Being an introvert, I can relate to most of these. That being said, this is a very millennial article, and I am genx. Having gone through life, I have had to do many of these things and though I still need my alone time, these challenges have made me grow as a person. I have the ability to be social which is required in this world. I don’t think you can just say, “well, I’m an introvert so I can’t do this” and then justify being anti-social and unfriendly. There are things in life that will challenge you and, imo, you can’t just label yourself and refuse to participate. I do the things that are personally unpleasant to me but I also make sure I find balance and spend time just sitting quietly on the couch with my dogs, taking a bath, or reading.
