Introverted vs. shy/insecure people
There’s a big difference between being an introvert and being afraid of public speaking, meeting people and speaking up when necessary. Social anxiety is not introversion, it’s a fear you must face and overcome.
Thinking before speaking and acting
- Make sure that you speak up when you have something important to say.
- Take advantage of your ability to observe other people, the environment you’re in and the energy flow in the room.
- People will pay more attention to what you say when you do speak up.
- You probably have the ability to study things better and faster, so when you do say something make sure that it’s an eye-opener.

Long-Term Memory Vs Short-Term Memory For Introverts
Like in a computer hard disk, information that is retained for long periods of time is in our long-term memory and is not easy to recall reflexively, as it is outside our conscious awareness.
Our short-term memory (also called working memory or active memory) is smaller in size and recalls information in an instant.
Introverts seem to favour long-term memory over short-term memory.
Writing And Introverts
Due to the way their brains are wired, introverts make great writers, able to express themselves in a more comfortable and relaxed manner, as they take their own time to build a great story or narrative.
Many introverts prefer text messages or email over phone calls, and are great at journaling and blogging.
