World Introvert Day

Celebrate “World Introvert Day” on Jan. 2 and embrace your inner introvert! This annual holiday was created to honor the unique strengths of introverts, which include thoughtfulness, creativity, focus and resilience. This day is a great opportunity for people who identify as introverts to come together and celebrate their special traits in a positive way. So don’t be afraid to take some time out of your busy schedule to appreciate yourself and all that you have accomplished thus far! The two personality types-introvert and extrovert are opposites — introverts focus inward, into their own thoughts, and extroverts focus outward, into the world. But don’t get too excited; most people are a little bit of both. Introverts are mostly concerned with what’s going on inside their own heads, so an introvert is a quiet person who likes people but doesn’t feel the need to go to parties every night. Introverts are often but not always shy. Extroverts pay more attention to what’s going on around them than what is in their heads. They love to get out and about. If the phone rings, an extrovert can’t wait to answer it. “I owe everything that I have done to the fact that I am very much at ease being alone.”
