"Many thoughts I have but little to say."
Hey, I am an introvert and I don't feel like it is my weakness or a flaw, neither it is something that stops me from doing things that I want. Rather, it's a gift for me. I have a simple approach to my life and I need my time to recharge myself.
I am not the only person who is an introvert, they are everywhere. Introverts are not antisocial or shy, it is just people's misconceptions. It is not always that networking, parties, and other phases aren't intended for us, we can find socializing, fun like anyone but after some time we need to recharge by staying away from everyone. People usually find loud, happy, and confident people attractive, while those who speak softly are easily left out.
Scientists also proposed that there are two chemicals in our brain, namely dopamine, and acetylcholine. When we are adventurous or meet new people, dopamine is like an energy stimulus, it makes the feeling of extroversion beautiful. But introverts are more sensitive to dopamine and get quickly over-stimulated. That's why we prefer the more slow-burn feeling we get when our brains release acetylcholine. What happens when we read or focus our minds. It makes us introverts feel relaxed, alert, and satisfied. But this is a bit in line with extroverts. Of course, like everything, it's a sliding scale. You can lean one way or another. Or be a chunk of both - called an ambivert.
And by the time I actually have understood myself better and I am thankful for who I am. I just listen patiently to make my words meaningful, instead of filling the room with small talks. I have few friends, but my connection with them is deep.
I have found a way to find comfort in this noisy world, using music to create bubbles in the world, so that I can escape to a quiet place. I like the depth of the world and the brilliance of chaos. I like being alone. Here, the chaos of a long day can finally be calmed down.
I can reflect and listen to my thoughts, and finally reconnect with myself. After that, I am ready to share with the world again. If society pays more attention to introversion, it may have a huge impact on our future. The definite characteristic of the introvert is undoubtedly a deep and silent force and in this way, you can shake the world.
Keep calm and read my life memoir! Goodbye!
