Not to be confused with shyness.
ntroversion is a temperament. it'
s inbuild and cannot be changed. It makes up the special you. Introverted
people gain their energy from their own, complexed inner world, and tend to feel exhausted when they have to interact A LOT with
people. (exrtoverted
people gain their energy from the people around them)Whereas shyness is a form of anxiety. It's when you worry about what people will think, say or do about you if you do something. It's a symptom caused by many many factors, while Introversion is JUST YOU.
I'm a very introverted person. Though I tend to be charismatic, and
people gather around me. I'm very
lonely, and tend to only enjoy being with myself, and learning about myself. I have to think a lot because my brain uses its frontal lobe, and stores things in my long term memory bank. AS you know I'm
American, and I live in a very extroverted society. Where fast talk, and acting on impulse is valued more than careful planning, and meaniful thinking.
