Are You An Introvert too?

"Introverts are drained by social encounters and energized by solitary, often creative pursuits. Their disposition is frequently misconstrued as shyness, social phobia or even avoidant personality disorder, but many introverts socialize easily; they just strongly prefer not to. In fact, the self-styled introvert can be more empathic and interpersonally connected than his or her outgoing counterparts." - Psychology Today 

 

 

 
 
 
For as long as I can remember, I've always been the solitary observer type, always in my head thinking, analyzing, and daydreaming.  Being an only child, I had to create an inner world to entertain myself.  It was about 3 years ago when I discovered an article about introversion. The more I read about this personality trait, everything started to make sense. 
 
I've never felt the need to fit in and be more outgoing.  When I was younger, and sometimes now, it always annoyed me when people tried to "break me out of my shell", no matter what they did, I wouldn't budge.  If you ever gotten the "you're so quiet, is everything alright?" question, then you know exactly what I'm talking about.  I like my quiet demeanor.   
 
As a producer, my introversion has helped me musically evolve over the years.  Making a beat  is both creative and analytical, taking extreme focus to get the desired result that's in my head, and that can take hours, even days until it's done.  

Introverts aren't shy, unconfident, or possible serial killers, and no, we don't hate you for being outgoing. 

Embrace the quiet.
