Introverts are not shy, they just don't care. They want real & raw. Authenticity and honesty. Not small talk, fake smiles, and meaningless hello's. They want your heart. Your soul. Your essence. They're not shy, you're just not worth their energy. But you won't get it.

Normalize friendships where you hike, read, learn new things, and better yourself.
I don’t want to be confined to a chair when I get older because I didn’t work on my mobility when I was young to sustain it. I want to be healthy and have some sort of a life in older age. Exercising is important. It’s not just aesthetic.
