9 Songs For Introverts

Us introverts are often a misunderstood bunch. No, we're not always shy or have a social phobia, but we do appreciate our alone time. Extroverts recharge by being around people, whereas the introverted population favors solitude to get our energy levels up. But what happens when you're out at karaoke and the spotlight suddens shines on you? You get up and sing, of course! That's why I compiled a list of songs for introverts.

So what makes a song perfect for an introvert? In some cases, it lets us use our more reserved sides to perform it. (I'm looking at you, ballads!) Other tracks are a tongue-in-cheek play on the fact that we like to spend time by ourselves. Some of the songs acknowledge qualities introverts tends to have, like being observant or thoughtful, or the fact that introverts usually have small groups of close friends. In any event, these tracks celebrate an introvert's personality and lifestyle because we all recharge in our own ways.
