Being Introverted, not a mental sickness, shyness or withdrawal
Being Introverted, not a mental sickness, shyness or withdrawal
Introvert originated from Latin intro- , “inward,” and vertere , “turning.” It describes a person who tends to turn inward mentally. Introverts sometimes avoid large groups of people, feeling more energized by time alone.
Introversion is at its root a type of temperament. It is not the same as shyness or having a withdrawn personality, and it is not pathological. It is also not something you can change. But you can learn to work with it, not against it.
