When I was young, I don’t like to talk, so the word I heard the most is: "This child is too introverted."

And most people will feel "extrovert = good, introvert = bad", introverted children are like small fireflies hiding in their own world, only will glow brightly in a lonely dark.

I used to hate my introverted character, that it is not vivid enough, not enthusiastic. However, now, I do not think so anymore. In the process of growing up, I slowly realized that I was no different from others. "Introvert" and "extrovert" should be two unique and equally treated individuals, like the sun and the moon, in their different time and space staged the miracle of life.

In the book “The Introvert Advantage” mentions that introversion and extroversion are at opposite ends of the energy continuum. Where we fall into that continuum determines the way we live our life. 

People in a continuum tend to gain energy inward. People who are on the opposite side of the continuum tend to be outward to gain energy. Our fundamental differences in the center of our lives are manifested in everything we do on a daily basis. The author made an in-depth analysis of introversion and extroversion. When I read this book, I had a new understanding of myself.

Of course, not everyone can see through your silent appearance, in their eyes, you are shy, boring, and asocial. You are often the most obscure and overlooked, and sometimes you might get hurt by their intentional or unintentional language.

The first time I cried because of introvert was when I won the top prize in the debate contest during my primary school, my mother proudly announced the good news in front of everyone.

"If this type of child can win the first prize, then if my son participated, he can win first place easily!" My aunt said with a sarcastic tone to my mom.

"What do you mean by this type of child? Do you mean that my child does not deserve to get the first prize?!" My mom replied angrily. My cousin’s expression becomes unnatural, and he tried to stop his mom.

“Mom, stop it already.”
"Did I said anything wrong? Tony, you are too introverted, it is not easy to find a job after graduated, keep quiet all day, who will like you? Look and learn from your cousin, laugh and smile every day" My aunt said.

"Is introverted really that bad?" I asked my mom.

“There's nothing to be ashamed of; really, you have to believe that everyone in this world is a unique individual. If everyone in the world is an extrovert, don’t you think it is too noisy?” My mom said.

However, if you need to be silent when needed, and speak when you must, do not let others think we are weak and vulnerable people.

Many times later, whenever I met some problems because of the introvert, I will think of what my mom said.

Introvert is not weak.

I once read a quote: "I am an introverted child, there are few people who understand the world of an introvert." Some people praise that silence is gold, some people laugh at you say you are a fool. Some people become successful, become famous. For me, I just hope that I don't have to worry about food, and have the opportunity to realize my little dream.”

To those who are introverted, may you be joyful, may you be diligent, may you be able to find that orbit that only belongs to your life, may you eventually grow up to be like what you want.
