I didn't realise being an introvert would make parenting so hard - I'm sure other introverts will recognise the common struggles we share. I also spoke to a psychotherapist about the difficulties of being a mother and an introvert, who shares some helpful advice.
Becoming a mum made me realise that I am actually an introvert, and my social awkwardness and innate shyness weren't traits that I'd grow out of, they were just who I was... and who I was made parenting feel so much harder.
