Question Answers

Being an 'introvert' means feeling energized by spending time alone or in quieter settings rather than actively seeking stimulation from large crowds or constant social interaction. Introverts often engage in reflective thinking, preferring deep, meaningful conversations over small talk. They value 'solitude' as a means of recharging their mental and emotional batteries, which helps them thrive in environments that respect personal space and privacy.

Introversion: A Virtue

Introversion, often misunderstood as shyness or aloofness, can be seen as a 'virtue' because it develops self-reflection and genuine understanding in relationships. Instead of scattering their energy, introverts channel their focus inward, cultivating richer inner lives and creative insight. This quality can lead to thoughtful decision-making and meaningful connections, as introverts tend to more genuine, real, and intelligent; rather than artificial and emotional.

🌴First of all, nothing is universally good or bad. And surely 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐭 (or) be able to 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞 is a "virtue" (quality) of a human being.

🍀𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝—just living alone (or being alone) does not mean you have failed in creating good relationships. Just as being around dozens of people would not mean that you are great in maintaining relationships, or that you are very virtuous (a nice person).

☘️Just as anything else in life, 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 "𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞". In fact, those who are mostly alone (or with very few close relationships) are the ones who are 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 (compared to those who are surrounded by dozens of people)

🪴The simple reason is that—"𝙒𝙚 𝙫𝙖𝙡𝙪𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 𝙬𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙨" (the lesser close relationships we keep, the more we value and nurture them). Therefore, 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐖𝐇𝐎 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐀𝐑𝐄... you are this for a reason. Do Not try to be like someone else. Do Not lose your-self in the process of life... Indeed, 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙤𝙛 "𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙚 𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛".

Now we will touch the second part of your question:

🌻Being introvert must be seen as a "virtue" of any human being. Because you will find that those who are introvert have constant conversation with their "inner self" (call it the 𝚜𝚒𝚡𝚝𝚑 𝚜𝚎𝚗𝚜𝚎 or 𝙶𝚘𝚍'𝚜 𝚟𝚘𝚒𝚌𝚎) and thus 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡—they are more likely to 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐝𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫—𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝙥𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙚, 𝙬𝙞𝙨𝙙𝙤𝙢, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙥𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚.

🌈Therefore, 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭. Do not get carried away by the false light of the world. Do not force yourself to be extrovert or be like someone else. Remember: No one has aciheved success by being or doing something that they did not want to.
