Thuso Mbedu touches many hearts after opening up about being introverted

In another story, Briefly News reported that actress Thuso Mbedu is one of the few South African talents making waves in the United States of America.

As an actress, her job requires a lot of socialising, like TV interviews, red-carpet events, or social appearances, and as an introvert, any of these could be Thuso's least favourite things to do.

Opening up on Twitter, she wrote:

"Being a real life introvert is actually the pits. Life will be great. Everything will be fine. Then you will just want to delete yourself from the situation unprovoked."
