LOH #157: MISCONCEPTIONS PEOPLE HAVE OF ME AS AN INTROVERT

20231022_105858_0000.png

It is no doubt that no matter what or who you are people will still have different misconception about you or your personality, whatever you they either get it right or the read a different and negative meaning to it. I have actually learnt to accept what people think of me regardless, I don't give a damn anymore as I do not have the strength to start explaining my intention to people who do not really know me but go ahead and assume stuffs.

As an introvert, I am a victim of misconception talk more of been a woman, the other gender tend to misunderstand a whole lot about women. So the topic for the #ladiesofhive contest is so relatable and I am glad it came up.
Well, as an introvert I like been indoors most times except my close friends are around and we plan to go out together but I would never go out alone in isolation, it boring and attracts unnecessary attentions. So one time, there was someone on my neck insisting he takes me out and all, I refuse for some reasons but he was persistent. When he got tired, he said I was a snub, I was too proud and feeling too important. He misunderstood the fact that it was just my personality to not hangout with strangers as I like a quiet space, going to the club is not for me.

People get to think that all introverts are snubbish and rude, but I don't care. People close to me and that matters to me know me better and that's enough for me.

That is always their conclusion.
They believe it's because you are proud that you decide not to go out with them.
I'm like that as well, I love my space more than anything else.

We should care less about people's perception about us,
Yeah some people feel that rejecting their offers makes you proud...your happiness matters first.

Some people do not just understand that introverts may have their reasons and instead of accepting them for who they are, they are termed as been snubbish and rude. Well, I don't care either once I know who I am.

Those kind of people that can observe an environment for hours before they can say a word. It is good to be yourself, speak when you need to.

Rule your world dear

It's understandable how he concluded you were all you really are not, it's best we know ourselves so those words won't have any effect on us.

Thanks for participating sis.

That's a common misconception about introverts,but thankfully not everyone see you that way
At least people close to you can say otherwise. That is why you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover.

This is so true. For the fact that you don't talk dies not mean you are rude that's what I tell people who cares
