Recommended: Characteristics of extrovert and introvert

My whole entire life I have been an introvert. You would think after going to seven different schools while growing up that by now I would have learned how to be more outgoing and more of an extrovert as it is called. However, I do not think that is something that I personally can learn. I have always been the quiet or shy girl. When I started going to a new high school my freshman year I was very quiet and never really said much. As the years went by I made many friends but about every single one of them said that when they first met me they thought that I was the most stuck up and unapproachable person they had ever met simply because of how quiet I was. I honestly could not believe they thought that because that really is not how I am but …show more content…

Every Wednesday night at college we have a Common Ground worship service. When I lived at home I was at church all the time, so it is refreshing to have this up here as well. Tonight specifically made me realize something. We played a game where the leader makes a statement and if you agree you go to one side of the room and if you disagree you go to the other. The first couple were easy decisions: I like hiking, I like camping, and I hate snakes. The fourth statement was, "I am an extrovert." I found myself on the side of the room that had way less people and all of the people I have slowly started to become good friends with are on the other side. Shocker, huh? So as soon as I start thinking, "Man, I wish I was more like all of them," the next statement is made: "I am comfortable sharing my faith." I was quickly on the other side of the room because I absolutely love sharing my …show more content…

Just because I do not talk much does not mean I am ashamed or scared to talk about what I believe in. I guess I have somewhat always felt that I was looked at as lesser because I was not as vocal as others about faith. Honestly, maybe no one has looked at me that way and maybe it just hit me tonight and I needed to share it. One guy said it perfectly, "I wouldn't say that I am uncomfortable sharing my faith. I may not go around talking about it 24/7 but if someone asks me about it I am more than willing to tell them." This is definitely how I am as well. This year I got the chance to share my testimony with my missions class, my youth group, students in Mexico, and a group of middle school girls. As nervous as I was each time, I absolutely loved it. I guess this is more for me than anyone else but it was all in my brain wanting to get

Extroverts can be some of the best people you meet. They have plenty to offer and thrive at the attention of others. However, being introverted can be just as great. In a society where being extroverted is the ideal, it can be very difficult to be an introvert. Susan Cain argues in her Ted Talk, “The Power of Introverts”, that introverts can share many brilliant ideas with the world and should be encouraged and celebrated for who they are.

Furthermore, there were different groups of people who sang on the stage every night; mostly the singers were groups of college kids that were attending Association Free Lutheran Bible School (AFLBS,) so I was never tired of hearing the same voices sing. After the morning worship service, everyone split up to go to two or three different workshops. For example, I went to a workshop on homosexuality and religion; the speaker there was very talented and he gave a speech that provided a lot of useful and interesting information. There were all kinds of workshops you could attend; they ranged from video games all the way to relationship advice. Overall, the worship services at FLY and the workshops changed my view of religion, and I would do the same thing ten times over again and never become tired of

I am also told, that I often say things in a very demeaning way. I never recognize when I do it, therefore I never apologize for it. Which leads some people to perceive me as arrogant. My sister looks up to me for being passionate about my beliefs and values, and is often extracting my

Fitting in has always been difficult for me which is why I have always had a difficult time getting to meet new people. Whether it 's in a new college, high school, middle school, elementary school, church school, soccer team, etc., I always seem to be the “quiet” one of the bunch and it never fails to draw people 's attention. I believe I was shy and not very talkative because of my height, my teeth (before I had braces), and because of my past speech issues, to name a few, but most of this has changed ever since. I no longer have crooked teeth or a stutter in my speech and I am now able to speak to a large group of people without getting nervous or scared, or so I thought. Moving from Victorville to Riverside taught me that the people you once called friends can leave you in a heartbeat just because you moved 52 miles away from them.

Mormon Magic It is difficult to pinpoint the exact moment that causes someone to commence adulthood. Personally, it could be easy to say that I have matured because of tough times, such as when I realized that “happily ever after” did not exist between my parents, as I had learned from the countless screaming matches and daunting door slams. Another possible time was when I had to live in a shelter and learn how to live in an impossibly tiny room with my mother and sister, sharing the same roof with strangers, when before then, I had lived in a spacious four-bedroom home. However, none of that quite fits the bill. During all of that, I was still completely dependent, helpless even, which is definitely not what defines adulthood.

The misunderstood introvert is depicted in a powerful way through Susan Cain’s speech; she makes a connection many overlook and uses close to the heart personal experiences to draw her audience in. She introduces her ( it is not an ideology ---it might be her view or theory) ideology and connects a few child hood memories to the subject matter making not only a relatable but authentic ( entrance?) entrance to the intended audience. She paints a picture of being an introvert and the pressures introverts go through within society in a clear and genuine way. She pinpoints how our “New Aged America” is dominated by extrovert perception and that the attributes of introvert’s cease to be remembered; especially by employers and educators as solitary activity does not hold much emphasis in these systems.

The speaker, Susan Cain, who is an introvert herself, explains how a third to a half of the people in the world are introverts. Most likely you know at least a few introverts, if you’re not one yourself. The speaker is trying to convey the fact that introverts are no less important than extroverts are, yet the world is more suited for extroverts. The first idea the speaker is asserting is that the school system in America is made for extroverts. This is because most schoolwork in the classroom is now is done in groups, even for subjects kids would be better off working alone in, like math.

Growing up with strict, religious parents gave me a narrow perspective on life – that is, I was pretty homophobic and racist. Initially, my parents had planned for me to attend a private religious school, but I wasn’t having it and ended up enrolled at the local public elementary school instead. Here, I met people that gave from a huge variety of lifestyles, from super spoiled to living below the poverty line. However, we were all the same once we got to school and the more that I got to know my peers, the more I began to question everything that my parents had taught me. My friends who were followers of different religions exposed me to drastically different cultures than the one that I knew and so overtime, I became much more open minded

The fact that this society in the twenty-first century favors extroverts over introverts is a madding fact for introverts. Most introverts are not shy, rather that is just their personality and the way they were created. Introverts silence does not mean that they will not make it anywhere in their life however. Abraham Lincoln was a true introvert, and despite the odds, he made it through the publicity and politics to become one of America’s greatest presidents in history. Introverts are our inventors, our engineers; they join with extroverts to be our doctors and politicians.
