I am judged and mistreated because of my introverted personality. 

I am judged and mistreated because of my introverted personality.

THOUGHTS 

I’m thinking about that I’ll be able to handle things on my own, that I’ll be able to live without them, and that I’ll need to learn to set boundaries in order to protect my feelings.

ACTION 

I let my silence tell them that their behavior bothers me, and as a result, I ignore them and refuse to contact them when they need me.

FEELINGS  

No one seems to accept my introverted personality. I’m a little disappointed that my friends couldn’t consider and understand me.

📍SCENARIO 📍

One time we went to a fast food restaurant together with my two friends. My friend took our order because she has a lot of experience purchasing food, so the two of us waited on our table. When the food arrived, one of my friend complained that there was a missing item and asked me to bring her concern to the attention of the store manager. I am hesitant to do it because it appears to be intriguing and has the potential to attract the attention of other customers and so I declined because I am not comfortable doing so. She became enraged with me and threatened to end our friendship. She stated that because I am an introvert, I am not a good friend to keep. As a result, I flee and promise myself that I will no longer assist her in academics because I know she is solely reliant on me.
