To put it simply, the internet is my life. Yes I am fully aware that sounds strange but hear me out. I was born in 1994, by the time I was 4 we had computers in the classroom, ICT lessons were a part of my education – we grew up online.

I’ve built a job for myself from my love of the internet so, really, it is my life. But it’s also given me more than that – it’s given me the chance to interact with others as in introvert. I can talk to people from all over the globe, I get the majority of my clients online, whereas I don’t know if I would do as well going out and talking to people constantly.

I know that there are so many people, some of you reading this even, who feel like they can be themselves online. Hell, I know I can. I can spend my time talking about books, about mental health, about anything I feel like and find others who want to talk about it too. It’s a good feeling.

At times when I’m lonely I can hop on to a Twitter chat and talk to other people who, like me, might also be at home alone on a Friday night with not much to do but still wants to do something. Likewise there are times when I feel alone or I might be struggling with something, there will be someone else who feels the same or similar.

While most people who read my blog can’t believe I’m introverted, nor can some of my family members, I find trying to interact with large groups of people so exhausting and I can’t fake enthusiasm when I’m exhausted, but I do get lonely. It’s a great solution.

Are you an introvert that uses the internet? I’d love to hear from you below!
