Are you an introvert who's tired of being misunderstood or labeled as "intimidating"? From our quiet nature to our tendency to think before speaking, introverts often give off signals that can be misinterpreted by others. Introverts often face a stigma that they are intimidating, unapproachable, or even unfriendly. This perception can be frustrating for introverts who feel misunderstood and unfairly judged. It can also be a barrier to forming meaningful connections and relationships. So we made this video to reduce the stigma.
