Being introvert

There is a common apprehension that people who maintain a calm, silent and less talkative demeanor have to undergo a rough tide in public. That’s true. People who shy away from talking struggle a lot to initiate a small talk in public. Called as ‘introverts’ - person who tends to shrink from social contacts and to become preoccupied with their own thoughts- also face the difficulty when their profession expects excellence in public speaking, listening etc. Even I believed the same till now.

Characteristics of Introverts
• Prefer spending time alone or with one or two close friends, especially when tired.
• Concentrate best when alone, and often give the impression of being quiet, calm and even mysterious.
• Feel that they gain energy and strength from being alone.

The problem rooted to this disorder is the way they have been raised from their childhood. The parents initially get acknowledged by the neighbors for raising their children to maintain a calm environment rather than making noise and mischievous attempts that makes difficult to control. But before throwing some brownie points over the parents lets try to throw some light over introversion. Lets try to sift some literatures that disproves its societal stature. And with this aspiration, I searched for some videos and this particular one threw me over surprise.
