If you’re an introvert, you value your alone time. You tend to think before you speak. You’d much rather socialize one-on-one than in a group. A phone call is probably your worst nightmare. But, most of all, you are silently strong.
It can be tough to prefer being alone in a world that values gregariousness and sociability. But take heart, quiet types: Twitter has your back. We’ve rounded up 50 of the most relatable introvert tweets we’ve seen this year.

I know it's an extrovert's world, but I just went to the library and supermarket and thanks to machines didn't have to engage with a single person the whole time so I suspect the introverts are quietly taking over the world.

How to call an introvert

The day before: Text that you will call tomorrow & explain why (so we have time to prepare).

2 hrs prior: Text a funny gif.
1 hr prior: Text an emoji.
Make the call.
Leave a voicemail.#introvert #introvertlife
