23 Signs You're Secretly An Introvert
When
I took the Myers-Briggs at 25, and it told me I was an introvert, I
thought I had done something wrong on the test. All my life I had been
labeled as an extrovert. I called some friends, and 90% of them agreed -
it was a mistake. I'd loved theater, and had enjoyed all my public
speaking classes in college. There was no way, plus, I didn't want to be
an introvert!!!
However, one very close and wise friend,
agreed with Myers-Briggs. We discussed it for weeks over coffee, and
over time I became more open-minded to the idea. A year later, accepting
that part of myself, has brought a lot of peace. What I often genuinely
want and need, makes more sense now, and I am more likely to not go
against it.
“Introversion is a basic temperament, so the
social aspect -- which is what people focus on -- is really a small part
of being an introvert," - Dr. Marti Olsen Laney, psychotherapist and
author of "The Introvert Advantage.
Naturally, I got a kick out of finding this article and wanted to share.
