I'm too introvert and neutral or nonchalant for this world. Sometimes I hate the fact that there's a lot of people here on earth. I want to fly to space. Then next school year the teacher would encourage us to become SSLG officer because next years we are senior high student then it's better if the officer is older but I don't have leadership skills. I don't want to participate.
Häufig gestellte Fragen
While teachers often encourage Senior High School students to take on SSLG officer roles, having a nonchalant or introverted personality is a valid way to experience school. Leadership skills are often associated with being outgoing, but introversion doesn't mean you lack value. If you feel you don't have the desire to participate in student leadership, it is important to recognize that your preference for solitude and a neutral demeanor is a personal trait, not a flaw that needs immediate fixing for a title.
The transition to Senior High School often brings increased pressure to join the SSLG to set an example for younger students. If you feel you lack leadership skills or suffer from social anxiety, this pressure can feel overwhelming. It is helpful to remember that student leadership is voluntary. You can acknowledge your teacher's encouragement while staying firm in your decision not to participate if the role doesn't align with your current mental well-being or your desire for a quieter school life.
Feeling like you are 'too introvert' for the world or wishing to escape to space are common reactions to social exhaustion and the high demands of student life. These feelings often stem from a mismatch between your natural temperament and the high-energy expectations of environments like SSLG leadership. Recognizing your need for space and your nonchalant nature is the first step in managing social anxiety and setting boundaries against school activities that feel draining rather than fulfilling.
