Over the past few years, I've come to get to know myself to the best of my abilities. I have learned about the things I enjoy and the things I don't. However, when it comes to my personality as a whole, I'm an introvert.

I have taken tests, and from those, I am able to learn about the development of my personality, being an introvert. However, I live in a world full of extroverts. Yet, in many aspects of my life, I have had to prove the fact that an introvert can also dominate in many of the different aspects that extroverts are known for: leadership, speaking, interactive skills, just to name a few. Introverts have also been over generalized in some areas. There are myths/stereotypes that need to be addressed and clarified.

1. Introverts Cannot Speak in Public

People usually prefer those who have a strong presence to speak in public. They typically look over people who seem shy, yet, only talk when they feel that it is necessary.

2. Introverts Do Not Like To Go Out At All

Not true, introverts love to have a great time with friends. They love to gather with amazing people. They love to laugh and have amazing memories. Yet, when it comes to being at home, it does not hurt to recharge and embrace the peace and quiet.

3. Introverts Are Unable to Take on Leadership Roles

Nonsense. Many times, they may be seen as followers, or part of the herd being led; yet when chosen to take on leadership roles, introverts are fully capable. They may not execute the same way extroverts do, but they bring their own share and input. They can also foresee and are good at analyzing, organizing and planning, which are necessary.

These are just to name a few.

Dear Extroverts,

We love your energy and enthusiasm, but sometimes we feel misunderstood in many aspects of life. We are trying our best to prove ourselves in aspects extroverts are usually praised for.

Sincerely,

Introverts
