Are you an introvert? Here’s how to survive all the attention on your wedding

As an introvert, one of the hardest parts of adulting is to be socially proactive. As adults, we meet so many people who are not part of our inner circle for work, in parties, in social situations, and almost always are expected to make conversations with them. 

Some introverts hate being at events from the get go and some are perfectly fine socialising, but to a certain limit. Irrespective of what type of an introvert you are, events such as a wedding can leave you feeling drained. In fact, you may also experience a sensory overload. 

If it’s someone else’s wedding, you’re still okay because you won’t be the centre of attention. But what will you do if it’s your own? There will be so many eyes on you, so many people who will want to talk to you. 

Dreading it already? These tips will help the introvert in you survive all the attention at your wedding!

Get some ‘me time’ before the wedding 

Introverts recharge themselves by being with themselves. If you’ve not had enough ‘me time’, you will feel low on energy and will crave to be alone, which is not possible at your own wedding. 

Have a low-key wedding

If you hate having too much attention on you, keep your wedding as subdued as possible. Sure, during the rituals all eyes will be on you and your bae; there is no escaping that. But you can get your couple shoot done in an area that doesn’t have a lot of people. Cut down whatever makes you uncomfortable without hesitation. It’s your own wedding and you deserve to enjoy it.

Have a high-energy meal 

If you end up skipping meals, you will be hangry and annoyed with attention. You need the energy and the calm to get through hours and hours of socialising. 

Let your loved ones know in advance 

People who are close to you won’t judge you. In all probability, they are already aware that you are an introvert. So let them know that you don’t want to be thrown into random situations or forced to dance or sing or do anything that makes you uncomfortable. 

Know it will all be over 

You will be done with the wedding and will go home with your partner. It’s the beginning of an eternity. Plan a holiday or a massage for after the wedding so you have something to look forward to it.
