10 Strengths of Being an Introvert

I have often been intrigued by people who think that loud people are the successful ones. Day in, day out I come across different sorts of people, and all of them believe in talking methods to influence others. They talk like experts in the field… as if they are gurus of life who know everything, can speak on any given subject and have gained life’s wisdom with their experiential knowledge. They believe in the power of their words and tend to think that their words influence their hearers. Most of them that I have met are extroverts of this kind. Extroverts are talkers, and I do agree 100 percent that they do have the power of verbal communication. If their hearers tend, to be introverts like me, they get to mistake my silence or my listening for lack of knowledge or as a person with poor insight. I have often noticed that they are not good listeners and don’t give the introvert an opportunity to talk.

So, in reality, are introverts poor in communication skills or are they not people who can influence others? Absolutely not! Introverts have great strengths of their own. Susan Cain, the international best seller of Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking lists on the strengths of introverts.

Ten strengths of being an introvert are:

1. Quiet Temperament

Cain says that introverts have a quiet temperament which is their hidden superpower. I agree with Cain. Just because introverts are not great socializers, it doesn’t make them less powerful publicly…

“The ambitious, genre-melding performances will begin in the spring of 2019, and include a musical series conceived by Steve McQueen and Quincy Jones and a collaboration between the poet Anne Carson, the actor Ben Whishaw and the opera singer Renée Fleming. A newly commissioned piece by Ms. Carson entitled “Norma Jeane Baker of Troy,” based on Euripides’ “Helen,” will be shown in the venue’s more intimate theater space. “I asked Anne, ‘Would you ever consider writing a dramatic monologue for a performer?’” Mr. Poots recalled. “Within six to nine months, she sent me the first draft and said: ‘I’ve written this for Ben Whishaw. And he’ll do it.’” Mr. Whishaw will perform it with Ms. Fleming.”

There's not much in life I feel like I'm authorised to speak on. But this is a show I've watched 8 times over at least, own twice on boxset (a mistake,…

Hey! So after years of trying to articulate to people why they need to watch this show, and what makes it just so special, I caved. This is my argument for Being Human, and why everybody needs to watch it.

Please check it out if you’d like, and thank you if you do!

(P.S. - the first ~40 seconds have no audio, but that’s just for the disclaimers / trigger warnings. I start talking/playing some light music straight after that.)
