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 sociability. But take heart, quiet types: Twitter has your back. Each month, we round up spot-on tweets that capture what it’s like to be an introvert. Scroll down for our latest batch.

Went to a haunted house designed for introverts. People pop out unexpectedly and try to make small talk with you. At the end you you walk into a room where people are networking and everyone tries to get your information at the same time. Scariest experience of my life.

I’m much more of an introvert, so I really want to go to heaven, as hell seems like it would have far too many inhabitants.

As a kid, a weekend with no plans is like torture. As an adult, a weekend with no plans feels like winning the lottery.

I think my absolute limit for parties anymore is 3-4 hours, then I'm just DONE and want to go home. It's 9:30 and I would like nothing better than to be home in my PJs with a dog in my lap. #introvertproblems
