Introverts, in contrast, may have strong social skills and enjoy parties and business meetings, but after a while wish they were home in their pajamas. They prefer to devote their social energies to close friends, colleagues, and family. They listen more than they talk, think before they speak, and often feel as if they express themselves better in writing than in conversation. They tend to dislike conflict. Many have a horror of small talk, but enjoy deep discussions.

This is one reason that depression is so debilitating. When you’re in the thick of it, you feel like you’re a failure for not being able to do things like get out of bed but in reality, you have an illness.

Shake up the scene. Be the change you want to see in the world. You’ll thank yourself for it.
