I'm a huge introvert but I think a lot of people have a misconception of what an introvert truly is. When I say I'm an introvert a lot of people might jump to conclusions and think anti-social or someone who doesn't like people but this is really not true. Actually a lot of

我是一個非常內向的人，但我認為很多人對內向者的真正含義存在誤解。當我說我是一個內向的人時，很多人可能會得出結論，認為我是一個反社會的人，或者是一個不喜歡與人交往的人，但事實並非如此。其實很多人

Americans are very introverted but we're also pretty polite and nice so some people might confuse this with being outgoing but that's just a stereotype and also sometimes I feel like when people think of 你得大大方方的 they'd force themselves to be outgoing but I really don't think this is necessary. I think just being polite and nice and caring and treating others with respect is really all you need and you also won't get exhausted from trying to be something that you're not. But being introverted doesn't mean that I can't socialize or make friends and humans are very multifaceted. I know a lot of people have classified themselves as introverts so they feel like that means they have to live in the way the public views introverts. I think in the past

美國人非常內向，但我們也非常有禮貌和友善，所以有些人可能會把這與外向混為一談，但這只是一種刻板印象，有時我覺得當人們想到你得大大方方的時候，他們會強迫自己變得外向，但我真的不認為這是必要的。我認為，只要有禮貌、和藹可親、關心他人、尊重他人就足夠了，而且你也不會因為試圖成為一個不是自己的人而精疲力竭。但內向並不意味著我不能社交或交朋友，人類是多面的。我知道很多人都把自己歸類為內向者，所以他們覺得這意味著他們必須按照公眾對內向者的看法生活。我認為在過去

I was also confused by myself because I would normally be really shy and quiet in most situations but if I was around my close friends then I could be super loud and I love to make other people laugh. And being an introvert doesn't mean I don't like people or I'm anti-social or something like that. That's really not the case at all. I just get my energy from spending time alone so in my alone time I feel more recharged and being around people can feel really draining. Spending time with others for a shorter period of time is great but for longer periods of time I do start to feel a bit exhausted. As a result of this I do spend a lot of time alone. But being alone doesn't have to mean being lonely. I really enjoy my time alone. I don't feel any pressure to socialize and I don't feel like I have to force myself to be a certain way, be more outgoing so more people will like me.

我也對自己感到困惑，因為通常在大多數情況下，我都會非常害羞和安靜，但如果在我親密的朋友身邊，我就會變得超級大聲，我喜歡逗別人笑。性格內向並不意味著我不喜歡與人交往或反社會之類的。真的完全不是這樣。我只是從獨處中獲得能量，所以在獨處的時候我會感覺更有活力，而與人相處則會讓我感覺非常疲憊。與人相處的時間短一點很好，但時間長了，我就會開始覺得有點精疲力竭。是以，我經常獨處。但獨處並不意味著孤獨。我非常享受獨處的時光。我不覺得有任何社交壓力，也不覺得我必須強迫自己以某種方式表現自己，讓自己更外向，讓更多人喜歡我。

I think society paints being alone or spending time alone as a kind of weird thing and as a result of this some people feel weird or awkward going out to eat or going to the movies alone.

我認為社會將獨處或獨處的時間描繪成一種怪異的事情，是以有些人獨自外出吃飯或看電影時會感到怪異或尷尬。

But this can actually hold us back from really enjoying our lives. We don't need to wait for other people to have free time to go and do something that we want to do. If I want to try something new or go somewhere I don't need to rely on other people. I can just go myself. For me being alone means being able to enjoy my life on my terms. It's helped me gain more independence and also feel more confident. I used to be really anxious going out and doing things alone. I felt scared that other people were watching me and judging me for being alone. But honestly nobody cares what you're doing. Every time I say I enjoy spending time alone there will always be someone arguing with me and saying you have a boyfriend. But having a partner is way different from having friends and it wouldn't be a healthy relationship if I relied on my boyfriend for all of my happiness.

但這實際上會阻礙我們真正享受生活。我們不需要等別人有空閒時間時才去做自己想做的事。如果我想嘗試新事物或去某個地方，我不需要依賴其他人。我可以自己去。對我來說，獨處意味著能夠按照自己的意願享受生活。這讓我更加獨立，也讓我更加自信。以前，我一個人外出和做事時會非常焦慮。我害怕別人在看我，害怕別人因為我一個人而責備我。但說實話，沒人在乎你在做什麼。每次我說我喜歡獨處的時候，總會有人和我爭論，說你有男朋友了。但有伴侶和有朋友是完全不同的，如果我把所有的快樂都依賴於我的男朋友，那就不是一種健康的關係。

I still spend most of my time alone because that's what I like. This is my choice. And my boyfriend and I also have very different hobbies. So we do things together but I also don't want to drag him around and do things that he has no interest in. So sometimes if I want to go watch a movie, if I want to go do something, I can just do it myself and I don't need to feel like I have to wait for him or I have to force him to go and do something with me. And when I say I don't have many friends a lot of people will say

我大部分時間還是獨處，因為我喜歡獨處。這是我的選擇。我和男友的愛好也大相徑庭。所以我們會一起做一些事情，但我也不想拖著他做他不感興趣的事情。所以有時候如果我想去看電影，想去做某件事情，我可以自己去做，我不需要覺得我必須等他，或者我必須強迫他和我一起去做某件事情。當我說我沒有很多朋友時，很多人會說

Some people have a habit of judging a girl's value by how much attention and approval she gets from other boys and even attach their own value to what their friends think of them. Not having many friends does not mean not having a single friend at all. It's just that I don't like to take the initiative to make friends and at the same time I also feel like my self-worth comes from myself and not from other people. I'm also just the kind of person who really needs alone time. I think the key point for really enjoying being alone and spending time alone is actually liking yourself.

有些人習慣於以其他男孩對自己的關注和認可程度來判斷一個女孩的價值，甚至將自己的價值與朋友對自己的看法聯繫在一起。朋友不多並不意味著一個朋友都沒有。只是我不喜歡主動去交朋友，同時我也覺得我的自我價值來自我自己，而不是別人。我也是那種非常需要獨處時間的人。我認為真正享受獨處和獨處時間的關鍵點在於真正喜歡自己。

So I feel fine being alone. I enjoy spending my time alone because I like who I am and I like being able to be creative and work on my hobbies without feeling like other people next to me are judging me or watching me. One of my hobbies is that I love making videos. Some people might be thinking, if you were a true introvert you wouldn't be able to make these videos, but that's totally not true. Being an introvert doesn't mean I can't make videos. And it also took me a really long time. It took me years to feel comfortable in front of the camera like this.

所以我覺得一個人很好。我喜歡獨處的時光，因為我喜歡我自己，我喜歡能夠發揮自己的創造力，從事自己的愛好，而不會覺得旁邊的其他人在評判我或注視著我。我的愛好之一就是喜歡製作視頻。有些人可能會想，如果你是一個真正內向的人，你就不會製作這些視頻了，但事實並非如此。內向並不意味著我不能製作視頻。我也花了很長時間。我花了好幾年的時間，才在鏡頭前感覺如此自如。

This is still something that I'm doing totally alone and this creative process is also really important for me. If there was someone in the room with me right now that would be a totally different story. I would feel really awkward and embarrassed and I wouldn't be able to say a single word. So just because you're an introvert, it doesn't mean you have to confine yourself to this box. And if you have dreams of doing something, you should just go do it and don't let this hold you back. I don't think being an introvert is a bad thing. It's just who you are. And there are plenty of good things about being an introvert that nobody talks about. And at the end of the day, life is about creating your own happiness and finding things that bring you joy. When you stop caring about what other people think and you're able to fully enjoy being alone with yourself, you'll start to become more independent and truly happy with who you are.

這仍然是我一個人在做的事情，這個創作過程對我來說也非常重要。如果現在有人和我在一起，情況就完全不同了。我會感到非常尷尬和難堪，一句話也說不出來。所以，並不能因為你是個內向的人，就一定要把自己侷限在這個框框裡。如果你有做某件事情的夢想，你就應該去做，不要讓它阻礙你。我不認為內向是件壞事。你就是這樣的人。內向的人也有很多優點，只是沒人提起而已。說到底，生活的意義在於創造自己的幸福，找到能帶給你快樂的事情。當你不再在意別人的看法，能夠充分享受與自己獨處的樂趣時，你就會開始變得更加獨立，並真正為自己的身份感到快樂
