Standing in shadows
hoping not to be noticed
yet begging to be
This Haiku would lead you to believe that an introvert is a socially shy person. While that can be true, being an introvert doesn’t necessarily mean social anxiety. It means people with this personality trait tend to be more inward focused. They turn more to internal thoughts, feelings and moods rather than external attention – like in this haiku which I posted here on August 6, 2017:
The Introvert – 101
She is just a girl
whose sunlight stays inside her
silently shining
Wishing a good day to all my fellow introverts!
It’s Only Words #9

I love it! Nice haikus. Also thank you for explaining that being an introvert doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re shy or socially anxious. A lot of people still confuse that. 🙂
Kind regards from a German introvert!
