Hello, VoiceTubers. This is Nina with another episode of the Pronunciation Challenge. Do you feel kinda uncomfortable being surrounded by people you're unfamiliar with? Do you need some alone or quiet time every now and then? Do you prefer to write rather than talk? If your answers to these questions are positive, you are probably an introvert. Being an introvert isn't bad as long as you're satisfied with how you live. But if you are not so happy about your social life and don't know where to start to make a change, here are some suggestions for introverts. Let's take a look at today's video and check out the three things introverts should avoid doing.
And today’s sentence is…

Alright, that's all for today's episode. As an introvert, I enjoy being with myself and having some alone time. But sometimes, I do get jealous of outgoing people who are good at making friends, and wonder why they have such enriching social lives. However, one thing people often forget is that every relationship needs investment. It's simple. You probably won't have a vibrant social life if you don't invest enough in your relationships. So, if you do want a more active social life, don't let your fear stop you from saying yes to the opportunities to meet new friends! After all, if you don't try, you'll never know. Okay. Thanks for staying tuned till the end of this episode. As always, don't forget to record today's sentence. And I'll see you next time.
