Everyone Shines, Given The Right Lighting.

Don't Think Of Introversion As Something That Needs To Be Cured.

Some Introverts Are Perfectly Comfortable With Public Speaking; I'm Not One Of Them.

Being Relatively Unmoved By Rewards Gives You The Incalculable Power To Go Your Own Way.

Love Is Essential; Gregariousness Is Optional. Cherish Your Nearest And Dearest. Work With Colleagues You Like And Respect. Scan New Acquaintances For Those Who Might Fall Into The Former Categories Or Whose Company You Enjoy For Its Own Sake. And Don't Worry About Socializing With Everyone Else. Relationships Make Everyone Happier, Introverts Included, But Think Quality Over Quantity.

Many Introverts Are Also "highly Sensitive," Which Sounds Poetic, But Is Actually A Technical Term In Psychology. If You Are A Sensitive Sort, Then You're More Apt Than The Average Person To Feel Pleasantly Overwhelmed By Beethoven's "moonlight Sonata" Or A Well-turned Phrase Or An Act Of Extraordinary Kindness. You May Be Quicker Than Others To Feel Sickened By Violence And Ugliness, And You Likely Have A Very Strong Conscience.
