If you realize that you are afraid to get along with strangers or even talk to them, you may be an introvert. It is a painful ordeal for introverts to participate in social activities. However, they are good at hiding their discomfort, and when the party’s over, their performance is over too. They also want to help themselves overcome their fears. In this process, they learn to accept their introvert traits and say no to things.
