 If you value introversion, then you should stop trying to appear to fit in and go to events and parties that you don't want to be at. I've been drug to parties all my life because extroverts feel introverts need fixing. They feel we need help. Or you're sad, you're so unsociable, you need to get out more. Let me help you. Self-awareness that made me aware I am an introvert. I celebrate that. I want to be a brilliant introvert. I want to be the best version of introversion I can be. I don't apologize for it, compromise on it, or try to appear more sociable than I really am and want to be. Self-awareness doesn't let you trade off an internal value for the sake of an external need to fit in with someone today.
