there may be some good qualities but they hardly compensate for the suffering

@Jaco: Can you elaborate? What sort of suffering are you referring to?

Well, I was shy AND introverted when I was a kid, but now I’m getting rid of my shyness a lot. Now, it’s more of being an introvert for me. I’m a typical introvert. I do not go and start a conversation myself with a stranger. My circle of friends is pretty limited and I do not go beyond that. But then, I do have this fear of meeting new people whom I have never seen or heard before in my life as I always feel that whenever I meet a person, I’ll be making a total fool of myself by blabbing rubbish in front of him/her. For instance, I’ll be starting college in a few weeks’ time and I’m horribly wrecked as I don’t know how I’m going to make new friends because all my old friends will be in different colleges. But I know one thing how people can come to me and talk to me. I’m quite good at academics. So, if they want some help from me (& I never say no to anybody asking for help), we can get engaged in a conversation and it’ll all work out fine in the end.

I’m an introvert. I think Gravtar Icon’s right: there may be some good qualities but they hardly compensate for the suffering. If you are an introvert and you have suffered you shall agree with this.

What suffering? In my experience, most of it’s a symptom of low self-esteem, not necessarily of being an introvert.

As an introvert and a shy child (now as an adult when I say I am shy people can’t believe it) life was difficult and to some degree still is. That said, introverts are not ‘doomed’ to being miserable. We can either accept our limitations without dwelling on them or we can actively seek to overcome them. Overcoming them will not be easy but no one is ever guaranteed an easy life.
