Our Introversion Doesn't Change, Our Behavior Does

My personality is all me, but my attitude is up to you.

I get tired of people thinking that you can just stop being an introvert. First, that it is a bad thing. Second, that we can teach out of people. Not gonna happen. We get used to things or get more comfortable. But who we are fundamentally do not change.

It takes time for us to open up

Why is it so bad for people to take their time opening up? We all know some people should not be trusted. Or that too many take advantage of others. Or do not deserve to know some parts of us. We are not lying about who we are, just being selective.

We are not suddenly “cured”

There. Is. Nothing. Wrong. With. Us. Read the point above again.

We can learn to be more comfortable being outgoing

Maybe we are just around people who do not make us feel safe. Or people make snide remarks for everything we do. Maybe it’s you?
