“The more powerful and original a mind, the more it will incline towards the religion of solitude.” –
Aldous Huxley
“Don’t try to be what you’re not. If you’re nervous, be nervous. If you’re shy, be shy. It’s cute.” –
Adriana Lima
“Silence is only frightening to people who are compulsively verbalizing.” – William S. Burroughs
“Just because you don’t say much doesn’t mean people don’t notice you. It’s actually the quiet ones
who often draw the most attention. There’s this constant whirlwind of motion and sound all around,
and then there’s the quiet one, the eye of the storm.” – Amy Efaw
“Lighthouses don’t go running all over an island looking for boats to save; they just stand there
shining.” – Anne Lamott

Introversion can be difficult to deal with. It can hold you back in life. I think that you can only expand into the world by pushing your boundaries. My own introversion has definitely limited my life. I have forced myself out of the safety of my comfort zone.

Amy Efaw had just beaten the whole purpose of being introverted for many people. Wow. Great post though!

Love ALL of these. A good reminder for all us introverts who feel compelled to say something we don’t want to, or be something we aren’t.

Pooja over at LovesFineWine generously let me guest post on her site.
I decided to make a post where I took a few quotes about being an introvert, and I combined them in a way that conveys how I feel about it.
Hope you like my first guest post 🙂

Very interesting! All of them were really good. I love the one by Lima. I always tried to be an extrovert but it doesnt work that way. Be who you are. If you’re shy, you’re shy! 🙏
