Is it ok to mostly stay to oneself?
I think i am an introverted and I feel better when I spend time mostly to myself but people around me are more outgoing and sometimes when I am around people I don't really know what to say and at times I am afraid that I may say the wrong things and embarrass myself. As a result people tend to well ignore me because I am not as outgoing as those who are around me and it makes me uncomfortable with who I am. It makes me uncomfortable in my own skin and I am starting to get tired of trying to be somebody that I am not. I dont understand why I am the way I am but I can't do anything about it. i don't even know anymore....
Answers:
If you do not suffer from any social phobias and you are content to be by yourself at times then you probably don't have a "problem", the anxiety you feel may be as a result of others pressuring you to be involved in things you would rather not be.
I am also a person who enjoys my time alone, however I do go out and do things with friends at times, but only involve myself to a degree that I am comfortable with, If they don't like it, too bad for them.
