Erica Nondi

My name is Erica Nondi, and I only found out that I was an introvert when I was 13 years old. I’m 15 now, and I’ve learnt a lot about myself throughout these two years.

When I was a child, I loved dancing and singing, and I would do it in front of everyone when I got the chance. I was more confident as a child (I know it’s supposed to be the other way round, but not for me) and as I grew older, once I started going to school, I became more shy and introverted. I started reading more books, writing more stories and I became quieter. I lost most of my friends. I can’ t tell you the number of people I used to be very close with, and rarely talk to them anymore now, including family members. Neither can I explain how or what made me become introverted all of a sudden, but I love it.
