It is completely OKAY to feel insecure. I live in this space more than I ever want to, but it is OK. I feel fully present and myself. I want to share this because we often say that it’s abnormal to feel insecure or unconfident just because having confidence is a norm. Introverts can feel confident and allow ourselves to be empowered by our own sense of security, from our thoughts to our mindsets. We just need to feel more wholesome first and know it from within, then we take off from there, with courage.

There are a lot of times where I would often cry in the dark on my lonely bed, wondering if that is actually healthy for me to do so… Why would I even question my decision to CRY while ALONE? That’s what the introvert in me tells me I’m wrong for doing “that thing” where I’m releasing myself and being vulnerable, even to myself while NO ONE is around watching. What other features can define an introvert?? Interesting question there…

Yes, I retreat to my own bed to cry alone and that is OKAY. And I do talk to myself and reflect on what had happened, and it’s totally FINE. If you, too, are an introvert, and afraid to shed tears, then just DO IT, AFRAID. It’s okay to admit you are afraid, too. It’s freeing, believe me.
