Being an introvert at university can be difficult. Student socialising is geared towards extroverts, with orientation camps, intro meetings, and Friday nights out all leading to social anxiety. University of Copenhagen student Camilla L\u00e6rke L\u00e6rkesen has five tips for other introverts such as herself.<\/p>\n

Camilla is a self-confessed introvert at the University of Copenhagen who recently outed herself in a featured comment <\/a> to clear up misconceptions about introverts.<\/p>\n

In this opinion piece Camilla told the story how she is the “kind of person who goes to a party and hides in the bathroom. The kind of person who goes to bed early on the university’s intro party.”<\/p>\n

\u201cI never thought I\u2019d be a good spokesperson\u201d says Camilla, who nevertheless gives out some helpful advice to those who consider themselves introverts<\/p>\n

1. Accept yourself as you are<\/h2>\n

I know it sounds clich\u00e9, but it is often extroverted types who will dominate a situation or encounter, so an introvert needs to explain and defend their need to recharge alone. You are an introvert, and that\u2019s okay.<\/p>\n

2. Choose someone to confide in<\/h2>\n

“You don\u2019t have to declare \u201cI\u2019m an introvert\u201d to everyone. Be open to a few people when at a party that you\u2019re not up for a crazy table dance in the middle of a Friday night out. That way you can escape the guilt that comes with telling white lies. ”<\/p>\n

3. Walk into large events with a friend<\/h2>\n

“If you are attending a large event and feel intimidated by the number of people, take a friend so you have someone to talk to and don\u2019t have to enter alone.”<\/p>\n

4. Make a promise to yourself<\/h2>\n

“For example, I have a rule that I never leave an event with a bad experience. I will allow myself to go home early, but I always have to leave on a good note, like a nice conversation. That way I don\u2019t go home feeling bad or awkward. ”<\/p>\n

5. Get inspired by literature<\/h2>\n

“In Danish I recommend Anna Skyggebjergs book \u2019Introvert\u2019 or Susain Cain\u2019s book \u2019Quiet\u2019, both hold up a useful mirror from which to reflect on being an introvert.”<\/p>\n
