Would you consider yourself an introvert?
I am, and I have grown to appreciate my introverted nature more and more over the years. Even though Western culture tends to celebrate extraverts and reward many extraverted behaviors, I've learned that introverts possess strengths that are equally valuable and important.
Since introverts make up about a third of the population, it's important for everyone to understand their traits and behaviors and recognize how to benefit from what introverts have to offer in both personal and professional settings.
