Unless you're naturally introverted it can be difficult to imagine how draining social situations can be for the more introverted among us.

In an effort to shed light on the lived experience of an introverted individual, 18-year-old Rabai Kapoor performed a spoken word poem which has struck a chord with thousands of people around the world

Charming and insightful, the teen explained how watching other people interact with each other can leave her feeling insecure and – in some cases – downright envious.

"I hate people with charisma, and self-confidence, and their lack of social anxiety," she told her audience. "And then go up to people and start conversations. Who does that?!"

Reaching out to her fellow introverts, Rabia said: "This is for the people who have great ideas and funny anecdotes to share, who never get heard." 

"The people who could potentially change your life, but are talked over," she added.

Commenting on the video which has been viewed thousands of times since its upload in recent days, Rabia told BuzzFeed: "I don’t write poems, but I wrote this when my friend convinced me to perform at Open Sky Slam."

"I was petrified and I refused for a very long time," she admitted. "To know that I’d be on the stage with a mic, in front of 300 people, and no one would interrupt me – it was a frightening thought."

"But I’ve received messages from people about the poem, and it’s so overwhelming," she said.

One to watch, ladies.
