"Introverts are often excellent at masking their emotions, because we have to constantly adapt to an extroverted world." - Michaela Chung
Hiding yourself from the world feels like wearing a mask that you can never take off. It's a constant battle between the need to connect with others and the fear of being judged or taken advantage of. You keep your guard up, hesitant to reveal your true self. The mask becomes a shield that protects you but also holds you back. You long to let your guard down and be seen for who you really are, but the risk feels too great. So you remain hidden, watching from the sidelines, afraid to take the leap into the unknown.
