Being an introvert is a real thing. It’s a misconception by people that introverts are of shy and mysterious nature. The difference being, they just don’t ask out for help like the extroverts.
It is believed and proved that introverts have a better focus on things than extroverted ones.
Most of the brilliant people of all time, including, Albert Einstein, Bill Gates, Eleanor Roosevelt, Elon Musk, Emma Watson, J.K.Rowling, Meryl Streep, Warren Buffet are introverts.
They have their way of thinking and love to do things on their own. You won’t find them partying late at night, rather they would prefer to watch a movie with some popcorn and chips.
