Man, I just wish this book had been around when I was a teenager, I’d felt so much more understood! But I’m very happy that it’s here and that people are reading it and finding themselves in it. I’ve been okay with being ‘different’ than most for a long time, and a lot of my friends are pretty introverted but I still felt like a lot of the things I saw in this book were just me being silly. And that so many more people have as well, when I read the reviews and the tweets and such! There were things in there that I for years thought only I was going through (like feeling like you’re disappearing when making small talk) and honestly reading that someone else has experienced these things too has made me feel so much better about it. Honestly this entire book was so ridiculously relatable to me, that sometimes it almost felt like Tung had managed to grab hold of my diary. The collection shows her struggle from childhood (through flashbacks) through university to when she has a real ‘grown-up’ job, all the while struggling with the amounts of socialization that’s expected of her. More precisely, it’s about her discovering the concept of introversion and accepting herself. Quiet Girl in a Noisy World is a journal comic collection by Debbie Tung about her life as an introvert.
