It was nice to read about your journey, thanks a lot for sharing!

Not depressed or mentally ill, just socially awkward and shy. Thank you, Sarah! Twitter. . .Here I come!! \[inserts running man emoji here\] [Israel Abraham](https://hashnode.com/@israelabraham) [Nov 23, 2020](https://hashnode.com/posts/an-introverts-personal-guide-to-tech-twitter/5fbab7c1f16aa414b7d27b51/comment/5fbaff39f16aa414b7d28093) This is amazing!

I too have gained a lot while being active on Twitter 🤩 [Sarah Shook](https://hashnode.com/@shookcodes) [Nov 22, 2020](https://hashnode.com/posts/an-introverts-personal-guide-to-tech-twitter/5fbab7c1f16aa414b7d27b51/comment/5fbaed8af16aa414b7d27fb1#reply-5fbaf631f16aa414b7d28038) It really is a great platform!

Honestly, never could have guessed that you were an introvert, definitely not from our interactions atleast... Thanks for the mention and I hope you continue to enjoy this journey... 🙂🙌 [Sarah Shook](https://hashnode.com/@shookcodes) [Nov 22, 2020](https://hashnode.com/posts/an-introverts-personal-guide-to-tech-twitter/5fbab7c1f16aa414b7d27b51/comment/5fbae7a431929914d8ad6872#reply-5fbaf68a31929914d8ad695e) Thanks, Skay! Yes when interacting face-to-face with others, I am very shy and reserved. I feel much more comfortable interacting with others on Twitter, getting started was the hardest part!
