Permalink | 1 note "It’s… important to understand that introversion is different from shyness. Shyness is the fear of negative judgment, while introversion is simply the preference for less stimulation. Shyness is inherently uncomfortable; introversion is not… We are not anti-social; we’re differently social… In our culture, snails are not considered valiant animals – we are constantly exhorting people to “come out of their shells” – but there’s a lot to be said for taking your home with you wherever you go."
— Susan Cain, author of “Quiet : The Power of Introverts”
