Solitude Matters. And For Some People It's

The Secret To Life Is To Put Yourself In The Right Lighting.

A Widely Held, But Rarely Articulated, Belief In Our Society Is That The Ideal Self Is Bold, Alpha, Gregarious. Introversion Is Viewed Somewhere Between Disappointment And Pathology.

Introverts, In Contrast, May Have Strong Social Skills And Enjoy Parties And Business Meetings, But After A While Wish They Were Home In Their Pajamas. They Prefer To Devote Their Social Energies To Close Friends, Colleagues, And Family. They Listen More Than They Talk, Think Before They Speak, And Often Feel As If They Express Themselves Better In Writing Than In Conversation. They Tend To Dislike Conflict. Many Have A Horror Of Small Talk, But Enjoy Deep Discussions.

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

If You Enjoy Depth, Don't Force Yourself To Seek Breadth. If You Prefer Single-tasking To Multi-tasking, Stick To Your Guns.
