Introvert or Shy? The Truth Behind the Law of
Introversion!

• Whenever I get free time, I like to watch a
  movie, read a book or just take a nap. Many
  people ask me why dont I like to hang around
  with people, or why dont I go to parties. My
  instant replies to these questions are, I am an
  introvert, but the reply which I get back hits
  me hard because people mistake introversion for
  Shyness. This is a battle many introverts
  fight, but eventually, give up because not a lot
  many people understand the concept of
  Introversion correctly.

• So many years have passed, and still many people,
  including my parents, believe that I am shy and
  afraid of social gatherings. There is no doubt
  that I am not a fan of parties but having said
  that, I dont mean that I am SCARED of parties or
  meeting new people. Being an introvert invites
  too many questions like Do you ever have fun?,
  How can you enjoy solitude? That is just
  insane!  Now, most of the times, these questions
  are better left unanswered.
• Introverts are misjudged by the society and are
  labelled Shy, Serious and even Freak. The
  truth is that the fact that someone can find
  happiness by spending some alone time scares a
  few people who look for happiness outside. It is
  my firm belief that introverts should be treated
  the same as extroverts. Why? Because it is not a
  choice, but a Personality Type!

Here are 8 Interesting Facts About Introversion

• 1. Introverts are Keen Observers
• Introverts observe almost everything around them.
  An introvert will remember every small detail of
  his or her surroundings. It is because the brain
  of an introvert treats interactions with people
  at the same intensity level that it treats
  encounters with inanimate objects. Introverts pay
  proper attention to all the sensory details in
  the environment, and not just the people. That is
  the main reason why introverts are excellent
  observers and do very well in jobs that require
  keen observation skills like Writing, Research,
  Analyst, Sociologists and so on.
• 2. Introverts are Highly Intuitive
• Because introverts observe so much, they develop
  good intuitive skills. People develop intuitive
  skills by paying attention to what is happening
  around them and use all the senses to observe the
  surroundings. And as already stated in the above
  point introverts are keen observers of
  everything which also develops their intuitive
  skills.

• 3. Introverts Love to Talk
• Many people believe that Introverts dont like to
  talk, and want to stay away from others as much
  as can. Well, this is a misconception! Introverts
  have great listening skills, and they do love to
  talk. It is just that they usually do not like
  long, monotonous conversations. Introverts
  usually like to talk about whats happening in
  their surroundings with someone they connect
  really well with. One cannot expect an introvert
  to talk openly with a stranger in the first
  meeting introverts take time to open up. But
  once they do, they can talk about many
  interesting things and that too for long hours.
• 4. Introverts Need a Lot of Me-Time
• Introverts do not want to feel lonely, but they
  sure like having some alone time where they can
  just sit tight and think deeply about various
  things. Introverts respect their personal space
  and need time to recharge. They like to spend
  time alone, read a book and analyse it later, get
  chores done or finish off their assignment.
• This happens because introverts brains run on an
  energy-conserving system nervous system, which
  means that they need to recharge themselves from
  time to time to stay happy and content. That is
  the sole reason why introverts feel energised and
  content when thinking deeply, reading a book, or
  exploring their inner self.

• 5. Surprises or Risks Do Not Excite Them Much
• Dopamine neurotransmitters activate the brains
  pleasure and reward system. Introverts brains
  are not as strongly rewarded for taking risks or
  gambling as extroverts brain are. According to
  many studies, extroverts brains respond with
  more pleasure to positive gambling results. Thus,
  it came out as the fact that an element of
  surprise or risk does not give much excitement to
  introverts.
• 6. Introverts have Superb Decision-Making Skills
• When introverts think about a particular matter,
  they try and collect thoughts and memory that are
  stored in their long-term memory. Introverts
  mostly compare old and new experiences when
  making a decision, and that is why they take
  plenty of time to take a decision. But once they
  do it often leads to an appropriately
  thought-out decision.

• 8. Introversion is Not A Mental Problem
• Many people think that introversion is abnormal
  and should be fixed. On the other hand, people
  believe that extroversion denotes good mental
  health and is the hallmark of confidence. But
  these facts are inaccurate and being an introvert
  is completely normal. It is a personality type
  wherein people derive energy from within
  themselves.
• For quiet, sensitive souls, solitude is the
  golden thread that unites us with our inner
  world. We need quiet to connect the dots in our
  constellations of thought. Michaela Cung The
