COGNITIVE THINKING.

Introversion is "the state of or tendency toward being wholly or predominantly concerned with and interested in one's own mental life". Introverts tend to be more reserved and less assertive in social situations. They often take pleasure in solitary activities such as reading, writing, drawing, and using computers. The archetypal artist, writer, sculptor, composer, and inventor are all highly introverted. An introvert is likely to enjoy time spent alone and find less reward in time spent with large groups of people, though they tend to enjoy interactions with close friends. They prefer to concentrate on a single activity at a time and like to observe situations before they participate. Introverts are easily overwhelmed by too much stimulation from social gatherings and engagement. They are more analytical before speaking.Introversion is not the same as shyness. Being with people, even people they like and are comfortable with, can prevent them from their desire to be quietly introspective. Being introspective, though, does not mean that an introvert never has conversations. However, those conversations are generally about ideas and concepts, not about what they consider the trivial matters of social small talk. First, recognize that it's not a choice. It's not a lifestyle. It's an orientation.



- I couldnt agree with this more, Ive felt this way for as long as I could remember, without ever having my own words to describe this concept. Always wanting to see the fruition of creativity in general or concentrating on the inner world of the mind, blue printing everything. I constantly have thoughts always running through my mind in detail of not how things are, but how they should be or atleast how I want to view the perceptions of the world im in. Being over-analytic in conversations all the time to the point I just have to avoid them and the people of the conversations that seem so void. Always trying to think deeper rather than bigger for the sake of gaining wisdom, knowledge and understanding. People sometimes say Im to hard to get to know because of either how quiet I am or how I may stand off. Its good for me that way.
