Life of an introvert!

Am I an introvert and the answer is yes! I talk less and keep it to the barest minimum and I do not talk unless it’s needed! Am I an anti-social for being an introvert! Or am I someone with less energy! None of these!

I’m a pro-quiet as per Adam Grant’s words! Actually, I’m against the useless noise!

I lose focus while being an extrovert! I lose energy to think, which I need so much to think deep, more than ordinary!

Read somewhere; it’s your upbringing that shapes; whether you become an extrovert or introvert at the end of the day! And amazingly, this holds true for me! Strangely , I can also act both!

Being introvert has its share of downsides also! People take you as ignorant or arrogant! I'm neither! My understanding is that why talk unless it's needed 😃 or someone needs you to talk! Yes, I can write and I love expressing myself through my writings!

Fact is while talking I can think once before actually expressing myself; people can get mistaken, make a wrong interpretation of my words! But in writing, I get time to think more than once! I can write, rewrite to express myself! I can best express my feelings and my assumption is that best expression is subjective! Your best might not be the best for me and vice versa!

Writing can work wonders in your life; it has the ability to take your pain away and lessen your fears, anxiety and everything that keeps your energy down! This is not backed by theory or data! This is my feeling and I can feel it right now! Away from the mundane, I'm in my own world where I can feel myself only! Sounds philosophical! No philosophy; pure facts of life!

Paradoxical; philosophy literally means, the "love of wisdom!" In a broader sense, philosophy is an activity people undertake when they seek to understand fundamental truths about themselves, the world in which they live, and their relationships to the world and to each other!

I'm looking for the truth and still denying it! Nothing to do with for me being an introvert! I'm a contrarian, an unorthodox also!
