The Curse of Being Extrovert

Being friendly and always the centre of attention may sound like a bliss to many people but its not always that. A little voice in the mind of those people always say that “Will these people also come and help them the way they do for the people?” And this lead to unsaid anxiety and overthinking.

“Why do I always have to bring the energy? … People recharge me, I don’t like how dependent I’ve become to others. If I’m forced to be alone with my own thoughts for more than an hour I feel so drained.”

It may sound all dreamy to have many friends and a social circle but nobody actually knows that the constant fear of being all alone and left out leads the people to rely upon others for their own happiness. Does it make us a people pleaser???

From my experience this extrovert energy has made me not only a big overthinker but also sometimes holding back alot of thoughts as i don’t want to hurt the people around me. Maybe that is the reason why i sometimes feel like a pushover if i exaggerate a bit or just a person who is just a free therapist for everyone.

Honestly, we just need to enjoy this energy but how much draining it can be is really hard to express. We need to be constantly availabe , consatntly giving, constantly smiling but what about real us???? What about our own feelings , our own burden ???

“Connection is beautiful until it becomes a cage.”

I think what people like us need to do is just be with those people who actually appreciates our energy but also makes sure to understand your mind and heart. There are always people around who actually knows the real us and we just need to open our heart to them . This will act like a cure to our overthinking . In this we will be able to use our gift that is provided to us from the universe to be used in positive manner and spread the happiness all around…….
