Can a shy person go to college?
There is a place for shy students and introverted students at college, and they can thrive and enjoy the college experience. Help your student find the balance of reaching outside of their comfort zone and being comfortable with who they are.
Why is it so hard to meet people as an introvert?
As an introvert, you find it difficult to meet people you like and feel comfortable with. You don’t get energized by the people around you, and most of the time, it takes you a little while to warm up to someone. We don’t invest our energy on people we’re not completely crazy about, so we choose to get to know them better before we get too close.
Do you get bored when you’re alone?
Because you enjoy reflecting on your own thoughts, you’ll be less likely to get bored when you’re alone than someone who needs constant social stimulation. The only risk you face is that people who don’t know you might think you’re aloof or that you feel superior to everyone else.
Why are shy introverts so bad at speaking up?
Unfortunately, for shy introverts, people often assume that because we’re hesitant to speak up, it means we don’t have anything valuable to contribute. That can lead to people vastly underestimating us.
Is your bedroom a sign of introversion?
