Misunderstood, misjudged, misinterpreted;
emotional, sensitive, easily overwhelmed.
Often perceived as arrogant,
self-centered and distant.
Hate’s confrontation;
finds solace in art, be it of any form.
Love living life in their imaginations,
where they create a world
filled with endless possibilities.
Laugh the loudest when hurt the most,
their emotions they hide like a thief.
Might seem detached,
always lost in their own thoughts;
although quite the jabber
once you know them.
Don’t be deceived by the mask they wear,
they seem to be as hard as a coconut shell outside,
but are soft and sweet inside.
Dear introverts out there, this poem is dedicated to us all. 💖
#I am a little bit of all the 4 types of introvert, “Social, thinking, anxious and restrained or inhibited introvert.” Which type of introvert are you? I you still haven’t figured it out watch the video down below to find out which introvert you are. 👇

I’m an INFP introvert, according to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (extremely introverted). Your poem resonates so well with me, almost as if it was written with me in mind. You’re a wonderful writer, Daphny, and your words are deep and meaningful. Well done! 🙂

According to that I am an INFJ-T introvert(some people brings out the extrovert in me). 😁
It is for us introverts so everyone was in mind while writing it and I am really glad you resonate with it. Thank you so much for your kind words, it means a lot. 🤗

Some people don’t really shine the way they deserve to as it gets hard for them. Extroverts feels easier to blend in and shine while for introverts it becomes an issue.

Finally!! Thank you for this, Daph. Now I know that I am a restrained introvert, hah. I could resonate with most of the aspects in the poem and then the video too made them clear by putting them in categories. What an amazing post! This is just why I always miss your posts. They are really very helpful, dear. Thanks for returning joy and marveling onto our faces with this charming piece.

The title’s just perfect because that’s what the poem’s about. Look at this: “Love living life in their imaginations,
where they create a world
filled with endless possibilities.” That cleverly rolls it up into a beautiful thought about who we are. 👏 Plausible!!! ❤💕❤

A beautiful tribute, dear Daphny. Though I perform often as extroverted, I am deeply introverted and have a large inner life. This is the paradox of these styles. One may seem one style, yet also possess others, as you write. As a child I was often labeled as sensitive and shy, which became an embarrassment for me. Today, I embrace my sensitivity as it is a true gift. Love this poem and post. 💖💖💖
