Introvert insight:


Introverts are word economists in a society suffering from verbal diarrhea.

I’m self-sufficient.
I spend a lot of time on my own and I shut off quite easily.
When I communicate, I communicate 900 per cent, then I shut off, which scares people sometimes.

– Bjork.
 
Though introverts are drained by interaction, we can take immense pleasure in watching the scene around us.

– Laurie Helgoe.

I'll read my books and I'll drink coffee and I'll listen to music, and I'll bolt the door.

Introvert insight:


I'm an introvert ...
I love being by myself, love being outdoors,
love taking a long walk with my dogs and looking at the trees, flowers, the sky.

- Audrey Hepburn.

But luxury has never appealed to me, I like simple things, books, being alone, or with somebody who understands.

As an introvert, you can be your own best friend or your worst enemy.
The good news is we generally like our own company, a quality that extroverts often envy.
We find comfort in solitude and know how to soothe ourselves.
