Living in a Sea of Extroverts

A strong individual who is outgoing, forward, red personality etc is a favored temperance that societies encourages. The extrovert fast talking, social bee seems to be the majority in such a fast past country. The spot light seems to be magnetized to such forwardness.
What about the introvert? They seemed to be swept under the rug as an undesired personality. Studies show that 75 percent of the country is extrovert leaving us introverts feeling overwhelmed... This forces to live outside of our niche in order to survive in such a fast past place. But what does it mean to be introverted? Psychologist have put daunting labels to such a tempered personality, such things as, inward selfishness, focusing on ones thoughts. or, introverted - Preferring the internal, satisfied with self, lacking interest or comfort in social interactions. One who focuses primarily on their own mind, feelings, or affairs. Some definitions go as far as conveying antisocial... I beg the differ, lets look at some famous people who are introverted: Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein, Clint Eastwood, Michael Jordan, Michael Jackson, just to name a few... Who would of thought that these superstars are introverted?
Psychology has put a false idea behind what it means to be introverted. It has equated with being shy an selfish. Shy is a lack of self-esteem and has nothing to do with introversion. OK, so what is introvert? It's this, Directed inwardly; a concentration of energy on inner-psychic processes, oriented to an inner evaluation of experience. We think before we talk, we analyze situations whether it's worth exerting energy by observing others first before we dive in. Our niche is thoroughly understanding one or two subjects until perfect knowledge. We pick our activities carefully. When we are thrown into a social scene we loose vital energy fast, but it doesn't mean we aren't social. We prefer depth in conversation and we don't consider acquaintances friends. Our friends consist of few but with lasting and satisfying relationships. The difference of introverts and extroverts is where they gain their energy and inspiration. Extroverts feel bored and drained when they are subjected to one topic and need people to energize them. Introverts thrive in personal study and intellectual things... They are the artists of the world, allowing inspiration to thrive through them...

Living in a sea of extroverts is overwhelming and at sometime makes an introvert feel like a fish out of water almost everywhere. However, there is nothing wrong with this personality and its something we can't change. Carl Jung, Leading psychologist of our time says we are born with our way of temperance as in our personality. And we all are spread across the continuum line. Some are far extro and other are far intro and some are somewhere in the middle. He emphases in order for one to live a fulfilling life one has to stay in their niche and not be forced out of it... Carl Jung conveys that if a individual is dramatically thrown out of his niche, such as an introvert thrown into an extroverted world they are subject to mental disorders!

The art created in the world is created by the rare individuals which many of them are introverted. Introverts are beautiful and full of inspiration and creativity. However, society has looked down upon them in such a extrovert world. We introverts should feel proud to be among the rare. Next time there is a doubt in your mind, thinking something is wrong with you because you choose to have solitude, meaningful events and filtered logic, think again. Because the world needs more introverts.
