About INTROVERTS

I just happened to browse this article in the newspaper, and it really caught my attention. 
Introverts are often misunderstood by most people because of their silence. In most cases, they appear that they do not care, but the truth is they are observing their surroundings, and listening carefully to every word a people say. Inside their minds, there lie a restless machine that keeps initializing, analyzing, reflecting the words they hear and the actions they see. So when a man is quiet , it doesn't necessarily mean that they don't care at all. They were actually thinking and considering your opinion, weighing circumstances, and analyzing data. They were in deep thoughts and concentrating the contingency of the possible and the impossible. It is also why often introverts have anxiety or always in a day-dreaming mode because they are thinking too much. 

I'm glad the media  took time and space to publish an article like this, for society to fully understand introverts. I'm afraid that introverts are often misunderstood as quiet and not thinking at all or snobbish. Somehow, the society has the hint that introverts think and analyze a lot, the reason they are silent most of the times.
