I'm an introvert since I was really small. I struggled to fit in with groups and friend circles through major parts of my life and i still struggle occasionally. I find myself in uncomfortable situation that I could have easily avoided in the first place if only I had courage to say "No". There are times when I really hate how I perceive the world and how the world perceives me.
When people usually think of introverts, they think of the words anti-social, quiet and/or shy. Contrary to popular belief, that is not the case. Introverts can be and generally are creative, passionate, thoughtful and much more. Of course I do get click with any person instantly. It takes time for me to open up me feelings to a person.
Being an introvert in an extroverted world can be tough. Introversion is still seen as an 'Issue to be fixed'.Growing up I had always felt different from others, so I tried to become like others.

I do get appreciate a lot too from people who truly understands me. They say I'm a humble and good listener. However I wish I could express myself like others do. The way they handle the crowd without any issue. That's hard for me. Especially when I'm centered I find myself in the most uncomfortable situation. So I try to avoid such situation as much as possible. I'm not able to express what I want to express and my opinion remains unheard.
I'm a passionate and peace loving person. I do not do anything that purposely do harm to others. That had been nature since I was really small. I do not like conflicts and I do not do well in group works. However given an opportunity i can excel in various fields. Over the years I have accumulated lots of skills, including programming (my main source of income).
So What I really Like
-I do comparatively lot better with one to one conversation rather than in groups.
-I like working alone, late at night, with coffee or fuzzy drinks. :)
-I absolutely love music and play lots of them.
-I love playing basketball.
-I love foods and enjoy going to different restaurants with my girlfriend.
-I love to travel either alone or with fewer groups
-I do lots of reading. I do not watch lots of movies
So how come I can come to claim myself as an Entrepreneur?
Over the years I have pushed myself beyond my comfort zone. I have tried to alter my attitude to adapt to different situation without actually affecting my actually personality. I deal with situation with humbleness and calm.
It all started 2 years ago when I was approached my a restaurant owner who needed to promote his restaurant digitally. It was there where i learned a lots of thing. I was forced to face lots of people and deal with them and it took me nearly a month to actually get used to it. From there point on I met lots of people.
I started a T-shirt and garment business which is still operational. I still build websites and do graphics designing as my main job. I started an e-commerce company which failed withing few months. And now I also own a restaurant and a bakery. I must say I succeed more than I previously imagined but I still feel like I could have done a lot more if only I had talking skill like others.
