💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
📑 Seven signs that you're actually an introvert even if you seem outspoken in some social gatherings:
1] You don't easily get disappointed when an appointment or outing is cancelled. Staying in, browsing the web, reading informative articles, taking quality naps, and spending time with your family or cats indoors sound more appealing than unwillingly socializing.
2] You'd rather read a book, discover new information online, and use your cellphone for one hour than spend more than thirty minutes aimlessly talking to strangers whom you're not eager to befriend.
3] Usually in a gathering, meeting or conference, you're one of the first ones to leave once the purpose of assembling has been accomplished.
4] Even in the comfort of your own home, when attending a webinar or group video call, you hesitate to turn on your webcam. If keeping it on is mandatory during the online class or lecture, you reluctantly switch it on with a mask and the lights off in the background or while the camera lens is directed towards the ceiling, wall or any object besides your uninterested face.
5] You generally write and type more than you speak. If you have an interesting idea, opinion or discovery to share, writing several paragraphs about it is much easier than expounding it vocally with one sentence or a few phrases being sufficient.
6] While you've behaved awkwardly in a lot of social settings, gradually you have learned to embrace your quirkiness and awkwardness.
7] As a Muslim, you wouldn't describe yourself as "lonely" but reclusive and independent while always trusting Allah the Almighty and believing that there are noble angels nearby recording your actions and statements, as well as jinns whom you can do Da'wah to indirectly.
✅ Some strengths of being an introvert:
1) More time to reflect and focus on improving yourself. Less chances to gossip about others with toxic people.
2) Confidently accepting it when somebody forgot to invite you. Not making it a big deal when you've been rejected or excluded.
3) Enjoying inner joy, peace and tranquility when solitude comes with opportunities to spend more time with Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala instead of absorbing people's lies, deceitful flattery, unreasonable bragging, misleading rumors, demotivating complaints, fake news and insignificant discussions which oppose your values.
