If you’re an introvert, you value your alone time. You tend to think before you speak. You’d much rather socialize one-on-one than in a group. A phone call is probably your worst nightmare. But most of all, you are silently strong.
It can be tough to prefer being alone in a world that values gregariousness and sociability. But take heart, quiet types: Twitter has your back. Each month, we round up spot-on tweets that capture what it’s like to be an introvert. Scroll down for our latest batch.

Running into a friend in public as an introvert is both exciting and problematic because you want to be all “Yay! Friend!” but inside you keep thinking “I am not prepared for this! Panic!!!!!!!! 😰” #introvertproblems
