An Introvert's POV

we heard about freedom of speech but wat about the freedom of silence?
being introverted does not necessarily mean being shy; it just means that ppl tire you out.
while extroverts need company like the energizer bunny needs batteries, introverts need to spend time alone.
Introverts dont harbour a grudge against the rest of the human race: "we love people... we just cant socialise with them all the time. we want to hold their hand or hug them or just sit quietly and read a book with them."
what introverts dont want to do is go to parties and make small talk.
But the world is filled with people who do- and they set the standard for what is considered normal.

-If u're an extrovert, be confident that the introvert nxt to u is enjoying ur company. If he isnt, dont worry abt it. it's not like he's going to tell u- (Companionable Silence)

If introverts run the world, it would b no doubt b a calmer, saner, more peaceful sort of place.
In a world run by introverts, a meeting would not last over an hour becos, they dont think by talking, they think by thinking.

Someone says: "you're so quiet I sometimes forget u are there."
Ouch! still, this could b ever useful if i ever decide to become a ninja. Or wallpaper.
