“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 the month, we give out prizes in 3 categories: Best Content, Top Engagers and
Most Engaged Content.
Best Content
We give out cash prizes to 7 people with the best insights in the past month. The 7 winners are picked
by an in-house selection process.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Top Engagers
For the Top Engagers Track, we award the top 3 people who engage the most with other user's content via
comments.
The winners are picked using the "Monthly Engagers" tab on the rankings page.
Most Engaged Content
The Most Engaged Content recognizes users whose content received the most engagement during the month.
We pick the top 3.
The winners are picked using the "Monthly Contributors" tab on the rankings page.
Here are a few other things to know for the Best Content track
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.
Contributor Rankings
The Contributor Rankings shows the Top 20 Contributors on TwoCents a monthly and all-time basis.
The all-time ranking is based on the Contributor Score, which is a measure of all the engagement and exposure a contributor's content receives.
The monthly score sums the score on all your insights in the past 30 days. The monthly and all-time scores are calcuated DIFFERENTLY.
This page also shows the top engagers on TwoCents — these are community members that have engaged the most with other user's content.
Contributor Score
Here is a list of metrics that are used to calcuate your contributor score, arranged from
