Introvert: Gifted and Highly Sensitive People in a Loud World

By Cammy Hollows

There is no doubt about the fact that introverts are different than extroverts. Although every person has their own unique personality traits, some generalizations can help us gain greater insights in the workings of our brains, and with that understanding, we can function better, feel better, and live better.



The aim of this book is exactly that: Help you understand yourself or the introvert in your life better. In order to accomplish that goal, this guide lists several topics related to shyness, signs of introversion in children, the benefits of being an introvert (very important to know), the difference between being an introvert or being introverted, and false myths that require some clarifications.



If any of these topics are of interest to you, then I invite you to start reading or listening to this book.

Chapter 1: Introversion Explained

Introversion is a fundamental personality style identified by a preference for the inner life of the mind over the outer world of other people. One of the Big 5 dimensions that specify all characters, introversion rests on a continuum at the opposite end of which is extroversion. If you compare them to extroverts, introverts enjoy subdued and solitary experiences.

Introverts do not fear or hate others, and they are neither shy nor afflicted by isolation. A crowded mixer may be abuse for introverts, but they enjoy one on one engagement in calm environments, which is more matched to the makeup of their nerve system. Evidence shows that, in contrast to with extroverts, brains of introverts do not respond strongly to viewing novel human faces; in such situations they produce less dopamine, a neurotransmitter connected with benefit.

Determining the Introvert

The term 'introversion' was more or less introduced by Carl Jung and implies an inwards orientation to someone's own mental life rather than the external orientation of extroverts to social life. Introverts acquire energy from thinking and lose energy in social situations. Most people are neither purely introverted nor simply extroverted but display features of both-- they're so-called ambiverts. Almost all people, for example, really need periodic solitude to replenish their energy.

How do I know if I am an introvert?

Cultures vary in how they value certain personality traits, and America likes its extroverts; it rewards assertiveness and motivates people to speak up.

First and foremost, introverts seek out and enjoy opportunities for reflection and privacy; they think better
