OVERALL RATING
QUIET POWER... THE SECRET STRENGTHS OF INTROVERTS. Introverts, in contrast, may have strong social skills and enjoy parties & business meetings, but after a while, wish they were home. They prefer to devote their social energies to close friends, colleagues & family. They listen more than they talk, think before they speak & 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. Being quiet does not mean that we don't have something to say. There's zero correlation between being the best talker & having the best ideas. We're excellent readers of others. The highly sensitive [introverted] tend to be philosophical or spiritual in their orientation, rather than materialistic of hedonistic. They dislike small talk. They often describe themselves as creative or intuitive. They dream vividly, and can often recall their dreams the next day. They love music, nature, art, physical beauty. They feel exceptionally strong emotions... sometimes acute bouts of joy, but also sorrow, melancholy, and fear. Highly sensitive people also process information about their environments... both physical & emotion... unusually deeply. They tend to notice subtleties that others miss, another persons shift in mood, say, or a lightbulb burning a touch too brightly. We are comfortable being ourselves. So stay true to your own nature. If you like to do things in a slow & steady way, dont let others make you feel as if you have to race. If you enjoy depth, dont force yourself to seek breadth. If you prefer single-tasking to multi-tasking, stick to your guns. Being relatively unmoved by rewards gives you the incalculable power to go your own way. Introverted does not mean inferior. Introverts need to trust their gut & share their ideas as powerfully as they can. This does not mean aping extroverts; ideas can be shared quietly... https://www.instagram.com/kevinmattsonofficial/
