I wish more people accepted introverts for who we are instead of constantly putting us in uncomfortable situations & forcing us to socialize when we would rather thrive in solitude. I don’t mind my own company, I mind you wanting me to be someone I’m not.

Like my parents think I get upset because I don’t have many friends when in actuality I get upset because they don’t understand that I’m happy being by myself & they force me to talk to toxic people

like I would rather only associate with a few people that are genuine or even just stay by myself & enjoy solitude compared to hanging out with people that are terrible for my mental health
