At what point can you consider yourself a true introvert? When you start thinking a warm and cozy bed more comfortable than the chaotic, bustling outside world, you might be becoming an «insider». Of course, there will be other warning signs as well: like commenting on YouTube videos, staring silently into the peep-hole when someone knocks at your door, and purchasing a weighted blanket in the only color it comes in– mental illness grey. 

Introversion doesn’t happen overnight either. What lures you into the lifestyle of avoiding humanity is the comfort and bliss of controlled environments, like your apartment, which you can regulate and change according to your will. Most importantly, you don’t have to answer stupid questions from strangers and acquaintances when you’re in your own space. You’re no longer subject to questioning or ridicule from anyone but yourself… but I guess that’s a whole different can-of-worms, isn’t it?
