Introvert? Part one If you wonder if you are an introvert or I if you are interested in how an introvert works, please watch some Ted Talks Conferences on that subject. There are few, but they are interesting. The first one I saw is from Susan Cain. To summarize it very quickly: a third to a half of the population in the world is introvert. Introverts like and need to spend some time on their own, not necessarily alone. To read a book near the other members of your family could be an example of social activity for introverts. Nobody is one hundred percent introvert or extravert, every single person is a mix of both tendencies. Everybody can contribute and will have to contribute to find solutions for all the huge problems our societies are facing, and for that everybody has to evolve in a context which is favorable to think, and to create or to propose solutions. And for that introvert people need more privacy, more autonomy, and sometimes more solitude. But nowadays our societies promote open space offices, collaborating for everything, even in school, where a good student has to be an extravert. The conclusion : the world needs introvert and extraverts to face challenges, so we all have to make sure that introverts can also find good conditions at school, at work, to be themselves, to think, to create and then after to share with all the others their contribution.
