Completely rephrase this for me: Dear Introvert (and I'm talking to Myself as well), : COMMUNICATE! I know that shell you're living in feels all too comfortable, but it's so not ideal for you. You need to communicate. Communicate your feelings. Comm
Dear Introvert (and this goes for me too),
It's time to express yourself! I understand that staying inside your comfort zone feels safe, but it's not the healthiest choice for you.
You must share your feelings and your needs. Bottling everything up isn’t the answer, and you can’t tackle all your challenges on your own. If you don’t reach out, no one will truly understand what you’re going through.
I’ve experienced this myself, nearly my entire life, so believe me when I say it’s not the best path to take.
You don’t need to open up to everyone, but do find someone to talk to—whether that’s God, your family, your partner, or close friends. Let go of the burden of keeping everything inside, as it's vital for your mental well-being and your relationships.
So please, for your own good, communicate!

Dear Introvert (which includes myself too),
It's time to start communicating! I understand that your shell feels quite cozy, but it's not the healthiest place for you to be. You really need to express yourself. Share your feelings and your needs—keeping everything inside isn't good for your well-being. You can’t solve every problem on your own, and no one will understand your emotions unless you speak up.
I’ve been in that place for most of my life, so you can believe me when I say that it’s not beneficial for you to stay silent. You don’t have to share everything with everyone, but reach out to God, your family, your partner, and your true friends. Let yourself be free from the burden of holding everything in for the sake of your mental health and your relationships.
So please, communicate!
