Opposite of extrovert. A person who is energized by spending time
alone. Often found in their homes, libraries, quiet parks that not many
people know about, or other secluded places, introverts like to think and be alone.
Contrary to popular belief, not all introverts are shy. Some
may have great social lives and
love talking to their friends but just need some time to be alone to "recharge" afterwards. The word "Introvert" has negative connotations that need to be destroyed. Introverts are simply misunderstood because the majority of the population consists of extroverts.
Extrovert: Oh my
god, you're so shy! You need to get out more!
Introvert: But it's so draining - I
don't have a problem with going out; I just want to stay at
home and read sometimes, y'know?
