Life is not as smooth as one expects to be. It’s a roller coaster ride with highs and lows. Life does not come with disclaimer and there are times that you pass through a tough face without even knowing maybe because you were so engrossed in overcoming it that you never realized.

I also went through such a phase during the younger days of my life and today when I look back, I feel proud that I tackled it strongly. I use to be an introvert back in school. It used to be a humongous task for me to start a conversation with anyone and even difficult to keep it going.

As life moved ahead and I passed my high school, it was time for me to move out of my hometown, my home or to jot it better, my comfort zone. I moved to another city to start preparing to get into a college and had to stay in a hostel. For an introvert person like me it was a great deal to get accommodated to all the changes. I was a fish out of water. Schooling, coaching, side activities all struck me hard and I was confused how to handle them alone.

I realized that I need to have new friends and gel up with people I have just met. Feeling lonely and disconnecting from the world can be depressing. To overcome this, I started to come out of my shell and be more interactive. From being an introvert, I tried being an ambivert because socializing is equally important. I was so involved in coping up with all this that I did not realize that what an important aspect in life I have achieved of being able to express yourself socially and being able to say out your perspective. I cannot stay unheard. Putting forward what I feel was important to have a say on what is right and what is wrong.

When I look back now I feel how drastically I have changed from an introvert to an ambivert. How I am able to put forward my point and have a say against things which are wrong. Its important because the world outside is not as dreamy as it seems to be.
