“Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom "~Aristotle

An introvert is often thought of as a quiet, reserved, and thoughtful individual. They don’t seek out special attention or social engagements, as these events can leave introverts feeling exhausted and drained.

Characteristics of introverts:

·Prefer time for themselves

·Are drained from social networking sites

·Prefer working alone

·Have close circle of friends

·Prefer writing over talking

Having said all this now my point is are introverts shy? No, it’s a myth that is associated with introverts and this needs to be broken. Being judgmental about this issue is wrong. Whenever someone introduces themselves as an introverts, the very first question is are you nervous?

Nervousness is a common thing that is experienced by every human being so associating it to an individual is not the correct way. Every individual has something unique and judging them decolorizes the entire thing. The above statement by Aristotle proves that nobody has the right to diminish our identity and knowing ourselves is the greatest assets that can balance your life.

“I wish, as well as everybody else, to be perfectly happy; but like everybody else, it must be in my own way.” ~ Jane Austen.
