Quiet is might. Solitude is strength. Introversion is power.

When an introvert is quiet, don't assume he is depressed, snobbish or socially deficient.

When a quiet introvert talks, heads turn, and that's power.

Asking others for input puts you in the driver's seat, and may feel less awkward than having to watch yourself on video.

Introvert conversations are like jazz. Each player gets to solo for a nice stretch before the other player comes in and does his solo.

Let's clear one thing up: Introverts do not hate small talk because we dislike people. We hate small talk because we hate the barrier it creates between people.

As an introvert, you can be your own best friend or your worst enemy. The good news is we generally like our own company, a quality that extroverts often envy. We find comfort in solitude and know how to soothe ourselves.
