“Do you know introverts are said to live longer than extroverts?Haha,just kidding 😂”
<p><br/></p><p>So I haven’t really been writing much lately. Life’s been loud,school stress, presentations, just trying to breathe through it all. But today, I feel like talking. Or maybe… just ranting.</p><p><br/></p><p>Let’s talk about introverts.</p><p><br/></p><p>And no, not the cliché “I like to be alone” type of introverts. I mean the real, weird ones. Because we’re honestly the weirdest,and I say that with pride. We’re the quietest in the room, but somehow the craziest personalities once we’re comfortable. People always assume we’re just shy or antisocial, but trust me, there’s a whole movie playing in our heads,we just don’t show the trailer.</p><p><br/></p><p>Me? I grew up in a strict household. No friends. Just school, church, and back home. No phone, no outings, no “outside life.” Strange, right? 🌚</p><p>So I never really knew what was happening outside my room. Life was just me… in my own little world. I got used to talking to myself,a lot. And now people think I’m going psycho, but honestly? I’m not. 😂 I’ve just been used to myself. My space. My energy. That’s always been enough for me.</p><p><br/></p><p>But now I’m in uni. And suddenly, I’m expected to… socialize?? It’s wild. Being around people 24/7, trying to cohabitate,trying to adjust.I’ve realized I actually have social anxiety. I overthink everything. I discovered I’m shy. I even found out I might have avoidant attachment disorder,but that’s another story for another day.🙂</p><p><br/></p><p>Cohabiting has been hard. Coming out of my shell has been harder. Sometimes I try. I really do. But then I stop and ask myself: Is it really necessary?</p><p>Do I really need to become “outgoing”? </p><p>Do I have to force myself to make friends when I feel safest alone? </p><p>Why can’t I just be who I’ve always been?</p><p><br/></p><p>I know, they say “you have to network,” “you need people,” “this is the time to build relationships,” — and maybe that’s true. But I also know my peace is precious. I’ve been learning to grow… but on my own terms.</p><p><br/></p><p>So yeah, this is a rant. But it’s also a piece of me.</p><p>But I also know my peace is precious.I’ve been learning to grow..but on my own terms.</p><p>To anyone out there like me,the real introverts, just know you’re not alone. This world keeps pushing us to be “extra,” but sometimes… our quiet is enough.</p>

At the end of each month, we give out cash prizes to 5 people with the best insights in the past month
as well as coupon points to 15 people who didn't make the top 5, but shared high-quality content.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
