Hey everyone! 
I’ve been thinking a lot about this idea that introverts struggle to make friends, and I’m curious what you all think. Is it really true, or is it just a stereotype we’ve all kind of accepted?
From what I’ve seen, introverts can actually be amazing at building deep, meaningful connections. Sure, they might not be the first to strike up a conversation at a party, but when they do connect with someone, it’s often on a whole different level. I’ve noticed a few things that make introverts stand out when it comes to friendships:
- Active listening: They’re often great at really hearing what you’re saying, which makes people feel valued.
- Quality over quantity: They tend to have a smaller circle, but those friendships are usually super strong.
- Thoughtful communication: They’re not just talking to fill the silence—they mean what they say.
That said, I do think introverts might face some challenges in super social settings, like networking events or big group hangouts. But is that really about being “bad” at making friends, or is it more about being selective and intentional?
What’s your take? Do you think introverts struggle more, or is it just a different approach to friendship? And if you’re an introvert yourself, I’d love to hear how you navigate social situations! Let’s chat.
