What's on your mug?

An introvert prefers to spend time alone in order to recharge their inner being. An introvert may appear to be shy to others, but that is not necessarily an accurate label. Being among groups of friends, family and even strangers can be wonderfully stimulating and joyous occasions. Interacting with people and attention to multiple sources of stimuli tends to draw down an introvert's energy causing them to eventually withdraw to spend time alone to re-energize. Small talk and pointless conversations tend to draw down an introvert's energy rapidly.

An introvert enjoys time alone without unwanted distractions and stimulation in order to recharge their inner strength.

Opposite of extrovert. A person who is energized by spending time alone. Often found in their homes, libraries, quiet parks that not many people know about, or other secluded places, introverts like to think and be alone. Contrary to popular belief, not all introverts are shy. Some may have great social lives and love talking to their friends but just need some time to be alone to "recharge" afterwards. The word "Introvert" has negative connotations that need to be destroyed. Introverts are simply misunderstood because the majority of the population consists of extroverts.

Ur an introvert

By SpoopSpoopy

A person who gains energy through low stimulus activities. These activities can include spending time alone, reading, studying, going for a relaxing stroll or jog, etc. Introverts are not necessarily shy and can in fact be very social, provided they have time to recharge afterwards. One defining characteristic seems to be that they feel less reward from highly social situations which is why they can loose energy, feel tired or even overwhelmed when at social events such as parties, concerts, sporting events, etc.

James Bond was an introvert. Introverts and Extroverts are both awesome and gain energy in different ways.
