If you answered yes to any of these questions, keep reading. Are you an introvert? If so, you probably know how irritating it is to constantly be asked why you're so quiet. Or, to be told to be more social as if you're doing something wrong. It can make you feel like an alien or an outsider. Maybe you've even tried being more outgoing to fit in but found it exhausting. Thankfully, you don't have to change who you are to be happy. In fact, according to PsychToGo.net, pretending to be an extravert can actually have a negative impact on your mental performance. A 2018 study by Lawn, Rodney B. et al, "Quiet Flourishing: The Authenticity and Well-Being of Trait Introverts Living in the West Depends on Extraversion-Deficit Beliefs" examined how living in a society that favors extraversion affects introverts. They found that the desire to be more extraverted significantly affected introverted participants' authenticity and well-being. In other words, introverts could be more authentic and substantially increase their well-being by simply accepting their introversion. Backed by the latest research, you'll find plenty of reasons to not only accept, but take pride in being an introvert in this book.
