Life of a Introvert: Is it Healthy?

An Introvert can be a lot of things and some people may say that an Introvert is someone who maybe quiet, reserved and mellow which can lead to someone thinking that an Introvert is shy. Being an Introvert first hand it can come off sometimes as me being rude and for someone that gets that a lot that's sort of an understatement.

Life of an Introvert for me consist of work, home, television, followed by occasional working on the important things that matter to me that will help me awareness for important factors across the world. I talk to the same exact people everyday and for me that's all the satisfaction for me that I really need because after a long life of interaction with people I found out peace is something I truly value and I appreciate. A lot of people think that Introverts are not outgoing, but that's one of my best qualities about myself, they assume you can coexist the two but I am living proof you can be both.

People tend to think that Introverts are considered weak and that extroverts are better and they look life in the eye and go with the flow with every situation. I believe that Introverts are misunderstood because they are socially withdrawn, but they are mad loyal! Introverts are considered weak because they are easily manipulated because of the fact they are socially withdrawn from the world. If a manipulative person gets a hold of someone who is an introvert it will become easier to exploit them.

Introverts feel like they live in the Extroverts shadow, but in reality they have many advantages over extroverts including:

• Introverts are undemanding
  • Introverts love their SPACE and they respect the space of others, they are independent and not clingy at all.
• Introverts have sharp judgment
  • Introverts observe 100% of the time, at least I do. Introverts are 9 times out of 10 right about someone or something before they even meet the person or endure the situation, observation is our best friend.
• Introverts are great listeners
  
  • Introverts are naturally more receptive and understand how difficult it is for others to open up and trust people, they are true Empaths!
• Introverts are more independent

Is it healthy to be a introvert?

From personal experience and being an Introvert myself being an Introvert is normal and healthy, I say this because most of the population is introverted and I feel they have a leadership advantage, they often think before speaking or acting, they crave space, and are better understanding in most situations.

As an Introvert I stand 100% behind the notion that it is healthy because I myself can state for a fact that I have excelled in everything in my life based on the fact of being alone and having my full space to grow as well as limiting negative behaviors and engaging in them. I feel that Introverts focus a lot on mental health and self-care, I take myself to the movies every week on Thursday as well I give myself a self-care day usually on Sundays.

If we can't take out time for ourselves to know ourselves better and avoid things that don't make us happy how are we supposed to be with another person when that time is right or even recognize when we need to take a step back to reflect to help ourselves grow.
