Fitting in is important. One is required to go with the flow, blend with the trend in order to survive.
Not everyone has the ability to do that. Some people are just different from the rest. They are unique in their own way. Being accepted by people around us is something that can never be predicted. What may be boring to some may be the trendiest thing ever to a different crowd.
The thing is, all of us want to be accepted in society. On being treated as an outcast, we look for a different crowd to mingle with, or rebel against those who rejected us, or keep trying to do things that will make us acceptable in the eyes of others.
Being all by yourself is the most difficult thing to do. When it is a single person against many it feels like the whole world is against you. Darwin's theories are still valid. If you project yourself as a weak person, the world will consume you in no time.

You can take a stand, dare to be different. Facing the consequences and living with them requires tons of courage.
When the world casts you aside, know that you're safe.
It's true.
People only take advantage of others when there is something that can be held against that person. Those who are manipulated for all the wrong reasons is because the people who did that to them knew what they did or how they felt on the inside.
No one can make you feel inferior or use your thoughts and feelings against you if they don't know what they are in the first place. Enemies strike at the point of weakness. By keeping all weaknesses, secrets and feelings concealed all harm can be avoided. It's not important what others think of you. Only what you feel inside does. So showing your true self to the world is not necessary. Don't let them know who you truly are, what you are capable of.
Being an introvert keeps your ideas, beliefs, thoughts, secrets and feelings safe. Keeps you safe. It's like having a protective shield around yourself at all times. You won't need others to make you feel safe. You will protect yourself. You will be your own person.
Live for yourself. Fight for yourself. Be yourself. Without having to worry about the rest of the world.
It's not loneliness, it's called freedom.
