies sucks.

Feeling easily excited about upcoming events is one of our strong suits, but we also have moments where we the feel the need to be calm. Extroverts feel annoying some of the time, but we can't help it. There are many strengths of being extroverted, but we have struggles just like introverts.

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.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

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.
