On this world, We are born with each special characteristic to fulfill a very special purpose. Most of us are mostly introverts or extroverts by nature. If you asking about me, it seems that i belong to an introvert person. Most people tends to value extroverts more highly than introverts, perhaps that’s because extroverts are in the majority. However introversion is not a problem or disease, nor is it something to be ashamed of or ‘cured’. In many ways introverts have advantages over extroverts.

Here is some typical of introvert person, i mixed it from different source together.

  1. Introverts tend to get their energy from within. After a day filled with people or activities, introverts tend to feel exhausted and empty. To recharge their batteries introverts need to be alone reading, daydreaming, painting, or gardening – any solo activity fills them up again. This doesn’t mean introverts have to live alone in a cave in the hills or on Walden Pond; they just need quiet time to come back to themselves.
  2. Introverts are more private, and less public. Introverts need time to think before responding to a situation, and develop their ideas by reflecting privately
  3. Introverts are thoughtful, they have lots of thoughts and ideas, many are creative, but many are ashamed to share their thoughts to the world
  4. Consider only deep friendship as one to one.
  5. Are often good listener.
  6. People with introverted personalities have an inward focus and aren’t usually the “life of the party.”

Many times that poeple often blames the introverts personalities, from a book that was written by Marti Olsen Laney, Psy.D, titled “The Introvert Advantage” , There are several reasons why the introvert personality  is OK:

  1. Introverts are not antisocial. Introvert does enjoy communicate with people, but they choose it on one by one way.
  2. Introverts enjoys being alone to recharge their energy. Introverts are rechargeable batteries who need to stop expending energy and rest in order to recharge, while extroverts are solar panels who need the sun to recharge, they need to be out and about to refuel and recharge themselves.
  3. Introverts value being authentic. This might be the reason why the introverts do not like to talk much when they have nothing to say, they are just authentic, they do as who they are and what they believe.
  4. Introverts are self-reflective and good learn. Indeed Introverts are intuitive and analytical.

Some times people often told that introvert and autis is a similar things. Based on my another reading material i got that introversion and autism are very different issues. Introverted person have normal social relationships and form close attachments with parents and with peers. Introverts do not exhibit the repetitive behavior, such as rocking or head banging, that characterizes autism. Nor do innies display the uncanny ‘savant’ quality of, say, being able to recall random lists of numbers that sometimes signals these conditions.”
